Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The investigation of metal–organic frameworks is an emerging field in coordination, supramolecular and materials chemistry. A great potential in the development of selective adsorbents, catalysts, sensors, ion conducting and optoelectronic materials feeds the interest of many research groups around the world in this area. The strategies of green and low-cost synthesis are successfully applied to metal-organic frameworks and promise great industrial applications.

A wide tunability of the structure and composition of both inorganic and organic components unveils unlimited opportunities to design the properties, porosity and chemical affinity in MOFs. Therefore, a lot of effort has been made on the crystallization, structure determination and the analysis of synthesis–structure–property relationships in coordination polymers, and advanced characterization techniques such as synchrotron X-ray, magnetic resonance methods and in situ and operando studies are being extensively applied at the moment. Together with more traditional methods of characterization, crystal structure determination, sorption, luminescence and other techniques, all these approaches allow a deeper fundamental understanding of MOF behavior and properties aimed to their real applications.

Another important subfield in the chemistry of metal–organic frameworks is the preparation and characterization of MOF-based and MOF-derived materials. This is an efficient way to synthesize proton/ion conductors for energy applications, biocompatible materials for drug delivery and imaging and oxide/sulfide/carbon-based catalysts with the desirable morphology and activity. The shaping of adsorbents and optical materials into films or membranes is of great applied importance.

Running such Special Issue, we hope to comprehensively cover the area of metal-organic frameworks in huge diversity of aspects from the synthesis and crystal structure determination to the investigation of multicomponent and multifunctional materials which can obviously be obtained using the approaches from MOF chemistry. Therefore, we will be genuinely glad to see your novel important ideas and achievements in the area of your and our common creative interest published in this SI.

Abstract
Four new rare-earth metal–organic frameworks containing thieno[3,2b]thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate (ttdc2−) with general formulae [M2(DMF)4(ttdc)3] (M3+ = Y3+ for 1, La3+ for 2, Tb3+ for 3) and [M2(H2 [...] Read more.
Four new rare-earth metal–organic frameworks containing thieno[3,2b]thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate (ttdc2−) with general formulae [M2(DMF)4(ttdc)3] (M3+ = Y3+ for 1, La3+ for 2, Tb3+ for 3) and [M2(H2O)2(ttdc)3] (M3+ = Lu3+ for 4) were synthesized. Their crystal structures were determined by performing a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Coordination polymers 1–3 are based on the binuclear metal-carboxylate building units with the formulae {M2(DMF)4(OOCR)6}. The six-connected blocks in 1–3 form a three-dimensional network with the primitive cubic (pcu) topology. Coordination framework 4 is based on chains comprised by stretched pseudo-binuclear metal-carboxylate building units. The chains are interconnected in four directions with ttdc2− linkers forming the 3D framework. The luminescent properties were studied for the synthesized frameworks in the solid state. All the coordination frameworks show a broad blue emission band (λex = 380 nm) typical for intra-ligand electron transitions. The sensing properties of 3 dispersions in solutions were investigated in detail and the luminescent response (quenching) was discovered in the presence of cinnamaldehyde and quinoline in diluted solutions at concentrations of as low as 4 × 10−1 vol.% and 4 × 10−2 vol.% (~3 × 10−3 M), respectively.

Laser interference patterning on top of a thin film and inside a crystal is a powerful tool today to create the desired patterns for optical data processing. Here, we demonstrate reversible and irreversible laser interference patterning on a metal-organic framework (MOF) thin film through the water desorption and thermal decomposition processes, respectively. The irreversible interference pattern with a period of the strips of up to 5 µm has been realized, and its morphology has been characterized using confocal Raman and reflection spectroscopy as well as atomic force microscopy. We revealed that reducing the distance between the interference maxima from 10.5 to a record of 5 µm for MOFs yields a 10-fold increase in the surface roughness of the irreversible pattern; on the other hand, the reversible laser pattern provides a completely non-destructive effect of variable optical contrast. The experimental results obtained open up prospects for the use of MOF crystals as photosensitive materials in the template drawing of the desired patterns for different application scopes.
