Large breathing effect induced by water sorption in a remarkably stable nonporous cyanide-bridged coordination polymer.

ABSTRACT: While metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are at the forefront of cutting-edge porous materials, extraordinary sorption properties can also be observed in Prussian Blue Analogs (PBAs) and related materials comprising extremely short bridging ligands. Herein, we present a bimetallic nonporous cyanide-bridged coordination polymer (CP) {[Mn(imH)]₂[Mo(CN)₈]} _n (1Mn; imH = imidazole) that can efficiently and reversibly capture and release water molecules over tens of cycles without any fatigue despite being based on one of the shortest bridging ligands known - the cyanide. The sorption performance of {[Mn(imH)]₂[Mo(CN)₈]} _n matches or even outperforms MOFs that are typically selected for water harvesting applicat
