A stimuli responsive 3D Metal-Organic Framework - How does it work?

Описание: The flexibility and unexpected dynamic behavior of a third generation MOF is described for the first time. The synthetic strategy is based on the flexibility and spherical shape of dipyridyl based carborane linkers that act as pillars between rigid layers, providing a 3D porous structure. By manipulating the host-guest interactions between different solvents and the porous 3D structure , a phase transition of the solid can be induced to generate a new, non-porous 2D structure.
