Synthesis of Metal–Organic Cages via Orthogonal Bond Cleavage in 3D Metal–Organic Frameworks

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Herein we address the question of whether a supramolecular finite metal-organic structure such as a cage or metal-organic polyhedron (MOP) can be synthesized via controlled cleavage of a three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic structure. To demonstrate this, we report the synthesis of a Cu(II)-based cuboctahedral MOP through orthogonal olefinic bond cleavage of the cavities of a 3D, Cu(II)-based, metal-organic framework (MOF). Additionally, we demonstrate that controlling the ozonolysis conditions used for the cleavage enables Clip-off Chemistry synthesis of two cuboctahedral MOPs that differ by their external functionalization: one in which all 24 external groups represent a mixture of aldehydes, carboxylic acids, acetals and esters, and one in which all are aldehydes.
