摘要

Dynamic chemistry offers opportunities for the design of smart materials that can self adapt or self repair to mediate their functionality. However, achieving anti-crack toughness using dynamic covalent bonds is often overlooked in crystalline porous solids such as metal–organic frameworks. Here we propose that crystalline dynamicity can be derived from bio-inspired disulfide metathesis, as demonstrated by a dynamic combinatorial library of isomeric metal–organic frameworks (LIFM-105, LIFM-105i, and LIFM-105a). Sulfur–sulfur bond breakage and regeneration facilitate stimuli-responsive interconversion between two-dimensional and three-dimensional frameworks, involving simultaneous layer rotation, component shift and linkage reorganization. The disulfide exchange-based crystal dynamics provides these porous solids with gas-induced adaptiveness and the gate effect, enabling pore tuning for efficient removal of C2H2 from C2H4. Additionally, the guest-adaptation-motivated restoration and reorganization of the ‘damaged’ frameworks afford a promising protocol to apply radical-mediated dynamic solids as adaptive porous materials for durable separation and other applications.
