Reaction of tert-butyl 3,5-diaminobenzoate with cyanuric chloride gave triazine-based macrocycle 1 in 44.3% yield, which was characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. A thermally stable HOF-1 from macrocycle 1 was crystallized from hexane−THF, and its porous property was studied. The crystallographic analysis revealed that the void space was maintained by the π−π, H-bond, and C−H−π interactions between the aromatic moieties in a solid state. The framework changes while losing solvents and produces various emission intensities when irradiated. After completely removing the solvents, the void space of HOF 1 was still available for solvation, and surprisingly, the framework almost recovered after adsorbing solvents according to the powder-XRD study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
