Abstract

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) (TCNE = tetracyanoethylene) can be desolvated to generate a room-temperature microporous magnet. The solution-phase reaction of V(CO) with TCNE yields V(TCNE) ·0.95CH Cl , for which a characteristic temperature of * = 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) , which exhibits a * value of 590 K and permanent microporosity (Langmuir surface area of 850 m /g). The porous structure of V(TCNE) is accessible to the small gas molecules H , N , O , CO , ethane, and ethylene. While V(TCNE) exhibits thermally activated electron transfer with O , all the other studied gases engage in physisorption. The * value of V(TCNE) is slightly modulated upon adsorption of H ( * = 583 K) or CO ( * = 596 K), while it decreases more significantly upon ethylene insertion ( * = 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.
