"Nanoscale Lattice Fence" in a Metal-Organic Framework: Interplay between Hinged Topology and Highly Anisotropic Thermal Response.

A thermoresponsive, 3D hinged metal-organic framework (HMOF-1) assembled from meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphine and CdI exhibits a 3D "lattice fence" topology with extraordinary thermal expansion and shrinkage. A simple structural model is established to elucidate such a drastic thermal response. The hi...
