Understanding, controlling, and utilizing the flexibility of adsorbents are of great importance and difficulty. Analogous with conventional solid materials, downsizing to the nanoscale is emerging as a possible strategy for controlling the flexibility of porous coordination polymers (or metal-organic frameworks). We report a unique flexibility controllable by crystal size at the micrometer to submillimeter scale. Template removal transforms [Cu2(pypz)2]·0.5p-xylene (MAF-36, Hpypz = 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyridine) with one-dimensional channels to α-[Cu2(pypz)2] with discrete small cavities, and further heating gives a nonporous isomer β-[Cu2(pypz)2]. Both isomers can adsorb p-xylene to give [Cu2(pypz)2]·0.5p-xylene, meaning the coexistence of guest-driven flexibility and shape-memory behavior. The phase transition temperature from α-[Cu2(pypz)2] to β-[Cu2(pypz)2] decreased from ~270°C to ~150°C by increasing the crystal size from the micrometer to the submillimeter scale, ca. 2-3 orders larger than those of other size-dependent behaviors. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction showed coordination bond reconstitution and chirality inversion mechanisms for the phase transition, which provides a sufficiently high energy barrier to stabilize the metastable phase without the need of downsizing to the nanoscale. By virtue of the crystalline molecular imprinting and gate-opening effects, α-[Cu2(pypz)2] and β-[Cu2(pypz)2] show unprecedentedly high p-xylene selectivities of 16 and 51, respectively, as well as ultrafast adsorption kinetics (<2 minutes), for xylene isomers.

1. Introduction

As an indispensable raw material for polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate, p-xylene (pX) is generally obtained from xylene mixtures produced in catalytic reforming of crude oil. Because of their similar physical properties, the separation of xylene mixtures is challenging. The dominant industrial method for separating pX from xylene isomers is physical adsorption using FAU-type zeolites X and Y, but they suffer from low pX selectivity and adsorption rate, requiring energy-intensive operational conditions such as elevated temperature (~180°C) and pressure (~9 bar) [1]. Therefore, developing new adsorbents with high pX selectivity and adsorption rate at ambient conditions is of paramount importance.
Flexible adsorbents can change their structures in response to external stimuli, which have great potential to achieve ultrahigh separation efficiency [2–10], although successful examples for xylene isomers are still scarce [2–4]. Porous coordination polymers (PCPs), also known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are the most remarkable type of flexible adsorbents [11–13]. Nevertheless, the framework flexibility of an adsorbent is difficult to design or control [5]. Structural transformations of flexible adsorbents are generally thermodynamically controlled (thermodynamically controlled flexibility (TCF)) and driven by guest change, where the thermodynamic potential of the host-guest system changes significantly (ΔE) by the host-guest interaction (Figure 1(a)). However, changing guest loading controls the host framework structure rather than framework flexibility or adsorption/separation behavior [5]. Previously, we demonstrated that the kinetic factor (kinetically controlled flexibility (KCF)) is critical for controlling framework flexibility [14]. With a suitable energy barrier (Ea), structural transformation can be controlled by a physical stimulus/parameter such as temperature [14–19]. The energy barrier comprises the internal (intrinsic) part determined by host structure and the external (tunable) part dependent on particle structure such as crystal size, morphology, and defect.
The size-dependent properties emerging at the nanoscale are one of the most noteworthy developments of modern solid-state chemistry. As a subset of solid materials, MOFs may show similar behaviors, although known examples are still scarce [18–24]. Sakata et al. found that downsizing a flexible MOF to the nanoscale can increase the energy barrier to stabilize the open host configuration after guest removal, and heating (dependent on crystal size) can overcome the barrier to give the original closed configuration, mimicking the shape-memory behavior (Figure 1(b)) [18]. However, compared with conventional inorganic materials, it is much more difficult to downsize MOFs to the nanoscale. The relatively low stabilities of MOFs would be further emphasized at the nanoscale. The usefulness of size-dependent flexibility or shape-memory behavior for industrially important separation systems has not been demonstrated so far. Here, we report a MOF combining guest-driven flexibility and shape-memory behavior easily controllable by crystal size at the micrometer to submillimeter scale (Figure 1(c)), which is useful for pX separation.

