Single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation of tetrathiafulvalene-based hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks†
Abstract
The design and synthesis of a hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) based on tetrathiafulvalene tetracarboxylic acid is reported. The resultant HOF can undergo single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation to form another two isomers. The structural characteristics and the redox properties of the HOFs were conveniently tailored utilizing the transformation of the phases.
