Directing the Morphology, Packing, and Properties of Chiral Metal–Organic Frameworks by Cation Exchange

We show that metal–organic frameworks, based on tetrahedral pyridyl ligands, can be used as a morphological and structural template to form a series of isostructural crystals having different metal ions and properties. An iterative crystal‐to‐crystal conversion has been demonstrated by consecutive c...

Sumario:We show that metal–organic frameworks, based on tetrahedral pyridyl ligands, can be used as a morphological and structural template to form a series of isostructural crystals having different metal ions and properties. An iterative crystal‐to‐crystal conversion has been demonstrated by consecutive cation exchanges. The primary manganese‐based crystals are characterized by an uncommon space group (P622). The packing includes chiral channels that can mediate the cation exchange, as indicated by energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy on microtome‐sectioned crystals. The observed cation exchange is in excellent agreement with the Irving–Williams series (Mn<Fe<Co<Ni< Cu>Zn) associated with the relative stability of the resulting coordination nodes. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the metal cation controls the optical and magnetic properties. The crystals maintain their morphology, allowing a quantitative comparison of their properties at both the ensemble and single‐crystal level.
