Guest-host chemistry of small gas molecules, such as H2, N2 and CO2, with dynamic porous coordination polymers (DPCPs) has attracted considerable attention due to the high selectivity and efficiency of these materials. In pursuit of new generation of DPCPs, we synthesized a series of organic ligands functionalized with amide groups, which are expected to significantly improve the flexibility of the framework and improve the interaction between guest molecules and the host surface. Transition metal compounds with various nuclearity have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography, IR, UV-vis, mass spectrum and elemental analysis. The interesting structural and spectroscopic features of these complexes will further enhance the understanding of ligand design and polymer construction, which are major contributors for adsorption properties of DPCP materials.
