Rectangular channels of 5.7 5.7 2 run along the c direction. At 296 K, the naphthalene ring of the dicarboxylate ion is disordered over four positions (Figure 3b). Even though the naphthalene ring in 2 is larger than the pyrazine ring in 1, there is enough void space in the framework of 2 for rotation about the C1–C4 axis of the naphthalene ring. We synthesized partially deuterated 2 (2d) by using [D6] 1, 4-naphthalenedicarboxylate and confirmed that the topology of the framework is identical to that of 2 by XRD (see Supporting Information). The 2HNMR spectra for anhydrous 2d at 193–293 K each consist of a superposition of three Pake doublets with different quadrupole coupling constants (see Supporting Information), which arise from the three types of deuterium atoms of the naphthalene ring. The spectra are temperature-dependent below 223K, and we carried out simulations for the spectra recorded at 203–223 K. In these simulations, we modeled the motion of the naphthalene rings as a four-site flip between orientations at angles of0, 70, 180, and 2508 about the C1–C4 axis (based on the disordered structure of 2). Rotation rates ranging from 3.0 106 sÀ1 at 203 K to 5 107 sÀ1 at 223 K were determined from the fitting. Although the mode of motion in 2 is the same as that in 1, the activation energy of 53 kJ molÀ1 of 2, determined from an Arrhenius plot, is approximately six times larger than that of 1, because of differences in packing and in the size of the mobile group.The sorption isotherm for benzene on 2 was measured at 298 K (see Supporting Information). The isotherm displays a Type I profile, indicative of a typical physisorption process for a microporous compound. The maximum amount of benzene adsorbed is only 3 molecules per pore (100 mLgÀ1). Considering the van der Waals volume of the benzene molecule (ca. 89 3),[13] the volume occupied by the benzene molecules in the pore is 3 89= 267 3. However, the total volume of the potential solvent area in the disordered structure of 2 is 195 3 per pore, as calculated using the PLATON program.[14] This value is smaller than the volume of 3 benzene molecules, suggesting that the molecules are densely adsorbed inside the pores. Thus, the benzene molecules could interfere with the free rotation of the naphthalene rings about their C1–C4 axes. The 2HNMR spectra of 2d after benzene adsorption (2d'C6H6) recorded at 193–293 K (see Supporting Information) are drastically different from those of anhydrous 2d. Over the whole temperature range, peaks with a frequency separation of 126 kHz are observed. The associated rate of less than 103 sÀ1 corresponds to the slow-exchange or static limit. Thus, the rotational motion of 2d'C6H6 is immediately decelerated by guest adsorption. After desorption of the benzene molecules, the four-site rotation of the naphthalene rings in 2d restarts. Therefore, the rotational behavior is reversible by guest adsorption/desorption (Figure 4a). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of 2'C6H6 shows a gradual weight loss corresponding to the loss of nearly 3 benzene molecules per pore (observed 24.1%, calculated 25.9%) over 25–1508C, without any clear steps (see Supporting Information). However, in the heating cycle of the DSC curve of 2'C6H6 over 25–1508C, a sharp endothermic transition with an enthalpy of 4.32 kJmolÀ1 is observed at
