Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are mainly synthesized via recrystallization from solutions that contain molecular building blocks; however, this is not an infallible strategy. For example, the formation of hydrogen bonds between blocks and molecules crystallization solvent may prevent construction frameworks. Herein, we propose a guest-exchange-based strategy for converting non-HOF crystals to HOFs. Specifically, bis(benzimidazole)ZnCl2 complex 1 (bis(benzimidazole) = phenylbis(benzimidazol-2-yl)methane) obtained its N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution (12·(DMF)5) were converted HOF exchange DMF acetone or tetrahydrofuran by exposing 12·(DMF)5 corresponding vapor. Interestingly, complete guest always required, which further emphasizes convenience guest-exchange in synthesis. We also demonstrate can serve as adsorber diethyl-ether vapors.
