Title: Out-of-Oblivion Cage Molecules and Their Porous Crystalline Phases

Abstract

An automated molecular porosity detection approach was developed and applied to PubChem, a repository of ca. 94 million molecules, to discover intrinsically porous cage molecules, which, although previously considered by chemists, have remained in oblivion to the porous solids community as neither their crystal structures nor solid-state porosity have been previously reported. The effort led to identification of six such cage molecules reported over the span of the last two decades. The following crystal structure prediction effort suggested that these molecules can form stable low-energy porous crystalline phases. One of the identified lowest energy phases exhibits zeolite-range porosity with pore diameters of ca. 8 Å and internal surface area of 1070 m²/g.

In Silico Prediction of Structural Properties of a Racemic Porous Organic Cage Crystal

Journal Article Liu, Yang ; Zhu, Guanghui ; You, Wenqin ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Porous organic cage (POC) solids are porous materials made up of individual porous molecules held together by noncovalent forces. While many examples of POCs have been made in homochiral forms (i.e., crystals in which every molecule has the same chirality), crystallization of POCs that contain mixtures of chiral molecules can also yield useful properties. For example, our previous work has demonstrated that a POC crystal [cage crystal 3 (CC3)-racemic] synthesized using a racemic mixture of diaminocyclohexane has improved sorption properties and stability than a similar POC crystal synthesized with homochiral diaminocyclohexane. The main purpose of this paper is to predictmore »« less

Toward Automated Tools for Characterization of Molecular Porosity

Journal Article García, Ismael Gómez ; Bernabei, Marco ; Haranczyk, Maciej - Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation

The emerging advanced porous materials, e.g. extended framework materials and porous molecular materials, offer an unprecedented level of control of their structure and function. The enormous possibilities for tuning these materials by changing their building blocks mean that, in principle, optimally performing materials for a variety of applications can be systematically designed. However, the process of finding a set of optimal structures for a given application requires computational high-throughput tools to analyze and sieve through many candidate materials. In particular, in the case of porous molecular materials, the analysis and selection of a molecule is one of the key aspectsmore »« less

A new naturally-occurring nanoporous copper sheet–silicate with 6{sup 4}8{sup 2} cages related to synthetic “CuSH” phases

Journal Article Welch, Mark D., E-mail: mdw@nhm.ac.uk ; Rumsey, Michael S. - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The structure of a new naturally-occurring nanoporous copper silicate of formula Na{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}Si{sub 8}O{sub 20}·H{sub 2}O (disodium calcium dicopper octasilicate monohydrate) is reported and its relations to synthetic nanoporous “CuSH” compounds are discussed. The new phase is monoclinic C2/m with unit cell parameters a=12.2439(6) Å, b=15.7514(4) Å, c=10.6008(3) Å, β=125.623(2)°, and V=1661.87(10) Å{sup 3} (Z=4). The structure has been refined to R{sub 1}(all)=0.033, wR{sub 2}(all)=0.071, and GoF=1.090. In the double-sheet of SiO{sub 4} tetrahedra, 6{sup 4}8{sup 2} cages connect to form a chequer-board motif within which Na atoms and H{sub 2}O groups occupy channels. Each cage is occupied bymore »« less

Transforming Porous Organic Cages into Porous Ionic Liquids via a Supramolecular Complexation Strategy

Journal Article Jie, Kecheng ; Onishi, Nicole ; Schott, Jennifer A. ; ... - Angewandte Chemie (International Edition)

Porous liquids are a type of porous materials that engineer permanent porosity into unique flowing liquids, exhibiting promising functionalities for a variety of applications. In this study, a Type I porous liquid is synthesized by transforming porous organic cages into porous ionic liquids via a supramolecular complexation strategy. Simple physical mixing of 18-crown-6 with task-specific anionic porous organic cages affords a porous ionic liquid with anionic porous organic cages as the anionic parts and 18-crown-6/potassium ion complexes as the cationic parts. In contrast, mixing of 15-crown-5 and anionic porous organic cages in a 2:1 ratio gives only solids, while themore »« less

Computationally-Guided Synthetic Control over Pore Size in Isostructural Porous Organic Cages

Journal Article Slater, Anna G. ; Reiss, Paul S. ; Pulido, Angeles ; ... - ACS Central Science

The physical properties of 3-D porous solids are defined by their molecular geometry. Hence, precise control of pore size, pore shape, and pore connectivity are needed to tailor them for specific applications. However, for porous molecular crystals, the modification of pore size by adding pore-blocking groups can also affect crystal packing in an unpredictable way. This precludes strategies adopted for isoreticular metal-organic frameworks, where addition of a small group, such as a methyl group, does not affect the basic framework topology. Here, we narrow the pore size of a cage molecule, CC3, in a systematic way by introducing methyl groupsmore »« less
