Cucurbit [7]uril-threaded flexible organic frameworks: Quantitative polycatenation through dynamic covalent chemistry
2021
ABSTRACT A three-dimensional flexible organic framework FOF-1 has been synthesized from the condensation of a tetratopic acylhydrazine and a rigid 4,4′-diphenyl-4,4′-bipyridinium dialdehyde in water through the quantitative formation of hydrazone bond. FOF-1 is further applied to construct a polycatenane framework FOF-pc-1 through the quantitative cucurbit [7]uril encapsulation for the diphenylbipyridinium subunits of the framework by making use of the dynamic nature of the hydrazone bond in water. The bipyridinium subunits in both frameworks can be reduced their radical cation counterparts to produce conjugated radical cation-linked dynamic organic frameworks rc-FOF-1 or rc-FOF-pc-1. Polycatenation is revealed to enhance the stability of the dynamic frameworks in water, whereas depolycatenation can be reached for both FOF-pc-1 and rc-FOF-pc-1 by using a ferrocene guest to form a more stable complex with CB [7].
