A novel anionic metal-organic framework (NEM-7-Zn) with constricted pores, which was formed by narrow channels and blocks of functional groups, was constructed under solvothermal conditions. Due to the low stability of the Zn-paddlewheel upon termination of the solvation, NEM-7-Zn possesses a very low surface area. For reinforcing the framework stability, metal-ion metathesis in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal fashion on NEM-7-Zn was performed, and then a new Cu-II MOF (termed NEM-7-Cu) with an identical framework was produced. Notably, modified NEM-7-Cu possesses constricted pores and is decorated with Lewis basic pyridyl sites and uncoordinated -COO- groups, resulting in high selectivities for C3H6/C2H4 (8.61), C3H6/C2H2 (6.75), C3H8/C2H2 (7.1), and C3H8/C2H4 (8.82) under ambient conditions. Moreover, NEM-7-Cu shows highly selective adsorption of organic dye molecules (MB+ over CV+, RB+, MO-, and SD0) and the adsorbed MB+ can be released in a NaCl-containing CH3OH solution. Such a post-metal-ion metathesis method can be used to synthesize new and desired frameworks that could not be obtained by direct synthesis.
