This perspective explores the idea of using mechanical bonds in the design and construction of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials. We provide examples of how and why mechanical bonds have been used in MOFs to date and examine different ways the mechanical bond can be incorporated into a MOF linker. Furthermore, we suggest ways that linkers with mechanical bonds could be used for the creation of MOFs with interesting topologies and properties dictated by the interlocked nature and dynamics of the mechanical bond.

将机械键集成到金属有机框架中

该观点探讨了在金属有机框架（MOF）材料的设计和构造中使用机械键的想法。我们提供了迄今为止如何以及为何在MOF中使用机械键的示例，并研究了将机械键合并到MOF接头中的不同方法。此外，我们提出了将具有机械键的接头用于产生具有有趣拓扑和特性的MOF的方法，这些拓扑和特性是由机械键的互锁性质和动力学决定的。
