Solvent-Induced Reversible Guest Uptake and Release by Flexible Porous Organic Cages
Porous organic cages with intrinsic and extrinsic cavities offer excellent host–guest control, molecular uptake, and on-demand release without compromising the selectivity. However, dynamic control over the porosity in cage molecules remains challenging. Herein, we report a CC3 cage-based crystalline adsorbent with dynamic control over its porosity for stable adsorption and release of the probe organic molecules. Interestingly, the polymorphic forms of cages (α and β) differ in crystallographic packing with flexible orientation but retain their structure after solvation. Using this isomorphism, the CC3 adsorbent exhibited an uptake of 29.5 mg g–1 for neutral red, 39.5 mg g–1 for methyl blue, and 39 mg g–1 for both molecules. The solvent-induced phase transition selectively obstructs neutral red adsorption with 85.5% change in overall capacity. Adsorption affinity correlates strongly with surface area, while solvent choice governs selectivity, highlighting switchable porosity. These findings enable advanced adsorbents with switchable porosity and selective affinity for energy and environmental applications.
期刊介绍：
ACS Materials Letters is a journal that publishes high-quality and urgent papers at the forefront of fundamental and applied research in the field of materials science. It aims to bridge the gap between materials and other disciplines such as chemistry, engineering, and biology. The journal encourages multidisciplinary and innovative research that addresses global challenges. Papers submitted to ACS Materials Letters should clearly demonstrate the need for rapid disclosure of key results. The journal is interested in various areas including the design, synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of emerging materials, understanding the relationships between structure, property, and performance, as well as developing materials for applications in energy, environment, biomedical, electronics, and catalysis. The journal has a 2-year impact factor of 11.4 and is dedicated to publishing transformative materials research with fast processing times. The editors and staff of ACS Materials Letters actively participate in major scientific conferences and engage closely with readers and authors. The journal also maintains an active presence on social media to provide authors with greater visibility.
