Effects of varying water adsorption on a Cu3(BTC)2 metal-organic framework (MOF) as studied by 1H and 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy

The process of water adsorption on a dehydrated Cu(3)(BTC)(2) (copper (II) benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxylate) metal-organic framework (MOF) was studied with (1)H and (13)C solid-state NMR. Different relative amounts of water (0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, and 5 mole equivalents with respect to copper) were adsorbed via the gas phase. (1)H and (13)C MAS NMR spectra of dehydrated and water-loaded Cu(3)(BTC)(2) samples gave evidence on the structural changes due to water adsorption within the MOF material as well as information on water dynamics. The analysis of (1)H spinning sideband intensities reveals differences in the (1)H-(63/65)Cu hyperfine coupling between dehydrated and water-loaded samples. The investigation was continued for 60 days to follow the stability of the Cu(3)(BTC)(2) network under humid conditions. NMR data reveal that Cu(3)(BTC)(2) decomposes quite fast with the decomposition being different for different water contents.     

Assembly and properties of transition-metal coordination polymers based on semi-rigid bis-pyridyl-bis-amide ligand: effect of polycarboxylates on the dimensionality

Seven new coordination polymers, [Co()(1,3-BDC)(H(2)O)(3)]·H(2)O (), [Co()(1,2-BDC)(H(2)O)]·H(2)O (), [Co(3)()(1,2,4-BTC)(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·4H(2)O (), [Co()(NPH)]·2H(2)O (), [Cu()(1,3-BDC)] (), [Cu()(1,2-BDC)] (), [Cu()(1,3,5-HBTC)(H(2)O)](2)·2H(2)O () ( = N,N'-bis(pyridin-3-yl)cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxamide, 1,3-H(2)BDC = 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,2-H(2)BDC = 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,2,4-H(3)BTC = 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic acid, H(2)NPH = 3-nitrophthalic acid and 1,3,5-H(3)BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) have been hydrothermally synthesized by assembling transition-metal cobalt-copper salts with semi-rigid bis-pyridyl-bis-amide ligand and different aromatic polycarboxylic acids. Complex exhibits a one-dimensional (1D) sinusoidal-like chain, which is further assembled into a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework through hydrogen-bonding interactions. Complex possesses a 3D framework with 4-connected 6(6) topology, which contains a two-dimensional (2D) distorted asymmetric hexagonal grid. When 1,2,4-BTC is used in complex , a 3D framework with (6(3)·8(2)·10)(2)(6(5)·8)(2)(8) topology is constructed. Complex possesses a 3D framework with 4-connected 6(6) topology, which is similar to that of except for containing a 2D symmetric hexagonal grid. When Co(II) ion is replaced by Cu(II) ion, the 3D framework of complex with (4·6(2))(4·6(6)·8(3)) topology based on and 1,3-BDC ligands is obtained. Complex shows a 2D cross network consisting of a superposed Cu- 1D chain and 1,2-BDC, which is further expanded into a 3D supramolecular framework by hydrogen-bonding interactions. In complex , 1,3,5-HBTC is employed as the auxiliary ligand, and a 3D supramolecular framework based on the undulated 2D layers is formed through π-π stacking and hydrogen-bonding interactions. Both the metal ions and polycarboxylates play important roles in the construction of the title complexes. In addition, the electrochemical behaviors and the fluorescence properties of the seven complexes have been investigated.     

Characterization of the metal-organic framework compound Cu3(benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxylate)2 by means of 129Xe nuclear magnetic and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy

129Xe NMR measurements of adsorbed xenon are shown for the first time to be a suitable tool to characterize the porosity and the properties of the metal-organic framework Cu3(BTC)2(H2O)3 (BTC = benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxylate). The NMR experiments are performed at room temperature and over a wide range of xenon pressure and on two different synthesized Cu3(BTC)2 samples. 129Xe NMR results reveal that in dependence on the kind of the synthesis pathway either one or two signals are observed which can be attributed to two kinds of fast exchange of xenon atoms in two pores with different pore sizes. Coadsorption experiments of xenon and ethylene demonstrate that the xenon atoms prefer to fill the greater pores of the material because the smaller pores are occupied with residual molecules from the synthesis procedure and additionally adsorbed ethylene. Besides the NMR experiments a series of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements are performed to estimate the state of copper having a strong influence on the chemical shift of the adsorbed xenon. The EPR experiments demonstrate that spin exchange between the interconnected copper dimers is taking place across the BTC linker molecules in the Cu3(BTC)2 framework.     

