A porous metal-organic framework with helical chain building units exhibiting facile transition from micro- to meso-porosity. uri icon

abstract

  • A metal-organic framework (MOF) with helical channels has been constructed by bridging helical chain secondary building units with 2,6-di-p-carboxyphenyl-4,4'-bipyridine ligands. The activated MOF shows permanent porosity and gas adsorption selectivity. Remarkably, the MOF exhibits a facile transition from micro- to meso-porosity.
