Conversion of Nonporous Helical Cadmium Organic Famework to a Porous Form

Abstract

Two novel cadmium–organic frameworks containing achiral multiwalled helical nanotubular channels, [Cd(HImDC)(S)]n (S = Im(1) and Py(2)), have been synthesized and characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction, in which 1 converts to 2 upon refluxing 1 in pyridine solution with noticeable porosity and hydrogen uptake at medium pressure.
