Abstract

Like a sponge: Soft, three-dimensional, porous coordination frameworks {[Ln(tci)⋅H2O]⋅4 H2O}n (Ln=Ce, Gd; tciH3=tris(2-carboxyethyl)isocyanurate] were prepared from Ln(NO3)3⋅x H2O and tciH3. The flexible arms and secondary functional groups of the ligand allow the framework to show spongelike dynamic behavior such as selective and stepwise adsorption, associated with single crystal to single crystal structural transformation (see scheme).
