The use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) so far has largely relied on nonspecific binding interactions to host small mol. guests. The authors used long organic struts (2̃ nm) incorporating 34- and 36-membered macrocyclic polyethers as recognition modules in the construction of several crystalline primitive cubic frameworks that engage in specific binding in a way not observed in passive, open reticulated geometries. MOF-1001 is capable of docking paraquat dication (PQT2+) guests within the macrocycles in a stereoelectronically controlled fashion. This act of specific complexation yields quant. the corresponding MOF-1001 pseudorotaxanes, as confirmed by x-ray diffraction and by solid- and solution-state NMR spectroscopic studies performed on MOF-1001, its pseudorotaxanes, and their mol. strut precursors. A control experiment involving the attempted inclusion of PQT2+ inside a framework (MOF-177) devoid of polyether struts showed negligible uptake of PQT2+, indicating the importance of the macrocyclic polyether in PQT2+ docking. In the experimental materials used by the author, we found 1,4-Diethynyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene(cas: 74029-40-6SDS of cas: 74029-40-6)
1,4-Diethynyl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene(cas: 74029-40-6) belongs to ethers.The C-O bonds that comprise simple ethers are strong. SDS of cas: 74029-40-6 They are unreactive toward all but the strongest bases. Although generally of low chemical reactivity, they are more reactive than alkanes.
