Considerable effort has been devoted to the synthesis and characterization of new crystalline nanosized porous materials, such as coordination polymers and inorganic zeolites, because of their versatile applicability to gas storage, molecular sieves, size-or shape-selective catalysis, and ion exchange.[1±7] For successful performance of these functions, robustness and stability of the porous frameworks are essential. In contrast, flexible host frameworks that respond to guest molecules, for example, induced-fit recognition between a protein and its substrate, have high selectivity for guest inclusion. Coordination polymers, in spite of their crystalline form, are suitable for creating flexible and dynamic porous frameworks, so-called third-generation compounds,[8] because the wide variety of architectures and topologies are based not only on coordinative bonds, but also on hydrogen bonds and/or π±π stacking, which are weaker than the SiÀO and AlÀO bonds in zeolites.[9±13] Hence, we focused on the preparation of two new types of flexible and dynamic nanoporous frameworks created by coordination polymers with interdigitation and interpenetration, and examined the gas-adsorption properties (CO2, CH4, O2, and N2) at high pressure and ambient temperature. Our strategy for functional coordination polymers that respond to guest molecules is to assemble rigid motifs with a degree of freedom in displacement to provide two types of integrated frameworks (Figure 1): framework A with mutually interdigitated two-dimensional (2D) motifs, and framework B with mutually interpenetrated three-dimensional (3D) motifs. Both the rigidity of a structural motif and a degree of freedom in displacement could give rise to flexibility of the whole framework and thus improve porous properties. A coordination polymer of typeA, namely,[Cu (dhbc) 2 (4, 4’-bpy)]¥ H2O (1a), was prepared from CuII nitrate, 2, 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (Hdhbc), and 4, 4’-bipyridine (4, 4’-bpy). The copper ions are connected by 4, 4’-bpy to produce straight chains, and linked by dhbc to give a 2D sheet motif (Figure 2a and b, respectively). The motif has interlocking ridges and hollows constructed by the dhbc benzene planes in an upright fashion. The distance of 3.443 ä between the planes of the nearest-neighbor dhbc ligands indicates the presence of π±π stacking interactions, and the motifs are mutually interdigitated to create 1D channels along the a axis with a cross section of 3.6 î4. 2 ä (Figure 2c), in which one water molecule is included per copper ion. The typeB coordination polymer 2 was obtained by using CuII, benzene-1, 4-dicarboxylate (bdc), and 4, 4’-bpy. Two-dimensional grid-type sheets composed of CuII and bdc are linked by 4, 4’-bpy to produce a 3D jungle-gym-like framework, similar to the structure of Prussian Blue. Two independent 3D structures interpenetrate each other to form a 3D framework with cylindrical channels with approximate dimensions of 3.4 î 3.4 ä along the c axis (Figure 3).[14] Thermogravimetric analysis of 1a shows the release of water molecules of crystallization with increasing temperature up to 1208C to give guest-free anhydrous 1b. No further weight loss was observed between 1208C and 1708C, that is, the guest-free phase is stable. Since the X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern of 1b (Figure 4) shows sharp diffraction peaks similar to those of 1a, the porous framework is largely maintained, even without water molecules. Detailed comparison of the two XRPD patterns reveals that only small shifts were observed for the peaks (010) and (100), which are attributed to the ac and bc planes, respectively. Therefore, the 2D layer motif is retained during …