A sodalite-type porous metal-organic framework with polyoxometalate templates: adsorption and decomposition of dimethyl methylphosphonate

A sodalite-type porous metal-organic framework with polyoxometalate templates, H(3)[(Cu(4)Cl)(3)(BTC)(8)](2)[PW(12)O(40)]·(C(4)H(12)N)(6)·3H(2)O (NENU-11; BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate), was obtained by a hydrothermal reaction. As a reasonable candidate for eliminating nerve gas, NENU-11 displays good adsorption behavior for dimethyl methylphosphonate (15.5 molecules per formula unit). In virtue of the catalytic activity of polyoxometalate guests, this nerve gas mimic could be facilely decomposed by a hydrolysis reaction.     

Stability improvement of Cu3(BTC)2 metal-organic frameworks under steaming conditions by encapsulation of a Keggin polyoxometalate

Cu(3)(BTC)(2) with an incorporated Keggin polyoxometalate was demonstrated to be stable under steaming conditions up to 483 K, while the isostructural HKUST-1 degrades and transforms into [Cu(2)OH(BTC)(H(2)O)](n)·2nH(2)O from 343 K onwards.     

Argon adsorption on Cu3(benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate)2(H2O)3 metal-organic framework

Using volumetric adsorption techniques, we have measured the adsorption of argon on Cu3(BTC)2(H2O)3, (BTC = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate), a microporous metal-organic framework structure, at temperatures between 66 and 143 K. In addition to the experiments, we have used Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the adsorption isotherm of argon at 87 K. Our experimental and theoretical results are compared to those of previous studies. The experiments were performed using a high density of points, allowing us to obtain, in detail, the isosteric heat's coverage dependence. Our values from the simulations are in reasonable agreement with those obtained in the experiments.     

Novel electrorheological properties of a metal-organic framework Cu3(BTC)2

Coordination polymers of macrocyclic oxamide with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate: syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties

Solvothermal reactions of mixed ligands H(3)BTC and macrocyclic oxamide complexes (ML, M = Cu, Ni) with M(ClO(4))(2)·6H(2)O (M = Co, Zn, Ni and Cd) afford six new complexes, including [M'(4)(BTC)(2)(ML)(2)(OH)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O (M' = Co, M = Ni, for (1); M' = Zn, M = Ni, for (2); M' = Zn, M = Cu, for (3)), [Ni(3)(BTC)(2)(NiL)(2)(H(2)O)(6)]·2CH(3)OH·2H(2)O (4), [Cd(4)(BTC)(2)(HBTC)(NiL)(4)(H(2)O)]·3H(2)O (5) and [Cd(HBTC)(CuL)]·H(2)O (6) (ML, H(2)L = 2, 3-dioxo-5, 6, 14, 15-dibenzo-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclo-pentadeca-7,13-dien; H(3)BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid). Complexes 1-3 consist of a 2D layer framework formed by the linkage of M(II)(M = Ni, Cu) and M'(4) (M' = Co, Zn) cluster via the oxamide and BTC(3-) bridges and display a (3,6)-connected network with a (4(3))(2)(4(6).6(6).8(3)) topology. The structure of 4 consists of pentanuclear [Ni(II)(5)] units and arranges in a 1D cluster chain. Complex 5 exhibits a 2D layered structure characterized by 3,4,3-connected (4.6(2))(3)(4.6(3).8(2))(4(2).6(3).8)(4(2).6) topology. Complex 6 possesses a 3D network with sra topology. The magnetic properties of complexes 1 and 4 were investigated.     

Cu3(BTC)2: CO oxidation over MOF based catalysts

Crystalline and amorphized MOFs (Cu(3)(BTC)(2)) have been demonstrated to be excellent catalysts for CO oxidation. The catalytic activity can be further improved by loading PdO(2) nanoparticles onto the amorphized Cu(3)(BTC)(2).     

Investigation of the synthesis, activation, and isosteric heats of CO2 adsorption of the isostructural series of metal-organic frameworks M3(BTC)2 (M = Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Mo, Ru)

The synthesis, activation, and heats of CO(2) adsorption for the known members of the M(3)(BTC)(2) (HKUST-1) isostructural series (M = Cr, Fe, Ni, Zn, Ni, Cu, Mo) were investigated to gain insight into the impact of CO(2)-metal interactions for CO(2) storage/separation applications. With the use of modified syntheses and activation procedures, improved BET surface areas were obtained for M = Ni, Mo, and Ru. The zero-coverage isosteric heats of CO(2) adsorption were measured for the Cu, Cr, Ni, Mo, and Ru analogues and gave values consistent with those reported for MOFs containing coordinatively unsaturated metal sites, but lower than for amine functionalized materials. Notably, the Ni and Ru congeners exhibited the highest CO(2) affinities in the studied series. These behaviors were attributed to the presence of residual guest molecules in the case of Ni(3)(BTC)(2)(Me(2)NH)(2)(H(2)O) and the increased charge of the dimetal secondary building unit in [Ru(3)(BTC)(2)][BTC](0.5).

