A rare example of in situ linker generation with the formation of soft porous Zn- and Co-MOFs (IFP-9 and -10, respectively) is reported. The flexible ethoxy groups of IFP-9 and -10 protrude into the 1D hexagonal channels. The gas-sorption behavior of both materials for H2, CO2 and CH4 showed wide hysteretic isotherms, typical for MOFs having a flexible substituent which can give rise to a gate effect.
A Co(II)–imidazolate-4-amide-5-imidate based MOF, IFP-5, is synthesized by using an imidazolate anion-based novel ionic liquid as a linker precursor under solvothermal conditions. IFP-5 shows significant amounts of gas (N2, CO2, CH4 and H2) uptake capacities. IFP-5 exhibits an independent high spin Co(II) centre and antiferromagnetic coupling.

An extended member of the isoreticular family of metal-imidazolate framework structures, IFP-6 (IFP=imidazolate framework Potsdam), based on cadmium metal and an in situ functionalized 2-methylimidazolate-4-amide-5-imidate linker is reported. A porous 3D framework with 1D hexagonal channels with accessible pore windows of 0.52nm has been synthesized by using an ionic liquid (IL) linker precursor. IFP-6 shows significant gas uptake capacity only for CO2 and CH4 at elevated pressure, whereas it does not adsorb N-2, H-2, and CH4 under atmospheric conditions. IFP-6 is assumed to deteriorate at the outside of the material during the activation process. This closing of the metal-organic framework (MOF) pores is proven by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS), which revealed inherent crystal defects. PALS results support the conservation of the inner pores of IFP-6. IFP-6 has also been successfully loaded with luminescent trivalent lanthanide ions (Ln(III)=Tb, Eu, and Sm) in a bottom-up one-pot reaction through the in situ generation of the linker ligand and in situ incorporation of photoluminescent Ln ions into the constituting network. The results of photoluminescence investigations and powder XRD provide evidence that the Ln ions are not doped as connectivity centers into the frameworks, but are instead located within the pores of the MOFs. Under UV light irradiation, Tb@IFP-6 and Eu@IFP-6 ((exc)=365nm) exhibit observable emission changes to a greenish and reddish color, respectively, as a result of strong Ln 4f emissions.
Thirty six novel ionic liquids (ILs) with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium and 3-methyl-1-octylimidazolium cations paired with 2-substitited 4,5-dicyanoimidazolate anions (substituent at C2=chloro, bromo, methoxy, vinyl, amino, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl and phenyl) have been synthesized and characterized by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The effects of cation and anion type and structure on the thermal properties of the resulting ionic liquids, including several room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are examined and discussed. ILs exhibited large liquid and crystallization ranges and formed glasses on cooling with glass transition temperatures in the range of -22 to -68 degrees C. The effects of alkyl substituents of the imidazolate anion reflected the crystallization, melting points and thermal decomposition of the ILs. The Coulombic packing force, van der Waals forces and size of the anions can be considered for altering the thermal transitions. Three crystal structures of the ILs were determined and the effects of changes to the cations and anions on the packing of the structure were investigated.
Cadmium(II) based 2D coordination polymer [Cd(L1)(2)(DMF)(2)] (1) (L1 = 4,5-dicyano-2-methylimidazolate, DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide) and 2D cobalt(II)-imidazolate framework [Co(L3)(4)] (2) (L3 = 4,5-diamide-2-ethoxyimidazolate) were synthesized under solvothermal reaction conditions. The materials were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction measurement (PXRD) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 has hexacoordinate Cd-II ions and forms a zigzag chain-like coordination polymer structure, whereas compound 2 exhibits a 2D square grid type structure. The thermal stability analysis reveals that 2 showed an exceptional thermal stability up to 360 degrees C. Also, 2 maintained its fully crystalline integrity in boiling water as confirmed by PXRD. The solid state luminescent property of 1 was not observed at room temperature. Compound 2 showed an independent high spin central Co-II atom.
In situ imidazolate-4,5-diamide-2-olate linker generation leads to the formation of a [Zn-14(L2)(12)(O)-(OH)(2)(H2O)(4)] molecular building block (MBB) with a Zn-6 octahedron inscribed in a Zn-8 cube. The MBBs connect by amide-amide hydrogen bonds to a 3D robust supramolecular network which can be activated for N-2, CO2, CH4, and H-2 gas sorption.

The separation of ethane/ethene mixtures (as well as other paraffin/olefin mixtures) is one of the most important but challenging processes in the petrochemical industry. In this work, we report the synthesis of ZIF-318, isostructural to ZIF-8 but built from the mixed linkers of 2-methylimidazole (L1) and 2-trifluoromethylimidazole (L2) (ZIF-318 = [(Zn(L1)(L2)](n)). The synthesis has been optimized to proceed without ZnO-formation. Using only the L2 linker under solvothermal conditions afforded ZnO-embedded in the H-bonded and non-porous coordination polymer ZnO@[Zn-2(L2)(2)(HCOO)(OH)](n). The slight differences in the size of the substituents (-CH3 vs. -CF3) possibly in combination with different electronic inductive effects led to small but significant changes to the pore size and properties respectively, though the effective pore opening (aperture) size of ZIF-318 remained the same in comparison with ZIF-8. ZIF-318 is chemically (boiling water, methanol, benzene, and wide pH range at room temperature for 1 day), thermally (up to 310 degrees C) stable, and more hydrophobic than ZIF-8 which is proven by contact angle measurement. ZIF-318 can be activated for N-2, CO2, CH4, H-2, ethane, ethane, propane, and propene gases sorptions. Consequently, in breakthrough experiments, the ethane/ethene mixtures can be separated.
By varying reaction parameters for the syntheses of the hydrogen-bonded metal-imidazolate frameworks (HIF) HIF-1 and HIF-2 (featuring 14 Zn and 14 Co atoms, respectively) to increase their yields and crystallinity, we found that HIF-1 is generated in two different frameworks, named as HIF-1a and HIF-1b. HIF-1b is isostructural to HIF-2. We determined the gas sorption and magnetic properties of HIF-2. In comparison to HIF-1a (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 471m(2) g(-1)), HIF-2 possesses overall very low gas sorption uptake capacities [BET(CO2) surface area=85m(2) g(-1)]. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement of HIF-2 showed antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the cobalt(II) high-spin centres at lower temperature. Theoretical analysis by density functional theory confirmed this finding. The UV/Vis-reflection spectra of HIF-1 (mixture of HIF-1a and b), HIF-2 and HIF-3 (with 14 Cd atoms) were measured and showed a characteristic absorption band centered at 340nm, which was indicative for differences in the imidazolate framework.
