Bulky Ligands for Open Channels: Manganese (II) <i>sql</i> MOFs from Pyridyl‐Functionalised [ <i>3</i> ]Polynorbornanes
Two, semi-linear, fused [n]polynorbornanes based aliphatic ligands (one a di-Methyl ester L<sub>Me</sub> and the other a di-Ethyl ester L<sub>Et</sub>) have been synthesised and used to form two isoreticular sql MOFs of the formula [Mn(L)<sub>2</sub>(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]. Crystal structure analysis revealed large pores with a distinct lack of interpenetration with the nets neatly aligned to create extended 1D channels. Of interest, the ester moieties of these ligands orient into the channels highlighting the potential for creating customised, pore functionalised MOFs.
