Mechanochemistry enables sustainable and facile synthesis of challenging atomistically precise heterobimetallic Pd( ii )-based metal–organic frameworks.
Mechanochemical synthesis is emerging as an environmentally friendly yet efficient approach to preparing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Herein, we report our systematic investigation on the mechanochemical syntheses of Group 4 element-based MOFs. The developed mechanochemistry allows us to synthesize a family of Hf 4 O 4 (OH) 4 (OOC) 12 -based MOFs. Integrating [Zr 6 O 4 (OH) 4 (OAc)12] 2 and [Hf 6 O 4 (OH) 4 (OAc) 12 ] 2 under the mechanochemical conditions leads to a unique family of cluster-precise multimetallic MOFs that cannot be accessed by the conventional solvothermal synthesis. Finally, extensive efforts have not yielded an effective pathway for preparing Ti IV -derived MOFs, tentatively because of the relatively low Ti-O bond dissociation energy.
Charge decoration provides a new synthetic strategy to integrate discrete coordination cages into an extended permanently porous material.
