Abstract

Summary of main observation and conclusionA synergistically directed assembly approach to distinctive metal‐organic frameworks utilizing both donor‐acceptor (D‐A) interaction from aromatic systems and coordination interactions is presented. Based on such an approach, the coronene‐tpt (tpt = 2,4,6‐tri(4‐pyridyl)‐1,3,5‐triazine) stacks based coronene‐MOF‐1—4 have been successfully fabricated. Their structural discrepancies with coronene‐ absent control products, 1′—4′, illustrate clearly the significance of coronene‐tpt based D‐A interactions in these architectures. All these coronene‐MOFs contain varied coronene‐tpt stacks as organic secondary building blocks (SBUs), which are closely interrelated with the coordination based framework structures. Moreover, porous coronene‐MOF‐1 and ‐2 exhibit high physicochemical stability and significant light hydrocarbons storage and separation performances.
