Abstract
Reversible encapsulation of CH2Cl2 or Xe in a non-porous solid-state molecular organometallic framework of [Rh(Cy2PCH2PCy2)(NBD)][BArF4] occurs in single-crystal to single-crystal transformations. These processes are probed by solid-state NMR spectroscopy, including 129Xe SSNMR. Non-covalent interactions with the -CF3 groups, and hydrophobic channels formed, of [BArF4]− anions are shown to be important, and thus have similarity to the transport of substrates and products to and from the active site in metalloenzymes.
