Dynamic nuclear polarization utilizing photoexcited triplet electrons (triplet-DNP) has great potential for room-temperature hyperpolarization of nuclear spins. However, the polarization transfer to molecules of interest remains a challenge due to the fast spin relaxation and weak interaction with target molecules at room temperature in conventional host materials. Here, we demonstrate the first example of DNP of guest molecules in a porous material at around room temperature by utilizing the induced-fit-type structural transformation of a crystalline yet flexible metal-organic framework (MOF). In contrast to the usual hosts, 1H spin-lattice relaxation time becomes longer by accommodating a pharmaceutical model target 5-fluorouracil as the flexible MOF changes its structure upon guest accommodation to maximize the host-guest interactions. Combined with triplet-DNP and cross-polarization, this system realizes an enhanced 19F-NMR signal of guest target molecules at around room temperature.

Understanding the processes by which porous solid-state materials adsorb and release guest molecules would represent a significant step towards developing rational design principles for functional porous materials. To elucidate the process of liquid exchange in these materials, dynamicin situX-ray diffraction techniques have been developed which utilize liquid-phase chemical stimuli. Using these time-resolved diffraction techniques, the ethanol solvation process in a flexible metal–organic framework [Co(AIP)(bpy)0.5(H2O)]·2H2O was examined. The measurements provide important insight into the nature of the chemical transformation in this system including the presence of a previously unreported neat ethanol solvate structure.

<p>A new porous and flexible metal-organic framework (MOF) has been synthesised from the flexible asymmetric linker N-(4-Carboxyphenyl)succinamate (CSA) and heptanuclear zinc oxo-clusters of formula [Zn<sub>7</sub>O<sub>2</sub>(Carboxylate)<sub>10</sub>DMF<sub>2</sub>] involving two coordinated terminal DMF ligands. The structural response of this MOF to the removal or exchange of its guest molecules has been probed using a combination of experimental and computational approaches. The topology of the material, involving double linker connections in the <i>a</i> and <i>b</i> directions and single linker connections along the <i>c</i> axis, is shown to be key in the materials anisotropic response. The <i>a</i> and <i>b</i> directions remain locked during guest removal, while the <i>c</i> axis linker undergoes large changes significantly reducing the material’s void space. The changes to the <i>c</i> axis linker involve a combination of a hinge motion on the linker’s rigid side and conformational rearrangements on its flexible end, which were probed in detail during this process despite the presence of crystallographic disorder along this axis which prevented accurate characterisation by experimental methods alone. While inactive during guest removal, the flexible ends of the <i>a</i> and <i>b</i> axis linkers are observed to play a prominent role during DMF to DMSO solvent exchange, facilitating the exchange reaction arising in the cluster.</p>