2.1. Synthesis, Structure, and Flexibility
Mixing an aqueous ammonia solution of [Cu(NH3)2]OH, a pyridine solution of 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyridine (Hpypz), and pX at room temperature yielded yellow crystals of [Cu2(pypz)2]·0.5pX (MAF-36) [25]. Three samples with crystal sizes of around 0.5×0.5×1 μm3, 30×30×100 μm3, and 100×100×500 μm3 (denoted as 1, 2, and 3, respectively) were prepared by increasing the ammonia concentration (Figure 2(a)–(c) and S1). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed a zigzag-shaped two-dimensional (2D) coordination structure, in which antiparallel copper-pyrazolate 21 helices are interconnected by Cu-pyridyl bonds in one of the two available directions (half metal ions and organic ligands become three-coordinated, others remain two-coordinated). These zigzag layers stack in the interdigitated mode to form the crystal, retaining zigzag 1D channels (void ratio=18.5%, pore volume=0.11 cm3 g−1) with a rectangle cross section filled with pX molecules (Figure 3(e), S2, and S3).
Thermogravimetry (TG) curves of 1, 2, and 3 are very similar, which completely release pX molecules between 30 and 150°C, followed by a plateau until decomposition at about 310°C (Figure S4). The immersion of the three as-synthesized samples in dichloromethane (DCM) yielded a guest-free structure (Figure S5) with a powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern somewhat different from the as-synthesized structure. Interestingly, variable-temperature PXRD showed that the guest-free structure can transform to a new phase at high temperature, and the phase transition temperature is dependent on the crystal size (Figure 2(d)–(f) and S6–S8). In other words, we found three structures for [Cu2(pypz)2], i.e., the as-synthesized, guest-included structure [Cu2(pypz)2]·0.5pX (denoted as A) and the two guest-free frameworks α-[Cu2(pypz)2] and β-[Cu2(pypz)2] (denoted as B and C, respectively). The main differences among the PXRD patterns of A, B, and C appear at diffraction peaks at 8-9°, 14-15°, and 17-18°. For example, the diffraction peak at 8.6° shifts about -0.2° and +0.4° from A to B and from A to C, respectively. As shown in Figure 2(d)–(f), 1, 2, and 3 can retain phase B at up to 240°C, 150°C, and 90°C and completely transform to phase C at 300°C, 270°C, and 240°C, respectively, clearly demonstrating the crystal-size-dependent behavior at the micrometer to submillimeter scale. The stabilization of the metastable phase by crystal downsizing has been reported by three examples [18, 19], but they all require nanoscale crystals (Table S1). Note that the transformations among A, B, and C combine the common guest-driven flexibility and the unique shape-memory behavior [16, 17]. In principle, the presence of an additional host configuration can provide more routes of structural transformations and more opportunities for controlling the guest responses. If the crystal size of MAF-36 is smaller than that of 1 or larger than that of 3, the guest-free host would exhibit as just B or just C from room temperature to the decomposition temperature, giving pure guest-driven flexibility between A and B or between A and C, respectively. As shown in Figure 1, the shape-memory behavior of a flexible MOF can have more than one original structure (memory), in which the thermodynamic potential and the associated energy barrier sequentially decrease and increase, respectively.
2.2. Structural Transformation Mechanisms
Because the crystal sizes are large enough, we were able to clearly visualize the structural transformations by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction [26]. A and B possess the same P21/c space group, but their unit-cell parameters have obvious differences (Table S2), including 5.8% shortening of the a-axis, 4.4° increase of the β-angle, and 6.7% contraction of the unit-cell volume after guest removal. As reflected by the changes of the a-axis and the β-angle, the major difference between A and B lies in the deformation of the coordination layers (Figure 3(a) and (b)). The transformation from A to B is also accompanied by the slight swing of the uncoordinated pyridyl ends towards the inner pore, compressing and cutting the original 1D channel into discrete cavities (void ratio=10.6%, pore volume=0.06 cm3 g−1) with an irregular shape (Figure 3(f) and S3).
