Metal-Organic Frameworks with Novel Catenane-like Interlocking: Metal-Determined Photoresponse and Uranyl Sensing

The assembly of two tripyridinium-tricarboxylate ligands and different metal ions leads to seven isostructural MOFs, which show novel 2D→2D supramolecular entanglement featuring catenane-like interlocking of tricyclic cages. The MOFs show tripyridinium-afforded and metal-modulated photoresponsive properties. The MOFs with d¹⁰ metal centers ( 1-Cd , 1-Zn , 2-Cd , 2-Zn ) show fast and reversible photochromism and concomitant fluorescence quenching, 1-Ni displays slower photochromism but does not fluoresce, and 1-Co and 2-Co are neither photochromic nor fluorescent. It is shown here that the network entanglement dictates donor-acceptor close contacts, which enable fluorescence originated from interligand charge transfer. The contacts also allow photoinduced electron transfer, which underlies photochromism and concomitant fluorescence response. The metal dependence in fluorescence and photochromism can be related to energy transfer through metal-centered d-d transitions. In addition, 1-Cd is demonstrated to be a potential fluorescence sensor for sensitive and selective detection of UO₂²⁺ in water.     

Reticular Chemistry of Uranyl Phosphonates: Sterically Hindered Phosphonate Ligand Method is Significant for Constructing Zero-Dimensional Secondary Building Units

Designability is an attractive feature for metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and essential for reticular chemistry, and many ideas are significantly useful in the carboxylate system. Bi-, tri-, and tetra-topic phosphonate ligands are used to achieve framework structures. However, an efficient method for designing phosphonate MOFs is still on the way, especially for uranyl phosphonates, owing to the complicated coordination modes of the phosphonate group. Uranyl phosphonates prefer layer or pillar-layered structures as the topology extension for uranyl units occurs in the plane perpendicular to the linear uranium-oxo bonds and phosphonate ligands favor the formation of compact structures. Therefore, an approach that can construct three-dimensional (3D) uranyl phosphonate MOFs is desired. In this paper, a sterically hindered phosphonate ligand method (SHPL) is described and is successfully used to achieve 3D framework structures of uranyl phosphonates. Four MOF compounds ([AMIM]₂(UO₂)(TppmH₄) ⋅ H₂O ( UPF-101 ), [BMMIM]₂(UO₂)₃(TppmH₄)₂ ⋅ H₂O ( UPF-102 ), [Py14]₂(UO₂)₃(TppmH₄)₂ ⋅ 3 H₂O ( UPF-103 ), and [BMIM](UO₂)₃(TppmH₃)F₂ ⋅ 2 H₂O ( UPF-104 ); [AMIM]=1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium, [BMMIM]=1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium, [Py14]=N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium, and [BMIM]=1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) are obtained by ionothermal synthesis, with zero-dimensional nodes of uranyl phosphonates linked by steric tetra-topic ligands, namely tetrakis[4-(dihyroxyphosphoryl)phenyl]methane (TppmH₈), to give 3D framework structures. Characterization by PXRD, UV/Vis, IR, Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry (TG) were also performed.

Divergent Chemistry Paths for 3D and 1D Metallo-Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs)

The marriage of dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) and coordination chemistry is a powerful tool for assembling complex architectures from simple building units. Recently, the synthesis of woven covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with topologically fascinating structures has been achieved using this approach. However, the scope is highly limited and there is a need to discover new pathways that can assemble covalently linked organic threads into crystalline frameworks. Herein, we have identified branching pathways leading to the assembly of three-dimensional (3D) woven COFs or one-dimensional (1D) metallo-COFs (mCOFs), where the mechanism is underpinned by the absence or presence of ligand exchange.     

金属有机骨架材料-核酸适配体荧光法检测沙门氏菌

基于金属有机骨架材料(Uio-66-NH2)的荧光猝灭特性以及对核酸适配体的吸附性,结合核酸适配体的高亲和力与高特异性识别能力,构建了针对沙门氏菌检测的荧光生物传感器,当有荧光素修饰的沙门氏菌、适配体被材料吸附到表面时,由于材料诱导电子转移猝灭了荧光素的荧光,若溶液中存在沙门氏菌,则沙门氏菌与其适配体特异性结合后从材料表面脱附,材料与荧光素之间的电子转移过程被切断,荧光素的荧光恢复。基于此原理构建的荧光传感器的信号与沙门氏菌浓度的对数在101~105cfu/m L范围内呈良好的线性关系,检出限(S/N=3)为7 cfu/m L,将该方法用于虾肉样品中沙门氏菌的检测,加标回收率为90.0%~108.0%,该传感器对沙门氏菌有较好的选择性与灵敏度。

Fluorescent Cadmium Bipillared-Layer Open Frameworks: Synthesis,Structures, Sensing of Nitro Compounds,and Capture of Volatile Iodine

