Molecular rotors arranged in the surface-anchored metal-organic frameworks (SURMOF) were investigated. The rotating part of each linker molecule consists of a fluorine-substituted phenyl group connected with acetylene linkages to the Cu clusters. Dielectric spectroscopy was used to investigate the rotation dynamics of molecular rotors in a parallel capacitor assembly. We determined an activation energy of 10 kJ/mol for one SURMOF type consisting of 3-[4-(2-carboxyethynyl)-2,3-difluoro-phenyl]prop-2-ynoic acid (C12H4F2O4) as dipolar linkers and 1,4-diazabicyclo(2.2.2)octane (DABCO) as pillars, at temperatures above 170 K. A smaller barrier of about 2 kJ/mol was found for the corresponding SURMOFs without any pillars. The analog made from the non-polar linker was used as a control system and showed no dielectric relaxation processes down to 20 K. The observed activation energy barriers are consistent with ab initio DFT modelling and classical dipole-dipole interaction calculations.