The unit-cell volume of C further decreases by 6.3% from that of B. Interestingly, the orientations of the crystallographic b- and c-axes are altered. The local coordination geometry and network topology of C are basically the same as those of A and B. However, the chirality distribution of the copper-pyrazolate coordination helices in C is different from those of A and B. In the cases of A and B, right- and left-handed helices on the same layer are alternately arranged, giving a centrosymmetric coordination layer. In contrast, each layer in C is chiral because adjacent coordination helices on the same layer have the same chirality. Nevertheless, the 3D structure of C is still centrosymmetric because the layers are stacked in the heterochiral fashion. In other words, A/B and C possess syndiotactic (P,M,P,M) and heterotactic (P,P,M,M) chirality, respectively [27]. These structural differences suggest that in the structural transformation from B to C, half of the helices change their chirality. The opposite chirality of the helices in B and C mainly rely on the positions of the Cu ions and the pointing directions of the pyridyl ends.
Based on the minimum change principle, a possible mechanism for the transformation can be suggested: (1) the Cu-pyridyl bonds are broken to allow the Cu ions (originally three-coordinated, now two-coordinated) to move from one side to the other side of the layer and allow the pyridyl ends to swing to the opposite direction of the helix; meanwhile, (2) the neighbouring Cu ions (originally two-coordinated) move oppositely (versus the originally three-coordinated Cu ions) to reverse the chirality of the helix and (3) new Cu-pyridyl bonds form between the pyridyl ends and the originally two-coordinated Cu ions (Figure 3(c) and (d) and S9). Such a chiral resolution also forces the deformation of the other parts of the 2D coordination layer. For example, the uncoordinated pyridyl end of the ligand further swings towards the inner channel to furnish a close packing structure (void ratio=0%, Figure 3(g)). Obviously, PXRD analysis can hardly reveal these drastic local structural transformations including the cleavage/reformation of coordination bonds and chirality rearrangement.
Computational simulation showed that the framework energy of B is 16 kJ mol-1 higher than that of C, being consistent with their thermodynamic stabilities. The energy barrier of the transformation can be approximately estimated to be the energy needed to break the Cu-N coordination bond (calculated to be 103 kJ mol-1, Figure S10) [28]. This high internal/intrinsic energy barrier can explain the stability of B at the micrometer to submillimeter scale, without the need of the nanoscale.
2.3. Separation of Xylene Isomers
Since A can be regarded as a crystalline molecular-imprinted host templated by pX, high pX selectivity for xylene isomers can be expected [29, 30]. Crystals of as-synthesized 3 (3A) were treated to obtain pure 3B and pure 3C as the adsorbents with the same crystal size. TG and PXRD showed that 3B and 3C can achieve adsorption equilibrium within 3 and 24 h, respectively, after being immersed into each of the three xylene isomers (Figures S11–S13). At the same conditions, the uptakes of pX were close to saturation while those of m-xylene (mX) and o-xylene (oX) were only about half of that. To study the real separation performances, 3B and 3C were then immersed in an equimolar mixture of xylene isomers for 3 and 24 h, respectively. Gas chromatography analyses showed pX/mX/oX uptake ratios of 17(1) : 1.11(2) : 1 and 53.9(5) : 1.101(6) : 1 or pX selectivities of 16 and 51 for 3B and 3C, respectively (Figure 4(a) and S14). These selectivities remained basically unchanged after three consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles (Figures S15–S16), demonstrating good reusability of 3B and 3C. For comparison, the highest pX adsorption selectivity reported so far was 7~10 for MOFs (Table S3) [31–41] and 7.19 for the industrially used FAU-type zeolite [42].
Besides the molecular imprinting effect, the ultrahigh pX selectivities of 3B and 3C can be also attributed to their gate-opening type transformations during the adsorption processes [2], which give additional barriers for the adsorption of the less suitable guests mX and oX. Although B and C both transformed towards A after the adsorption of xylene isomers, 3B was obviously easier/faster (Figure S13), indicating that a suitably higher gate-opening barrier can improve the guest separation selectivity.
Besides selectivity and recyclability, adsorption kinetics is also an important but often neglected factor. Considering that 3C has ultrahigh pX selectivity but relatively slow adsorption rate, using 3B with a slightly lower selectivity but much faster adsorption rate as the adsorbent may be more efficient for purifying pX (by using multiple adsorption-desorption cycles). Moreover, with a much smaller crystal size, the adsorption rate of 1B is ultrafast (within 2 min, Figure 4(b) and S17) and its selectivity is similar to that of 3B (Figure 4(a) and S18). To the best of our knowledge, MOF adsorbents reported in the literature require at least hours to achieve satisfactory batch adsorption of xylene isomers [2, 32, 33, 37]. It is worth noting that the crystal size of 1B is still at the normal micrometer scale, which is advantageous for avoiding common problems of nanomaterials, such as instability and difficulty of synthesis.
