Abstract:
A robust hydrogen-bonded organic framework HOF-TCBP (H4 TCBP=3,3',5,5'-tetrakis-(4-carboxyphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl) has been successfully constructed and structurally characterized. It possesses a permanent 3D porous structure with a 5-fold interpenetrated dia topological network. This activated HOF-TCBP has a high BET surface area of 2066 m2 g-1 and is capable of highly selective adsorption and separation of light hydrocarbons under ambient conditions. It shows excellent thermal stability, as demonstrated by PXRD experiments and N2 adsorption tests. Practical use of HOF-TCBP is facilitated by the ease of its preparation and renewal through rotary evaporation.

Because hydrogen has very weak electronegativity when it binds with a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, electrons in the bond are unequally shared....

The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal...