Fluorescent Cd metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), [Cd₂(dicarboxylate)₂(NI-bpy-44)₂] (dicarboxylate=benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (1,4-bdc, 1 ), 2-bromobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (Br-1,4-bdc, 2 ), 2-nitrobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (NO₂-1,4-bdc, 3 ), biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate (bpdc, 4 ); NI-bpy-44=N-(pyridin-4-yl)-4-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,8-naphthalimide)), featuring non- and twofold interpenetrating pcu -type bipillared-layer open structures with sufficient free voids of 58.4, 51.4, 51.5, and 41.4 %, respectively, have been hydro(solvo)thermally synthesized. MOFs 1 – 4 emitted solid-state blue or cyan fluorescence emissions at 447±7 nm, which mainly arose from NI-bpy-44 and are dependent on the incorporated solvents. After immersing the crystalline samples in different solvents, that is, H₂O and DMSO ( 1 and 2 ) as well as nitrobenzene and phenol ( 1 – 4 ), they exhibited a remarkable fluorescence quenching effect, whereas o-xylene and p-xylene ( 4 ) caused significant fluorescence enhancement. The sensing ability of MOFs 1 – 4 toward nitro compounds carried out in the vapor phase showed that nitrobenzene and 2-nitrophenol displayed detectable fluorescence quenching with 1 , 2 , and 4 whereas 4-nitrotoluene was an effective fluorescence quencher for 1 and 2 ; this is most likely attributed to their electron-deficient properties and higher vapor pressures. Moreover, MOFs 1 – 4 are highly reusable for quick capture of volatile iodine, as supported by clear crystal color change and also by immense fluorescence quenching responses owing to the donor–acceptor interaction. Low-pressure CO₂ adsorption isotherms indicate that activated materials 1′ – 4′ are inefficient at taking up CO₂.     

Bismuth(III) based Metal Organic Frameworks: Luminescence,Gas Adsorption,and Antibacterial Studies

Bi^III‐MOFs 1 – 4 were prepared via solvothermal method using four organic linkers; 2‐mercapto‐3‐methyl‐4‐thiazoleacetic acid (H₂MMTA), 2,6‐naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (2,6‐NDA), 4,6‐dihydroxy‐2‐mercaptopyrimidine (H₂DMP), and 4‐mercaptobenzoic acid (H₂MBA), respectively. The resulting MOFs were structurally/morphologically characterized by UV/Vis, AAS/ICP‐MS, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), ¹H NMR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and powder X‐ray diffraction technique. All these MOFs showed good luminescence properties exhibiting blue luminescence. N₂ gas adsorption isotherms of 1 – 4 confirmed the porosity of these frameworks. In order to evaluate the effect of metal ion upon chelation, the free organic linkers and respective MOFs were screened for their antibacterial potential against some pathogenic bacteria and appreciable activity was observed.     

Self‐Assembly versus Stepwise Synthesis: Heterometal–Organic Frameworks Based on Metalloligands with Tunable Luminescence Properties

A new family of heterometal–organic frameworks has been prepared by two synthesis strategies, in which IFMC‐26 and IFMC‐27 are constructed by self‐assembly and IFMC‐28 is obtained by stepwise synthesis based on the metalloligand (IFMC=Institute of Functional Material Chemistry). IFMC‐26 is a (3,6)‐connected net and IFMC‐27 is a (4,8)‐connected 3D framework. The metalloligands {Ni(H₄L)}(NO₃)₂ are connected by binuclear lanthanide clusters giving rise to a 2D sheet structure in IFMC‐28 . Notably, IFMC‐26‐Eu _x Tb _y and IFMC‐28‐Eu _x Tb _y have been obtained by changing the molar ratios of raw materials. Owing to the porosity of IFMC‐26 , Tb³⁺@IFMC‐26‐Eu and Eu³⁺@IFMC‐26‐Tb are obtained by postencapsulating Tb^III and Eu^III ions into the pores, respectively. Tunable luminescence in metal–organic frameworks is achieved by the two kinds of doping methods. In particular, the quantum yields of heterometal–organic frameworks are apparently enhanced by postencapsulation of Ln^III ions.

Hydrothermal Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Luminescent Properties of Two Zinc(II) and Cadmium(II) 3D Metal‐­Organic Frameworks

Two zinc(II) and cadmium(II) metal‐organic frameworks with mixed ligands, {[Zn₂(biim‐4)₂(TDC)₂] · 2.5H₂O}_n ( 1 ) and {[Cd₂(biim‐4)₂(TDC)₂ · 2H₂O]}_n ( 2 ) [biim‐4 = 1,1′‐(1,4‐butanediyl)bis(imidazole); H₂TDC = thiophene‐2,5‐dicarboxylic acid], were hydrothermally synthesized. Both of them are characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single crystal X‐ray diffraction. In 1 , the four‐connected Zn^II nodes are connected by four linear ligands extending into a 3D network, which further integrates a fivefold interpenetrating diamond 3D topological network and the free water molecules distribute in void space, whereas in 2 , the Cd^II ions are in a distorted octahedral arrangement linked by TDC^2– and biim‐4 ligands to construct a 3D framework. In topology analysis, C11 and C14 are simplified as 3‐connected nodes and the 3D framework displays a (3,5)‐connected net. Furthermore, the thermal and photoluminescent properties of 1 and 2 were also studied.     

Crystalline Capsules: Metal–Organic Frameworks Locked by Size‐Matching Ligand Bolts

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are shown to be good examples of a new class of crystalline porous materials for guest encapsulation. Since the encapsulation/release of guest molecules in MOF hosts is a reversible process in nature, how to prevent the leaching of guests from the open pores with minimal and nondestructive modifications of the structure is a critical issue. To address this issue, we herein propose a novel strategy of encapsulating guests by introducing size‐matching organic ligands as bolts to lock the pores of the MOFs through deliberately anchoring onto the open metal sites in the pores. Our proposed strategy provides a mechanical way to prevent the leaching of guests and thereby has less dependence on the specific chemical environment of the hosts, thus making it applicable for a wide variety of existing MOFs once the size‐matching ligands are employed.