3. Discussion
Less
In conclusion, MAF-36 exhibits a unique flexibility among a guest-included and two guest-free states, in which the common guest-driven structural transformation and the special shape-memory behavior coexist, and noteworthily, the latter is tunable by crystal size at the micrometer to submillimeter scale. The structural transformation of MAF-36 from the less stable guest-free state to the more stable guest-free state requires the reconstitution of coordination bonds, which generates a high internal energy barrier (without the need of an external barrier) sufficient to stabilize the metastable phase at the normal crystal size (without the need of the nanoscale) and high temperature. Being proportional to the outer surface area of the crystal, surface energy is significant only at the nanoscale. The concentration of a crystal defect generally increases along with the crystal size, which explains the difficulty for growing large single crystals. Structural transformation is believed to occur first at the lattice defect [18, 43, 44], so that increasing crystal size can decrease the external energy barrier due to the increase of lattice defect in a single crystallite. Because the crystal sizes of MAF-36 are well above nanoscale, the contribution of surface energy should be negligible, so that of the lattice defect should play a dominant role in controlling the phase transition temperature. By contrast, the structural transformation from the guest-included state to the less stable guest-free state involves only distortion, which can have a negligible energy barrier to allow the reversible guest-driven actions.
MAF-36 also exhibits tunable and superb pX separation performances from xylene isomers, which can be explained by the molecular imprinting effect (pX as template and target guest) and the gate-opening effect (from the guest-free states to the guest-included state). The molecular imprinting effect has been well demonstrated in the field of amorphous organic polymers but has not been used in crystalline adsorbents (including MOFs) before. Adding target molecules in the synthesis/crystallization environment may yield host-guest type crystals templated by the target which exhibit high selectivity for the target [45]. However, to achieve the molecular imprinting effect similar to MAF-36, the host-guest type crystal needs to be robust for the template removal and reversible adsorption-desorption processes. Note that both rigid and flexible structures can be robust. The results of this work not only advance our understanding of the flexibility of MOFs but also open up a new avenue for future development of smart materials.

4.1. Materials and Measurements
All commercially available reagents and solvents were used as received without further purification. 4-(1H-Pyrazol-4-yl)pyridine (Hpypz) was prepared according to a method found in the literature [46]. Optical microscope images were recorded using a light transmission microscope (Olympus BX51, Melville, NY). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were recorded on a JEOL JSM-6700 Field Emission SEM device. Thermogravimetry (TG) analyses were performed on a NETZSCH TG 209 F3 instrument with a ramp rate of 10.0°C min-1 under nitrogen atmosphere at ambient pressure. PXRD data were collected on a SmartLab X-ray powder diffractometer using a D/teX Ultra250 detector in the 5-35° (2θ) range in Cu Kα reflection (Kβ characteristic X-rays being filtered by a Kβ filter (Ni foil)) and with a step size of 0.01° 2θ at room temperature. Variable-temperature PXRD measurements (with Anton Paar XRK 900 sample holder connected with TCU 750 temperature control unit) were performed under N2 flow (50 mL min-1, controlled by a mass flowmeter). The temperature ramp rate was 10°C min-1 during the change of measurement temperature. Elemental analyses (EA) were performed by a vario EL Elemental Analyzer (C, H, and N).
4.2. Syntheses
Under N2 atmosphere, a solution of Hpypz (0.435 g, 3 mmol) and p-xylene (5 mL) in pyridine (30 mL) was poured into a solution of [Cu(NH3)2]OH (0.332 mg, 1.5 mmol) in aqueous ammonia (30 mL) at room temperature. The mixture was left to stand for 1.5 hours, and then the precipitate was filtrated, washed with methanol, and dried in air to obtain microcrystalline samples. The ammonia concentration was 6.25%, 12.5%, and 25% for samples 1 (0.440 g, yield 62%), 2 (0.496 g, yield 70%), and 3 (0.514 g, yield 72%), respectively. EA calcd (%) for [Cu2(pypz)2]·0.5C8H10: C 51.28, H 3.66, N 17.94; found: C 51.06, H 3.41, N 18.17 for 1, C 50.98, H 3.43, N 18.24 for 2, C 51.05, H 3.44, N 18.24 for 3. EA calcd (%) for α-[Cu2(pypz)2]: C 46.26, H 2.91, N 20.23; found: C 46.30, H 2.67, N 20.25 for 1, C 46.37, H 2.63, N 20.38 for 2, C 46.56, H 2.63, N 20.34 for 3.
