Abstract
Abstract Incorporating soft and dynamic elements into crystalline porous materials with hard and static structures can be of immense utility. To this end, herein, the design of functional porous materials and their dynamic properties are described. Dynamic molecular elements were incorporated in porous coordination polymers (PCPs)/metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to realize responsive and high-performance porous systems. The dynamic nature of the PCPs/MOFs was directly visualized in real-time via atomic-force microscopy. Additionally, by combining the concepts of soft matter dynamics and porous material chemistry, a new class of porous materials, possessing both fluidity and porosity, could be fabricated. By focusing on the dynamic properties of materials, functional nanoporous systems could be designed, leading to the development of next-generation porous materials.
