The carbohydrate recognition properties of synthetic tripodal receptors relying on H-bonding interactions have highlighted the crucial role played by the functional groups matching saccharidic hydroxyls. Herein, pyrrole and pyridine, which emerged as two of the most effective H-bonding groups, were quantitatively compared through their isostructural substitution within the architecture of a shape-persistent bicyclic cage receptor. NMR and ITC binding studies gave for the pyrrolic receptor a 20-fold larger affinity toward octyl-β-d-glucopyranoside in CDCl(3), demonstrating the superior recognition properties of pyrrole under conditions in which differences would depend on the intrinsic binding ability of the two groups. The three-dimensional structures of the two glucoside complexes in solution were elucidated by combined NMR and molecular mechanics computational techniques, showing that the origin of the stability difference between the two closely similar complex structures resides in the ability of pyrrole to establish shorter/stronger H-bonds with the glucosidic ligand compared to pyridine.

A novel hydrazone-linked covalent organic framework (TRIPOD-DHTH COF) was synthesized through the ultrasonic treatment of 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalohydrazide (DHTH) and 4,4',4''-[1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyltris(oxy)]tris-benzaldehyde (TRIPOD). The COF was extensively analyzed using FT-IR, PXRD, SEM, TEM, BET, XPS, TGA, and DTA techniques. The characterization studies revealed the presence of mesoporous properties and high thermal stability, with a surface area measuring 2.

Article Synopsis
- Cluster-based spin crossover (SCO) frameworks are innovative metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that exhibit unique properties and diverse structures.
- The study highlights the synthesis of a specific SCO framework [Fe3{Ag4(CN)6(H2O)}2(TPBA)3](ClO4)2·7DMF (1) featuring a rare topology and a complex network composed of metal clusters and Fe2+ ions.
- Additionally, the research demonstrates effective post-synthetic modifications that allow transformation between different topologies while retaining their spin crossover behaviors, paving the way for advanced smart porous materials.

ConspectusRigid-rod oligomers and polymers are mostly based on (hetero)aromatic rings connected with each other, either directly or via ethynylene or butadiynylene linkers, or by a combination of both structural elements. Although they are much more rigid than vinyl polymers, they exhibit considerable structural flexibility, often more than would be expected merely from their chemical structure. This disparity holds for both linear as well as for cyclic structures.

Historically, the archetype of this cluster class, namely [Fe(μ-C)(μ-CO)(CO)], can be prepared on a gram-scale but is resistant to simple ligand substitution reactions. This limitation has precluded the relevance of iron-carbide clusters relating to organometallics, catalysis and the nitrogenase active site cluster.
