Abstract

Solvent-assisted linker exchange (SALE) was performed on a pillared-paddlewheel metal-organic framework (MOF), SALEM-5, to achieve incorporation of longer linkers into the material. The 9-Å meso-1,2-di(4-pyridyl)-1,2-ethanediol pillar of SALEM-5 was successfully replaced by 11-Å, 14-Å, and 17-Å pillars to generate daughter MOFs SALEM-6, SALEM-7, and SALEM-8. The daughter frameworks possess more open cages, as was demonstrated by structural modeling from the powder X-ray diffraction patterns, and larger solvent accessible space, as was demonstrated by thermogravimetric analysis. Finally, a study was performed to examine the effect of pKa of monoprotonated dipyridyl pillars (as an indicator of the Zn-L bond strength) on the outcome of SALE.
