    Selective adsorption of chlorinated volatile organic compound vapours by microcrystalline 1D coordination polymers

    Microcrystalline 1D coordination polymers 1-3Pwd are able to adsorb vapours of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (Cl-VOCs), displaying interesting selectivity patterns, as demonstrated by 1H-NMR and X-ray diffraction analyses. Due to their dynamic breathing-like behavior, chemical and thermal stabilities and adsorption selectivity, these isostructural coordination polymers are promising to be used as filters for toxic Cl-VOCs

    Dynamic single crystal to polycrystal transformation of a 1D-coordination polymer and its second harmonic generation

    Upon guest CHCl3 release, the one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer 1·CHCl3 gives rise to a non-porous structure, 1, following a unit cell volume reduction of ca. 22%. Due to the considerable structural transformation, the single crystal does not maintain its integrity, and therefore the structure determination has been carried out by combining single crystal X-ray diffraction and ab initio X-ray powder diffraction analyses. The result shows a symmetry breaking transformation leading to an acentric crystalline material (1), which shows nonlinear optical properties such as second harmonic generatio
