Fine Tuning the Hydrophobicity of a New Three-Dimensional Cu²⁺ MOF through Single Crystal Coordinating Ligand Exchange Transformations.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis, characterization, and single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) exchange reactions of a new 3D Cu²⁺ MOF based on 5-aminoisophthalic acid (H₂AIP), [Cu₆(μ₃-ΟΗ)₃(ΑΙΡ)₄(HΑΙΡ)]_n·6nDMF·nH₂O - UCY-16·6nDMF·nH₂O, are reported. It exhibits a 3D structure based on two [Cu₄(μ₃-OH)₂]⁶⁺ butterfly-like secondary building units, differing in their peripheral ligation, bridged through HAIP^-/AIP^2- ligands. This compound displays the capability to exchange the coordinating ligand(s) and/or guest solvent molecules through SCSC reactions. Interestingly, heterogeneous reactions of single crysta
