Mechanistic Insights into Solvent-Mediated Halide-Specific Irreversible Transformation of Cu-MOF with Iodide Detection Capability.

ABSTRACT: The fascinating feature of metal-organic frameworks is that they can respond to external stimuli, unlike other inorganic materials. This feature corresponds to the framework's flexibility, which originates with the long-range crystalline order of the framework accompanied by cooperative structural transformability. We have synthesized a novel metal-organic framework comprised of Cu(I) nodes with pyrazine linkers and benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate acting as template anions, named CUCAM-1 [Cu(Py)₂(BTC)]_n. In the presence of polar solvent systems, CUCAM-1 undergoes an irreversible structural transformation to yield a mixed phase that consists of HKUST-1 [Cu₃(BTC)₂(H₂O)₃]_n and another CUCAM-2 [Cu(Py)(BTC)]_n M
