Ed. 2006, 45, 4932–4936 characteristic of metal–organic species.[5] Dynamic pores could come from a sort of “soft” framework with multistability, whose states go back and forth between two counterparts; or a system could exist in one or two states for the same values of external field parameters. The structural rearrangement of the host framework in response to guest molecules proceeds from the “open” phase to the “closed” phase. The MOMMs could also be a unique class of materials with characteristics unlike those of rigid porous materials. While sorption profiles of MOMMs with saturated amounts of guests have been well characterized so far,[6] their intermediate profiles are still unknown. It is important to determine how guest molecules are recognized and finally confined by nanopores. An in-depth understanding of the intermediate state provides us with a feasible design for a porous framework which changes its structure into one well suited to a desired guest molecules and results in an efficient accommodation system. Therefore, fundamental structural information on not only the host framework but also the guest molecules is required throughout adsorption phenomena. X-ray diffraction is one of the most powerful methods that can directly provide structural information on the adsorbed molecules. Herein we report the structure analysis of an intermediate phase in the process of gas adsorption in the nanochannels of an MOMM by in situ synchrotron powder diffraction.Previously,[2] we reported adsorption of acetylene gas on CPL-1 (coordination polymer 1 with pillared-layer structure: Cu2 (pzdc) 2 (pyz) where pzdc is pyrazine-2, 3-dicarboxylate and pyz is pyrazine).[7] From accurate structural analysis, acetylene molecules were found to be trapped by forming double hydrogen bonds with uncoordinated carboxylate oxygen atoms. In situ powder diffraction patterns for gas adsorption between the anhydrous hollow phase (phaseI) and the saturated adsorbed phase (phase S) revealed another phase mixed with phase S. It was also observed in the desorption process. The acetylene gas adsorption isotherm for CPL-1 at 270 K shows a steep rise in the very low pressure region and reaches saturation. During the rise, a step is evident at about 0.7 molecules per unit pore. These data suggest the existence of an intermediate phase of adsorption, which we call intermediate phaseM. In the diffraction patterns for an acetylene gas pressure of 10 kPa reported previously,[2] phases S and M are mixed. By careful adjustment of both temperature and gas pressure, we succeeded in obtaining phase M as a single phase. Figure 1 shows the temperature dependence of the diffraction patterns of CPL-1 with acetylene under a constant gas pressure of 150 kPa. The sample was cooled from 390 K. The change in diffraction pattern at 360 K indicates that acetylene adsorption has started. Subsequently, another phase, assigned as phaseS, appeared below 360K. The peak intensities of phase M gradually decreased and those of phase S increased. The diffraction pattern at 360K for single phaseM was analyzed.
