Particularly intriguing within the realm of two‐component systems are those incorporating a photoswitchable molecule within a porous metal‐organic framework (MOF) host. In such configurations, the non‐covalently attached guest molecule undergoes distinct physicochemical changes influenced by factors like guest structure, guest density, and the shape of the MOF pores. In this study, fluorinated azobenzenes (Fx‐AZB) were introduced into the rigid UiO‐66 host, and the resulting optical properties were examined with a focus on the degree of fluorination. The photoisomers of all examined compounds exhibited remarkable stability under repetitive light exposure, showing no signs of fatigue. Moreover, both photoisomers remained stable at room temperature, defying the typical T‐type photochromism associated with azobenzenes. Most notably, all fluorinated azobenzene derivatives displayed nearly complete photoswitching upon exposure to visible light within the UiO‐66 MOF host. This positions these composite materials as leaders in the realm of azobenzene‐based switch@MOF systems.","PeriodicalId":23934,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140884502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering that (BDI)GaI and analogue (BDI)AlI complexes are prone to decomposition and can generally only be obtained in low yields (20‐40%), the quantitative formation of (DIPePBDI)GaI (2) is remarkable and no doubt related to its excellent thermal stability even in refluxing toluene. Although the low‐valent metal center in 2 is sterically protected by the superbulky DIPePBDI ligand, it is readily oxidized by N2O to give intermediate (DIPePBDI)Ga=O which readily decomposed by abstracting a proton from the backbone Me‐substituent. Reaction with trimethylsilyl azide gave an intermediate imido complex (DIPePBDI)Ga=N(SiMe3)2 which reacted with a second equivalent of Me3SiN3 to a mixture of an azide/amido complex (DIPePBDI)GaN3[N(SiMe3)2] (4) and a tetrazagallole complex (DIPePBDI)Ga[N4(SiMe3)2] (5) in a 1:2 ratio. Whereas the azide/amido complex 4 could be structurally characterised, the tetraazagallole complex 5 was identified by NMR spectroscopy.
