Dynamic 2D manganese(ii) isonicotinate framework with reversible crystal-to-amorphous transformation and selective guest adsorption†
Abstract
A 2D layered microporous isonicotinate-supported manganese(II) metal–organic framework was found to exhibit a reversible crystal-to-amorphous transformation upon the removal and uptake of certain guest molecules. Unsaturated metal centers, generated in the dynamic framework upon activation, were found to facilitate the selective adsorption of CO2versus N2.
