Flexible hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (FHOFs) have attracted great attention due to their unique dynamics and versatile applications; however, designing FHOFs remains a challenge. Herein, we report the first example of a flexible HOF (named 8PZ) with local dynamics for adaptive guest accommodation through incorporating soft ethyl-ester chains. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD) analyses reveal that, in response to various external stimuli, local motions of ethyl-ester chains occur with unaltered molecular assembling forms of 8PZ, which can efficiently regulate pore sizes but allow for stable luminescence performances. 8PZ can adapt to a series of 3-alkylthiophenes with large-scale alkyl-chain-length variation through its local dynamics. Host-guest cocrystals amenable to SXRD analyses are produced, which present programmable temperature-dependent luminescence behaviors and show potential for various crucial applications. This work provides a promising avenue to engineer future multifunctional HOFs, thus enriching the types and applications of existing porous materials.

用于具有可编程发光的自适应客人住宿的氢键有机框架中的局部动力学
柔性氢键有机框架(FHOFs)由于其独特的动力学和广泛的应用而引起了极大的关注;然而,设计 FHOF 仍然是一个挑战。在此,我们报告了第一个灵活的 HOF(命名为 8PZ)的例子,它通过结合软乙酯链具有适应性客人住宿的局部动力学。单晶 X 射线衍射 (SXRD) 分析表明,为了响应各种外部刺激,乙酯链的局部运动发生在 8PZ 的分子组装形式不变的情况下,它可以有效地调节孔径,同时实现稳定的发光性能。8PZ可以通过其局部动力学适应一系列具有大规模烷基链长度变化的3-烷基噻吩。产生了适合 SXRD 分析的主客体共晶,它呈现出可编程的温度依赖性发光行为,并显示出各种关键应用的潜力。这项工作为设计未来的多功能 HOFs 提供了一条有前途的途径,从而丰富了现有多孔材料的类型和应用。
