The robust synthetic flexibility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offers ap romising class of tailorable materials,for which the ability to tune specific physicochemical properties is highly desired. This is achievable only through at horough description of the consequences for chemical manipulations both in structure and dynamics.M agic angle spinning solid-state NMR spectroscopyoffers many modalities in this pursuit, particularly for dynamic studies.H erein, we employaseparated-local-field NMR approach to show how specific intraframework chemical modifications to MOF UiO-66 heavily modulate the dynamic evolution of the organic ring moiety over several orders of magnitude.Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are constructed from inorganic clusters bridged by organic linkers and possess ideal architectures for gas storage and mixture separation as well as generating recent interest as nanodevices and molecular machines. [1] In comparison to traditional inorganic porous materials,M OFs are far more dynamic/flexible due to the incorporation of organic ligands. [2][3][4] Ak ey advantage of MOFs is the synthetic ease of chemical modification to the organic moieties without change of framework structure, known as isoreticular synthesis.This allows for many avenues of functional modification including adsorptive selectivity based on favorable ligand-guest interactions, [5] changes in pore aperture for separations, [6,7] and shifts in optical behavior. [8] An additional feature of MOFs,w hich has captured much attention, is the prevalence of framework dynamics which can lead to dramatic structural shifts such as breathing, swelling,a nd subnetwork displacements. [9,10] While deformations in the metal cluster have been implicative of dynamic events,the nature of the linker and its functionality is amajor contributor to framework dynamics, [10] and play as ignificant role in determining macroscopic functions such as gas storage and separation, ferroelectricity,s pin crossover and luminescence in av ariety of MOFs. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] As such, establishing relationships between local dynamics driven by the organic ligands and their chemical modification is of general interest for materials design in MOFs. [17,18] Though the structural picture of MOFs is most informed by analysis with X-ray diffraction, this yields an essentially static picture,f ailing to capture the dynamic aspects of the framework. However,dynamic measures of crystalline materials are challenging due to the potential of multiple timescales of coordinated motions in the solid-state.M any dynamic studies have employed solid-state NMR spectroscopy (ssNMR) through 2 H-lineshape analysis to characterize the rotational motion of simple p-phenylene rings within the MOF framework. [15,[19][20][21][22][23][24] Separated-local-field (SLF) solidstate NMR spectroscopy is an alternative,attractive means of dynamic characterization as it uses the heteronuclear dipolar coupling as aproxy for molecular dynamics,does not require isotopic labeling, and can be used t...