4.3. X-Ray Crystallography
Diffraction intensities were collected on a Pilatus XtaLAB P300D diffractometer with Mo Kα radiation. Absorption corrections were applied using the multiscan program REQAB. The structures were solved with the direct method and refined with a full-matrix least-squares technique based on F2 with the SHELXTL program package. Anisotropic thermal parameters were applied to all nonhydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms were generated by the riding mode. Crystallographic data in CIF format have been deposited in the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) under deposition numbers 1548426–1548428. Data collection and structural refinement parameters are given in Table S2.
4.4. Computational Details
Periodic density functional theory (PDFT) calculations were performed through the Materials Studio 5.5 package. Optimization of the framework structures was carried out by the DMol3 module. The widely used generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) function and the double numerical plus d-function (DND) basis set as well as the DFT Semicore Pseudopots (DSPP) were used. The convergence tolerances were set as follows: energy, 2×10−5 kcal/mol; force, 1.0×10−3 kcal/mol/Å; and displacement, 1.0×10−5 Å.
4.5. Liquid-Phase Adsorption and Separation Experiments
In single-component adsorption experiments, the MOF sample (15 mg) was immersed in 100 μL o-xylene, m-xylene, or p-xylene at room temperature. After 3 (3B) or 24 (3C) hours, the sample was filtrated and dried in the N2 flow (20 mL/min) at 30°C for 1 hour. The xylene uptakes were calculated by the weight loss below 180°C of the TG curves.
In the characterization of adsorption kinetics for ternary components, the MOF sample (25 mg) was immersed in 200  μL of an equimolar mixture of xylene isomers at room temperature for a given time. The immersion times were 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours for 3B and 3C and 10, 30, 60, 120, and 1800 seconds for 1B. After that, the sample was filtrated and dried in the N2 flow (20 mL/min) at 30°C for 1 hour. The xylene uptakes were calculated by the weight loss below 180°C of the TG curves.
For determining the xylene adsorption ratios, the MOF sample (250 mg) was immersed in a 2 mL equimolar mixture of xylene isomers at room temperature for 0.5 (1B), 3 (3B), and 24 (3C) hours, respectively, and then filtered and dried in the N2 flow (20 mL/min) at 30°C for 1 hour. After that, 10 mg of sample was digested using 0.5 mL of an 8 M aqueous solution of HNO3. Xylene molecules in the digestion solution were extracted by n-heptane (1.5 mL, chromatographically pure) for two times. The digestion solution was gathered together for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses to determine the molar ratios of the isomers. To regenerate the adsorbents, xylene-loaded 1B and 3B were immersed in DCM for 1 day and xylene-loaded 3C was further heated at 150°C after the same DCM extraction step. All adsorbents were evacuated at 70°C for 3 hours before immersing into the xylene mixture.
4.6. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Analyses
GC-MS measurements were performed by an Agilent 7890A-5975C apparatus with a CP7502 capillary column (25 m×0.35 mm i.d.). In each measurement, 1 μL of analyte was injected to determine the molar ratio of the isomers. The conditions of the temperature settings are as follows: the column temperature is 70°C (held for 1 min), which increases to 150°C at 5°C/min (held for 1 min) and then cooled to 70°C; the front injection temperature is 210°C. The He flow was 3 mL/min, and the split mode was 10 : 1 for measured samples. The selectivity is αij=Ai/Aj/Aio/Ajo, where Ai and Aj are integrated peak areas of xylene isomers adsorbed into the framework, calculated by the equipped analysis software, and Aio and Ajo are the integrated peak areas of xylene isomers of an equimolar ternary xylene mixture. Each reported selectivity value in this work is the average result of three parallel experiments and the standard deviation of which was also calculated. The p-xylene selectivity is defined according to the literature [31] as 2q3/q1+q2, where q1, q2, and q3 are uptakes of o-, m-, and p-xylene, respectively, in ternary adsorption experiments.
