In this work, we introduce the first enantiopure bistriazolate-based metal-organic framework, CFA-18 (Coordination Framework Augsburg-18), built from the R-enantiomer of 7,7,7',7'-tetramethyl-6,6',7,7'-tetrahydro-3H,3'H-5,5'-spirobi[indeno[5,6-d]-[1,2,3]triazole] (H2-spirta). The enantiopurity and absolute configuration of the new linker were confirmed by several chiroselective methods. Reacting H2-spirta in hot N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with manganese(ii) chloride gave CFA-18 as colorless crystals. The crystal structure with the composition [Mn2Cl2(spirta)(DMF)2] was solved using synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction. CFA-18 shows a framework topology that is closely related to previously reported metal-azolate framework (MAF) structures in which the octahedrally coordinated manganese(ii) ions are triazolate moieties, and the chloride anions form crosslinked one-dimensional helical chains, giving rise to hexagonal channels. In contrast to MAFs crystallizing in the centrosymmetric space group R3[combining macron], the handedness of the helices found in CFA-18 is strictly uniform, leading to a homochiral framework that crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system within the chiral space group P3121 (no. 152).

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be prepared from oligomeric organic ligands to prepare materials referred to as oligoMOFs. Studies of oligoMOFs are relatively limited, with most existing reports focused on fundamental structure-property relationships. In this report, functional groups, such as terminal alkynes and pyridine groups, are installed on the tether between 1,4-benzene dicarboxylic acid (Hbdc) groups of the dimer ligands.

Half-metallicity, enabling 100% spin polarization, is pivotal for spintronics but remains challenging to achieve in low-dimensional materials. Using first-principles calculations, we theoretically propose an experimentally feasible two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) magnetic semiconductor, Cr(TCNB) (TCNB = 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene). This monolayer can be exfoliated from a Ag(100) substrate due to its low exfoliation energy of 0.

Polymer electrolytes incorporated with fillers possess immense potential for constructing the fast and selective Li conduction. However, the inhomogeneous distribution of the fillers usually deteriorates the microdomain consistency of the electrolytes, resulting in uneven Li flux, and unstable electrode-electrolyte interfaces. Herein, we formulate a solution-process chemistry to in situ construct gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) with well-dispersed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), leading to a uniform microdomain structure.

Porphyrins bearing the unique 18π electron tetrapyrrolic macrocycles exhibit interesting photophysical and photochemical properties and have been considered as promising ligands for the construction of functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The combination of porphyrin-type ligands with lanthanide metals featured with diverse coordination environments to realize the novel functions as well as the diversity of the MOF is thus attractive but challenging. Herein, an unprecedented porphyrin-based samarium MOF (Sm-BCPP) composed of a 5,10-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)-10,20-diphenyl porphyrin (HBCPP) ligand and samarium-formed one-dimensional clusters has been constructed via a solvothermal approach, and the synthesized Sm-BCPP has excellent chemical stabilities, exhibiting red luminescence.
