Armed with the above method, the development and advancement of dynamic chemistry and condensed matter chemistry are intertwined. This interplay involves several new parameters related to periodicity, disorderliness and chaos of MOFs. New transition dimensions beyond traditional crystal-crystal transition will emerge. These dimensions involve the order-to-disorder transitions via perturbation or melting of crystals, the disorder-to-disorder transition via glass transition or quenching from liquid, the disorder-to-order transition via heat-treatment induced re-crystallization or solvent induced crystallinity recovery, respectively (Figure 3a). These findings propel the dynamic chemistry of MOFs into a new epoch. By leveraging novel multi-phase evolutions, they lay a foundation rife with opportunities for the creation and fine regulation of desired functionalities in future porous materials.
