The achiral 1,1'-biphenyl-2,2',6,6'-tetracarboxylic acid as well as its 4,4'-dibromo and 4,4'-dinitro derivative self-assemble in crystal under formation of a two-dimensional grid set up from hydrogen-bonded cyclotetrameric compartments which are individually chiral (D4 symmetry). The roughly square cavities (ca 5.6 Å) of individual compartments partly accommodate the perpendicularly oriented benzene rings of the neighbouring grid, in dependence on the nature of the 4,4'-substituents. As a consequence, the grids are stacked in a staggered (nonconcatenated) manner.

A new three dimensional hydrogen bonded cobalt frame work from [Co(nicotinamide)2(thiocyanate)2(H2O)2] was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, magnetism ,TGA and IR spectroscopy. The compound crystallizes in Triclinic space group P-1 with a = 7.5475(19), b = 8.054(2), c =8.932(2). Alpha=73.347(4), beta=70.067(4), gamma=66.559(4) with space group P-1 Z = 1, 'C14 H16 N6 Co O4 S2', Mr =455.38, F(000) = 233 and μ(MoKα) =0.71073 mm-1. The final R = 0.0497 and wR = 0.1461 for 4185 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I) and R = 0.0721 and wR = 0.1619 for all data. X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that Co(1) is linked by the nicotinamide ligands to form the ladder shape along the c axis, which is further extended into two-dimensional networks via the joint of Co(2) along the a axis. Moreover, these two dimensional motifs are interconnected by the thiocyanate S...H bridges to form a complicated 3-D polymeric framework. The magnetic susceptibility data at 1000Oe external field in the temperature range 2-300 K obeys the Curie-Weiss law, giving θ = -24.12 K and C =2.43  thus indicating a dominant strong antiferromagnetic interaction and/or spin orbital coupling between the Co (II) ions.

Two products from the proton-transfer reactions of benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid (pyromellitic acid, PMA) with 2,2′-biimidazole and 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, namely 2,2′-biimidazole-3,3′-diium 2,5-dicarboxybenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate, C6H8N42+,C10H4O82−, (I), and 4-methyl-2-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)pyridinium 2,4,5-tricarboxybenzoate monohydrate, C12H13N2+·C10H5O8−·H2O, (II), have been prepared and their structures determined. Both compounds crystallize in the space groupP\overline{1}. The asymmetric unit of (I) is composed of two independent ion pairs. Both the 2,2′-biimidazole-3,3′-diium dication and the PMA2−anion are located on special positions (inversion centres). The protonated 2,2′-biimidazole-3,3′-diium ring H atoms are involved in hydrogen bonding with carboxylate O atoms to form one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chain structures. Adjacent chains are further linkedviacarboxyl–carboxyl O—H...O hydrogen bonding, resulting in a two-dimensional supramolecular sheet with theR65(34) motif extending in the (1\overline{2}1) plane. In (II), classical O—H...O hydrogen-bond-linked anion–anion units are extended into a one-dimensional chain running parallel to the [100] direction, giving anR22(8)R44(30) motif. The chains are connected by water–carboxyl O—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a two-dimensional network parallel to the (01\overline{1}) plane. The 4-methyl-2-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)pyridinium cations lie between the two-dimensional supramolecular layers linkedviaN—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions.

Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are a diverse and tunable class of materials, but their potential as free-standing two-dimensional nanomaterials has yet to be explored. Here we report the self-assembly of two layered hydrogen-bonded frameworks based on strong, charge-assisted hydrogen-bonding between carboxylate and amidinium groups. Ultrasound-assisted liquid exfoliation of both materials readily produces monolayer hydrogen-bonded organic nanosheets (HONs) with micron-sized lateral dimensions. The HONs show remarkable stability and maintain their extended crystallinity and monolayer structures even after being suspended in water at 80 °C for three days. These systems also exhibit efficient fluorescence quenching of an organic dye in organic solvents, superior to the quenching ability of the bulk frameworks. We anticipate that this approach will provide a route towards a diverse new family of molecular two-dimensional materials with great potential for use in separation, sensing, catalysis, delivery, and electronics materials applications.

AbstractOwing to its simple preparation and high oxygen content, nitroformate [−C(NO2)3, NF] is an extremely attractive oxidant component for propellants and explosives. However, the poor thermostability of NF-based derivatives has been an unconquerable barrier for more than 150 years, thus hindering its application. In this study, the first example of a nitrogen-rich hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF-NF) is designed and constructed through self-assembly in energetic materials, in which NF anions are trapped in pores of the resulting framework via the dual force of ionic and hydrogen bonds from the strengthened framework. These factors lead to the decomposition temperature of the resulting HOF-NF moiety being 200 °C, which exceeds the challenge of thermal stability over 180 °C for the first time among NF-based compounds. A large number of NF-based compounds with high stabilities and excellent properties can be designed and synthesized on the basis of this work.
