Description:
We report a strategy to expand the pore aperture of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into a previously unattained size regime (〉32 angstroms). Specifically, the systematic expansion of a well-known MOF structure, MOF-74, from its original link of one phenylene ring (I) to two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, and eleven (II to XI, respectively), afforded an isoreticular series of MOF-74 structures (termed IRMOF-74-I to XI) with pore apertures ranging from 14 to 98 angstroms. All members of this series have noninterpenetrating structures and exhibit robust architectures, as evidenced by their permanent porosity and high thermal stability (up to 300 degrees C). The pore apertures of an oligoethylene glycol-functionalized IRMOF-74-VII and IRMOF-74-IX are large enough for natural proteins to enter the pores.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Deng, Hexiang -- Grunder, Sergio -- Cordova, Kyle E -- Valente, Cory -- Furukawa, Hiroyasu -- Hmadeh, Mohamad -- Gandara, Felipe -- Whalley, Adam C -- Liu, Zheng -- Asahina, Shunsuke -- Kazumori, Hiroyoshi -- O'Keeffe, Michael -- Terasaki, Osamu -- Stoddart, J Fraser -- Yaghi, Omar M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 May 25;336(6084):1018-23. doi: 10.1126/science.1220131.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Center for Reticular Chemistry, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)-US Department of Energy (DOE) Institute for Genomics and Proteomics, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22628651" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