Dynamic and redox active pillared bilayer open framework: single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations upon guest removal, guest exchange, and framework oxidation

A metal-organic pillared bilayer open framework having 3D channels, [Ni(2)(C(26)H(52)N(10))](3)[BTC](4).6C(5)H(5)N.36H(2)O (BOF-1, 1), has been assembled from bismacrocyclic nickel(II) complex [Ni(2)(C(26)H(52)N(10))(Cl)(4)].H(2)O and sodium 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (Na(3)BTC). The channels are occupied by pyridine and water guest molecules. When the single crystal of 1 was dried in air and then heated at 75 degrees C for 1.5 h, respectively, [Ni(2)(C(26)H(52)N(10))](3)[BTC](4).30H(2)O (1') and [Ni(2)(C(26)H(52)N(10))](3)[BTC](4).4H(2)O (2) resulted with retention of the single crystallinity. The X-ray structures reveal spongelike dynamic behavior of the bilayer framework that reduces the interlayer distance in response to the amount of guest molecules. Solid 2 differentiates various alcohols. When 1 was immersed in pyridine and benzene, guest molecules were exchanged with retention of the single-crystal nature to give rise to [Ni(2)(C(26)H(52)N(10))](3)[BTC](4).20pyridine.6H(2)O (3) and [Ni(2)(C(26)H(52)N(10))](3)[BTC](4).14benzene.19H(2)O (4), respectively. Furthermore, crystal 1 reacted with I(2) via single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation to produce [Ni(2)(C(26)H(52)N(10))](3)[C(9)H(3)O(6)](4)(I(3))(4).nI(2).17H(2)O (5) that consists of positively charged framework incorporating nickel(III) and nickel(II) ions and the channels including I(3)(-) and I(2).     

Anionic gallium-based metal-organic framework and its sorption and ion-exchange properties

A gallium-based metal-organic framework Ga(6)(C(9)H(3)O(6))(8)·(C(2)H(8)N)(6)(C(3)H(7)NO)(3)(H(2)O)(26) [1, Ga(6)(1,3,5-BTC)(8)·6DMA·3DMF·26H(2)O], GaMOF-1; BTC = benzenetricarboxylate/trimesic acid and DMA = dimethylamine], with space group I43d, a = 19.611(1) ?, and V = 7953.4(6) ?(3), was synthesized using solvothermal techniques and characterized by synchrotron-based X-ray microcrystal diffraction. Compound 1 contains isolated gallium tetrahedra connected by the organic linker (BTC) forming a 3,4-connected anionic porous network. Disordered positively charged ions and solvent molecules are present in the pore, compensating for the negative charge of the framework. These positively charged molecules could be exchanged with alkali-metal ions, as is evident by an ICP-MS study. The H(2) storage capacity of the parent framework is moderate with a H(2) storage capacity of ~0.5 wt % at 77 K and 1 atm.     

Controlled reactions on a copper surface: synthesis and characterization of nanostructured copper compound films

We report the synthesis of nanostructured copper compound films on a copper surface under mild conditions. A series of low-dimensional structures including Cu(OH)(2) fibers and scrolls, CuO sheets and whiskers, and Cu(2)(OH)(2)CO(3) rods have been successfully grown on the copper surfaces at ambient temperature and pressure. Most of the structures are phase-pure single crystallites. The films were formed by the direct oxidation of copper in aqueous solutions of NaOH with an oxidant (NH(4))(2)S(2)O(8). The evolution of the ultrafine structures as a function of the reaction conditions has been revealed, from fibers of Cu(OH)(2) to scrolls of Cu(OH)(2) to sheets or whiskers of CuO. By replacing NaOH with NaHCO(3) in the synthesis, square/rectangular rod arrays of Cu(2)(OH)(2)CO(3) were obtained. The controlled reactions allow the large-scale, template-free, cost-effective synthesis of copper compound films with ordered, uniform, stable, ultrafine structures.     

Probing the Lewis acidity and catalytic activity of the metal-organic framework [Cu3(btc)2] (BTC=benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate)

An optimized procedure was designed for the preparation of the microporous metal-organic framework (MOF) [Cu3(btc)2] (BTC=benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate). The crystalline material was characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, SEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, N2 sorption, thermogravimetry, and IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO. CO adsorbs on a small number of Cu2O impurities, and particularly on the free CuII coordination sites in the framework. [Cu3(btc)2] is a highly selective Lewis acid catalyst for the isomerization of terpene derivatives, such as the rearrangement of alpha-pinene oxide to campholenic aldehyde and the cyclization of citronellal to isopulegol. By using the ethylene ketal of 2-bromopropiophenone as a test substrate, it was demonstrated that the active sites in [Cu3(btc)2] are hard Lewis acids. Catalyst stability, re-usability, and heterogeneity are critically assessed.     

