Abstract
En 中文
Mechanical interlocking has recently emerged as a novel structural design principle for crystalline porous organic materials. Unlike traditional reticular chemistry that relies on covalent or coordination bonding to build rigid lattices, mechanical bonding provides an alternative design space where the structural integrity of the crystal is maintained while the individual components preserve intrinsic mobility. The incorporation of interlocked macrocycles, cages, and framework subunits has enabled new forms of structural order that combine crystallinity with dynamic molecular motion. This review summarizes current progress in the synthesis and structural design of crystalline porous materials driven by topology interlocking. The discussion is organized by increasing structural hierarchy, covering interlocked macrocycles, interlocked cages, mechanically interlocked metal-organic frameworks, and interlocked covalent organic frameworks. The relationships between interlocking geometry, structural organization, and application area are highlighted. The review concludes with an outlook on the opportunities and challenges associated with mechanical bonding as a programmable element in crystalline porous materials.
