Understanding the key features that determine structural flexibility in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is key to exploiting their dynamic physical and chemical properties. We have previously reported a 2D MOF material, CuL1, comprising five-coordinate metal nodes that displays exceptional CO2/N2 selectively (L1=bis(4-(4-carboxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolyl)methane). Here we examine the effect of utilising six-coordinate metal centres (CoII and NiII) in the synthesis of isostructural MOFs from L1, namely CoL1 and NiL1. The octahedral geometry of the metal centre within the MOF analogues precludes an ideal eclipse of the 2D layers, resulting in an offset stacking, and in certain cases, the formation of 2-fold interpenetrated analogues β-CoL1 and β-NiL1. We used a combination of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction (PXRD and SCXRD) to show that desolvation is accompanied by a structural change for NiL1, and complete removal of the coordinated H2O ligands results in a reduction in long-range order. The offset nature of the 2D layers in combination with the structural changes impedes the adsorption of meaningful quantities of gases (N2, CO2), highlighting the importance of a five-coordinate metal centre in achieving optimal pore accessibility for this family of flexible materials.

Fluorine is in many aspects unique among the elements, and its incorporation into organic molecules can dramatically change their physical and chemical properties. This minireview will survey the existing classes of fluorinated porous materials, with a particular focus on all-organic porous materials. We will highlight our work on the preparation and study of metal–organic frameworks and porous molecular crystals derived from extensively fluorinated rigid aromatic pyrazoles and tetrazoles. Where possible, comparisons between fluorinated and nonfluorinated materials will be made.

Background: Developing a controllable drug delivery system is imperative and important to reduce side effects and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of drugs. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) an emerging class of hybrid porous materials built from metal ions or clusters bridged by organic linkers have attracted increasing attention in the recent years owing to the unique physical structures possessed, and the potential for vast applications. The superior properties of MOFs, such as well-defined pore aperture, tailorable composition and structure, tunable size, versatile functionality, high agent loading, and improved biocompatibility, have made them promising candidates as drug delivery hosts. MOFs for drug delivery is of great interest and many very promising results have been found, indicating that these porous solids exhibit several advantages over existing systems. Objective: This review highlights the latest advances in the synthesis, functionalization, and applications of MOFs in drug delivery, and has classified them using drug loading strategies. Finally, challenges and future perspectives in this research area are also outlined.

The chemical mutability of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is an advantageous feature that allows fine-tuning of their physical and chemical properties. Herein, we report the successful isoreticulation of a MOF with an outstanding gas selectivity for CO2 versus N2: [Cu(L1)(H2O)]·xS (CuL1), where H2L1 = bis(4-(4-carboxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolyl)methane) and S = solvate. By modifying the steric bulk and length of the original ligand, we synthesised three new MOFs with 2D networks isoreticular to CuL1, namely [Cu(L1Me)(H2O)]·xS (CuL1Me), [Cu(L2)(H2O)]·xS (CuL2), and [Cu(L2Me)(H2O)]·xS (CuL2Me) (where H2L1Me = bis(4-(4-carboxyphenyl)-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolyl)methane, H2L2 = bis(4-(4-carboxyphenyl)-(ethyne-2,1-yl)-1H-pyrazolyl)methane, and H2L2Me = bis(4-(4-carboxyphenyl)-(ethyne-2,1-yl)-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolyl)methane). Depending on the steric hindrance and structure metrics of the organic links, staggered and eclipsed arrangements of 2D 44 net layers were obtained. The anisotropy of the pore dimensions is proportional to the linker length (L2 and L2Me), which when increased, renders these materials non-porous. However, the more sterically demanding ligand L1Me gives a material that shows gate-opening behaviour in response to a CO2 absorbate. The synthesis and structure of an unexpected mixed-valence CuII/CuI 3D MOF, Cu3[Cu(L2Me)2]2(H2O)4]·xS (Cu5(L2Me)4), containing an unusual trimeric CuII node are also reported.

Utilizing first-principles density functional theory calculations, we identify that weak adhesion of metal clusters (for example Cu and Au) on pristine MOF-5, IRMOF-3, IRMOF-3-OH and IRMOF-3-SH, which reveals that metal clusters may be unable to stably exist in the pore of MOFs. Furthermore, upon removing the hydrogen of NH2, SH and OH functional groups, the adsorption energy between metal cluster and functionalized MOFs improve, which ascribes to chemical adsorption. Meanwhile, these metal clusters become cationic as a result of the formation of metal-O, S or N adhesion bonds. Hence, our study may provide a candidate approach to deposit metal clusters into the pore of MOFs.
