Porous crystals constructed from the assembly of organic linking units with metal ions or metal clusters are proving to be an exciting class of materials with unprecedented properties and high potential for use in applications such as catalysis,[1] gas storage,[2] and separations.[3] The underlying structure obtained from a given secondary building unit (SBU) with a multitopic ligand can be analyzed, at least with hindsight, as belonging to various nets.[4] In some cases this approach has led to well-defined series with preserved topologies whose members vary in metrics or functionalities.[5, 6] At the same time, it is clear that even a single linker with a given metal under the same reaction conditions can give rise to considerable structural diversity, as is illustrated by our recent application of polymer-induced heteronucleation to the discovery of three new phases based on the simple terephthalic acid linker/zinc nitrate system.[7] Perhaps one lesson to be learned is that there is currently no single structure-predicting design scheme but rather sets of empirically derived default behaviors that can often be used to rationalize the outcome of an experiment. In the case of employing two different linkers possessing the same coordinating functionality, experimental data are lacking, and there is no basis for answering even the most basic question of phase composition.[8]In broad terms we can expect two different behaviors in a crystalline mixed-linker coordination polymer. The default behavior for two components combined and allowed to crystallize is segregation; this behavior forms the basis of purification by crystallization. By contrast, the default behavior when monomers of similar reactivity are combined is random copolymerization. Therefore, it is interesting to contemplate whether in a porous crystal in which strong bonds reversibly assemble the framework, copolymerization patterns will dominate or if self-sorting crystallization will prevail. The former would represent an expeditious route to discover new porous solids. To investigate this question we undertook the synthesis of porous crystals based on two organic linkers of different topologies, namely, terephthalic
