Parallel-stacked aromatic molecules in hydrogen-bonded inorganic frameworks.

ABSTRACT: By precisely constructing molecules and assembling these into well-defined supramolecular structures, novel physical properties and functionalities can be realized, and new areas of the chemical space can be accessed. In both materials science and biology, a deeper understanding of the properties and exploitation of the reversible character of weak bonds and interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions, is anticipated to lead to the development of materials with novel properties and functionalities. We apply the hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) strategy to inorganic materials science using the cubic octamer of orthosilicic acid, [Si₈O₁₂][OH]₈, as a building block, and find that various types of hydrogen-bonded inorganic frameworks (HIF
