Tailoring polymer-metal-organic frameworks (polyMOFs) using telechelic poly(octenamer)s.

ABSTRACT: Polymer-metal-organic frameworks (polyMOFs) represent an unusual class of polymer-MOF hybrids, but inadequate methods for designing and tailoring their underlying polymeric building blocks have been a limitation of these systems. Previous efforts in designing polyMOFs using random copoly(pentenamer)s resulted in a rather limited loading (30%) of benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (H₂bdc; a.k.a, terephthalic acid) derived monomers into the polymer ligand. In this context, this study employs poly(octenamer)s that allowed for 100% incorporation of H₂bdc containing monomers. This was achieved by homopolymerising a new H₂bdc-tagged cyclooctene derivative through a controlled olefin-metathesis polymerisation in the presence of acyclic olefins as chain-transfer agents
