Popis: Materials that simultaneously exhibit permanent porosity and high-temperature magnetic order could lead to advances in fundamental physics and numerous emerging technologies. Herein, we show that the archetypal molecule-based magnet and magnonic material V(TCNE)2 (TCNE = tetracyanoethylene) can be desolvated to generate a room-temperature microporous magnet. The solution-phase reaction of V(CO)6 with TCNE yields V(TCNE)2·0.95CH2Cl2, for which a characteristic temperature of T* = 646 K is estimated from a Bloch fit to variable-temperature magnetization data. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure affords the activated compound V(TCNE)2, which exhibits a T* value of 590 K and permanent microporosity (Langmuir surface area of 850 m2/g). The porous structure of V(TCNE)2 is accessible to the small gas molecules H2, N2, O2, CO2, ethane, and ethylene. While V(TCNE)2 exhibits thermally activated electron transfer with O2, all the other studied gases engage in physisorption. The T* value of V(TCNE)2 is slightly modulated upon adsorption of H2 (T* = 583 K) or CO2 (T* = 596 K), while it decreases more significantly upon ethylene insertion (T* = 459 K). These results provide an initial demonstration of microporosity in a room-temperature magnet and highlight the possibility of further incorporation of small-molecule guests, potentially even molecular qubits, toward future applications.
