This work presents the construction of a porous lead-organic framework (UPC-10) with large channels of ∼24 Å. UPC-10 shows efficient adsorption of I2 and selective adsorption of some dyes containing the SO3− group. After the adsorption of dyes, UPC-10 exhibits a CO2 gas uptake ability. Furthermore, UPC-10 could be transformed into PbS in a H2S atmosphere, and the derived PbS manifests N2 and CO2 uptake abilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Two porous metal–organic frameworks (1 and 2) with a fsc topology based on mixed ligands have been assembled and characterized. The different pillared ligands (pyrazine for 1 and 4,4′-bipyridine for 2) significantly influence the pore size of the frameworks. Gas uptake measurements reveal that complex 1 possesses higher H2, CO2, and CH4 uptake capacities than 2, although the surface area of 1 is lower than that of complex 2. These results further experimentally prove that the pore size plays an important role in gas uptake in porous MOFs, and the slit pore with a size of ∼6 Å exhibits stronger interactions with gas molecules.

Through a pillar-ligand extension strategy, a rare breathing behavior in polycatenated 2D→3D nets has been achieved. Three variants exhibit interesting sorption properties that range from non-breathing to breathing behaviors, which is influenced by the angles between the pillars and the single honeycomb layers. The increase in pillar length does not lead to an increase in polycatenation multiplicity, which is controlled by the length of intralayer tripodal carboxylate. It also does not induce obviously expanded interlayer separations but occupies much more the free voids, and as a consequence, a smaller pore volume is obtained. This suggests that in 2D→3D polycatenated bilayer metal-organic frameworks, the porosity is not always enhanced by increasing the length of the interlayer pillars with the intralayer linker remaining unchanged.

Twoisomorphous lanthanide–organic frameworks, Ln(BDC)1.5(DMF)(H2O) (Ln = Er (1), Tm (2)) have been synthesized based on 1,4-benzenedicarboxylicacid (H2BDC). Because of the 2-fold interpenetration, thepores are partly blocked and there are no significant gas adsorptionsfor these two interpenetrating nets. Through control over interpenetrationby applying an organic ligand with hindrance groups or replacing coordinatedsolvent molecules with a chelating ligand, three non-interpenetratinglanthanide–organic frameworks, Er2(BDC)3(phen)2·3H2O (3), Tm(TBDC)1.5(DMF)(H2O)·2H2O (4), Er2(TBDC)3(phen)2·4DMF·2H2O (5), possessing the same topology with 1and 2, have been synthesized and characterized.Further changing reaction conditions, three other porous lanthanide–organicframeworks with different structures with 1–5, Tm(BDC)1.5(H2O)·0.5DMF·C2H5OH·2H2O (6), Tm4(BDC)6(H2O)2(DMF)(C2H5OH)·2DMF·2H2O (7),and Sm(TBDC)1.5(phen)(H2O)·DMF·H2O (8), have been constructed. Gas sorption measurementsfor 5, 6, 7, and 8have been carried out and revealed that these materials possesspermanent porosity. The catalytic property for complex 6has also been studied.
