Abstract

Supramolecular framework (SF) encourages the emergence of porous structures with molecular flexibility while the dimension and morphology controls are less involved even though critical factors are vital for various utilizations. Targeting this purpose, two isolated components are designed and their stepped combinations via ionic interaction, metal coordination, and hydrogen bond into framework assembly with two morphologic states are realized. The zinc coordination to an ionic complex of polyoxometalate with three cationic terpyridine ligands constructs 2D hexagonal SF structure. A further growth along perpendicular direction driven by hydrogen bonding between grafted mannose groups leads to 3D SF assemblies, providing a modulation superiority in one framework for multiple utilizations. The large area of multilayered SF sheet affords a filtration membrane for strict separation of nanoparticles/proteins under gently reduced pressures while the granular SF assembly demonstrates an efficient carrier to load and fix horse radish peroxidase with maintained activity for enzymatic catalysis.
