Solvatochromism as a probe to observe the solvent exchange process in a 1-D porous coordination polymer with 1-D solvent accessible channels

Abstract

possesses pleochroic properties. Solvent exchange with acetonitrile and nitromethane reveals that single crystals of the PCP are also solvatochromic, with the solvent exchange process occurring in an unexpected double V-shaped pattern. Crystal surface adsorption modeling shows that the origin of this effect is preferential sorption at two faces of the crystal.
