Among the numerous fascinating properties of metal⁻organic frameworks (MOFs), their rotational dynamics is perhaps one of the most intriguing, with clear consequences for adsorption and separation of molecules, as well as for optical and mechanical properties. A closer look at the rotational mobility in MOF linkers reveals that it is not only a considerably widespread phenomenon, but also a fairly diverse one. Still, the impact of these dynamics is often understated. In this review, we address the various mechanisms of linker rotation reported in the growing collection of literature, followed by a highlight of the methods currently used in their study, and we conclude with the impacts that such dynamics have on existing and future applications.
在金属有机框架(MOF)众多引人入胜的特性中,其旋转动力学可能是最具吸引力的特性之一,这对分子的吸附和分离以及光学和机械性能都有明显影响。仔细研究MOF连接体中的旋转迁移率会发现,它不仅是一种相当普遍的现象,而且也是一种相当多样的现象。然而,这些动力学的影响常常被低估。在这篇综述中,我们阐述了在不断增加的文献中报道的连接体旋转的各种机制,接着重点介绍了目前用于研究这些机制的方法,最后总结了这种动力学对现有和未来应用的影响。
