Temperature-Dependent Superhydrophobic Functionalized Coordination Polymers (SFCPs) for Selective Adsorption of CH over CH.

We prepared two new superhydrophobic functionalized coordination polymers (SFCPs) [Zn(OH)(BTMB)(4,4'-Bipy)] ⊃ solvent, , and [Cd(OH)(BTMB)(4,4'-Bipy)] ⊃ solvent, , by solvothermal methods. For , the single-crystal XRD structure revealed that it contains two crystallographically distinct ions with two different types of coordination geometries of and , exhibiting a unique superhydrophobic behavior with microporosity. Compound exhibits superhydrophobicity with a contact angle of 155.

Temperature-Stable Compelled Composite Superhydrophobic Porous Coordination Polymers Achieved via an Unattainable de Novo Synthetic Method.

We demonstrate a new de novo synthetic methodology to achieve high-temperature-stable compelled composite superhydrophobic porous coordination polymers (PCPs). These new PCPs were achieved based on coordination capabilities of first-row transition metal ions such as Co, Ni, and Zn. The obtained composite PCPs containing a [ZnMO] (M = Co or Ni) bimetallic cluster core with open metal sites (OMSs) exhibited distinct isosteric heats of adsorption and surface areas due to the difference in their open metal Lewis acidic sites of solvent-free state.

A Dense IO Hybrid Superhydrophobic Network, Pb(H-BTMB), Exhibits Selectivity toward CO Gas Sorption.

We achieved a dense IO hybrid superhydrophobic porous coordination polymer (PCP), [Pb(H-BTMB)(DMF)] (1), by solvothermal methods. The single-crystal XRD structure of 1 indicated that it has a three-dimensional M-L-M framework with one-dimensional M-O-M connectivity leading to an IO network. The new PCP obtained exhibited open metal sites (OMSs) by losing a coordinated DMF molecule.
