Key Points

The aim is to explore how C3 hydrocarbons induce structural changes in flexible coordination polymers for guest encapsulation.
Employ crystallographic visualization to analyze structural transformations.
Investigate the transition from nonporous to porous states in coordination polymers.
Test various C3 hydrocarbons for their ability to induce changes.
C3 hydrocarbons effectively induce structural transformations in the coordination network.
The flexible network can switch between nonporous and porous states depending on the guest size/shape.
Encapsulation of guest molecules is demonstrated, indicating potential applications.

Implication

Novel coordination polymers demonstrate guest encapsulation through structural transformation in flexible networks, suggesting potential applications.

Abstract

Flexible coordination polymers that can self-adjust, via closed (nonporous) to open (porous) switching, to match the size/shape of guest molecules are of particular interest. Herein, we reported C3 hydrocarbons can...
