Abstract

Disclosed are adsorption complexes that include 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and a metal coordination polymer network (MCPN), wherein the MCPN is a porous material, and the 1-MCP is adsorbed into the MCPN. Also disclosed are kits for containing 1-MCP that include the adsorption complex in a 1-MCP-impermeable package. Also disclosed are methods of releasing 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) from the kit that include the application of aqueous fluids, heat, and/or pressure.

First claim

wherein the 1-MCP is adsorbed to a surface of the MCPN.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the surface of the MCPN is a surface defining a pore in the MCPN.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the surface of the MCPN is a surface outside of a pore in the MCPN.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MCPN is [Ca(4,4′-sulfonyldibenzoate).H 2 O].

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MCPN is Cu-2,4,6-tris(3,5-dicarboxylphenylamino)-1,3,5-triazine).

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MCPN is Zn 2( tcbpe) (wherein tcbpe is a reaction product of tetra-(4-bromo-phenyl)ethylene (tpe-Br) and 4-(methoxycarbonyl) phenylboronic acid).

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MCPN is [Zn 2 (biphenyldicarboxylate) 2 (1,2-bipyridylethene)].2DMF.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MCPN is Mg 3 (O 2 C—C 10 —H 6 —CO 2 ) 3 .

9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MCPN is aluminum terephthalate.

10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MCPN is Cu 3 (benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) 2 .

11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MCPN is Fe(1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate).

12. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MCPN is 2-methylimidazole zinc salt.

13. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MCPN is Co(2-methylimidazole) 2 .

14. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MCPN is Al(OH)fumarate.

15. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MCPN is magnesium formate.

16. The composition of claim 15 , wherein the surface of the MCPN is a surface defining a pore in the MCPN.

17. The composition of claim 15 , wherein the surface of the MCPN is a surface outside of a pore in the MCPN.

18. A kit for containing 1-MCP, the kit comprising the composition of claim 1 and a 1-MCP-impermeable package,
wherein the 1-MCP-impermeable package contains the composition, and
wherein the 1-MCP-impermeable package is a barrier through which 1-MCP cannot pass.

19. The kit of claim 18 , wherein the surface of the MCPN is a surface defining a pore in the MCPN.

20. The kit of claim 18 , wherein the surface of the MCPN is a surface outside of a pore in the MCPN.

21. The kit of claim 18 , wherein the MCPN is magnesium formate.

22. A kit for containing 1-MCP, the kit comprising the composition of claim 1 and a unit formulation containing the composition, wherein the unit formulation is selected from the group consisting of a tablet, a capsule, and a sachet.

23. The kit of claim 22 , wherein the surface of the MCPN is a surface defining a pore in the MCPN.

24. The kit of claim 22 , wherein the surface of the MCPN is a surface outside of a pore in the MCPN.
