Porous crystals can possess flexible structures and exhibit reversible changes in response to external stimuli such as small volatile compounds, light, pressure, etc. In recent years, much attention has been focused on metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks. However, porous molecular crystals can also show surprising dynamic properties, which has yet been thoroughly explored. Barbour and co-workers showed one of the examples (Nature Materials volume 25, pages481–486 (2026) ).
In this work, we aim to construct macrocycles with different sizes using dynamic covalent bond, and then obtain their single crystals. The crystal structures will be determined by X-ray diffraction, and the dynamic properties of these crystals will be studied.