CuBTC在苯甲醇需氧氧化反应中的催化性能

CuBTC(BTC:1,3,5-均苯三酸)作为一种高效、可重复利用的非均相催化剂,在催化领域有着重要的应用。论文主要研究了在Cu-TEMOP体系下,CuBTC对苯甲醇的需氧氧化反应的催化效果。研究表明,在CuBTC的催化下,多种苯甲醇衍生物被有效的氧化成相应的醛,并且该催化体系有着较高的选择性,能高效氧化伯醇。与传统的均相铜盐催化剂相比,Cu(II)能稳定的固定在CuBTC的刚性结构骨架中,并且催化活性不会降低。但是,羧酸类物质会使CuBTC催化剂中毒,所以CuBTC不适用于原料、产物或者副产物中存在羧酸的反应体系。     

Photoinduced carbon monoxide migration in a synthetic heme-copper complex

Time-resolved infrared (TRIR) flash photolytic techniques have been employed to initiate and observe the efficient dissociation of CO from a synthetic heme-CO/copper complex, [((6)L)Fe(II)(CO)..Cu(I)](+) (2), in CH(3)CN and acetone at room temperature. In CH(3)CN, a significant fraction of the photodissociated CO molecules transiently bind to copper (nu(CO)(Cu) = 2091 cm(-)(1)) giving [((6)L)Fe(II)..Cu(I)(CO)](+) (4), with an observed rate constant, k(1) = 1.5 x 10(5) s(-)(1). That is followed by a slower direct transfer of CO from the copper moiety back to the heme (nu(CO)(Fe) = 1975 cm(-)(1)) with k(2) = 1600 s(-)(1). Additional transient absorption (TA) UV-vis spectroscopic experiments have been performed monitoring the CO-transfer reaction by following the Soret band. Eyring analysis of the temperature-dependent data yields DeltaH(double dagger) = 43.9 kJ mol(-)(1) for the 4-to-2 transformation, similar to that for CO dissociation from [Cu(I)(tmpa)(CO)](+) in CH(3)CN (DeltaH(double dagger) = 43.6 kJ mol(-)(1)), suggesting CO dissociation from copper regulates the binding of small molecules to the heme within [((6)L)Fe(II)..Cu(I)](+)(3). Our observations are analagous to those observed for the heme(a3)/Cu(B) active site of cytochrome c oxidase, where photodissociated CO from the heme(a3) site immediately (ps) transfers to Cu(B) followed by millisecond transfer back to the heme.     

A hybrid consisting of coordination polymer and noncovalent organic networks: a highly ordered 2-D phenol network assembled by edge-to-face pi-pi interactions

A 2-D metal-organic open framework having 1-D channels, [Cu(C(10)H(26)N(6))](3)[C(6)H(3)(COO)(3)](2).18H(2)O (1), was constructed by the self-assembly of the Cu(II) complex of hexaazamacrocycle A (A = C(10)H(26)N(6)) with sodium 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (BTC(3)(-)) in DMSO-H(2)O solution. 1 crystallizes in the trigonal space group P with a = b = 17.705(1) A, c = 6.940(1) A, alpha = beta = 90 degrees, gamma = 120 degrees, V = 1884.0(3) A(3), Z = 1, and rho(calcd) = 1.428 g cm(-3). The X-ray crystal structure of 1 indicates that each Cu(II) macrocyclic unit binds two BTC(3-) ions in a trans position and each BTC(3-) ion coordinates three Cu(II) macrocyclic complexes to form 2-D coordination polymer layers with honeycomb cavities (effective size 8.1 A), and the layers are packed to generate 1-D channels perpendicularly to the 2-D layers. Solid 1 binds guest molecules such as MeOH, EtOH, and PhOH with different binding constant and capacity. By the treatment of 1 with aqueous solution of phenol, a hybrid solid [Cu(C(10)H(26)N(6))](3)[C(6)H(3)(COO)(3)](2).9PhOH.6H(2)O (2) was assembled. 2 crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group with a = b = 20.461(1) A, c = 24.159(1) A, alpha = beta = 90 degrees, gamma = 120 degrees, V = 8759.2(7) A(3), Z = 3, and rho(calcd) = 1.280 g cm(-3). In 2, highly ordered 2-D noncovalent phenol layers are formed by the edge-to-face pi-pi interactions between the phenol molecules and are alternately packed with the coordination polymer layers in the crystal lattice.     

活化温度对CuBTC催化CO氧化反应性能的影响(英文)

考察了金属有机骨架材料CuBTC(BTC为均苯三酸)催化CO氧化的反应性能,发现CuBTC对CO氧化反应表现出良好的催化活性,且CuBTC样品的活化温度对其催化活性的影响很大.原位漫反射红外光谱、粉末X射线衍射、扫描电镜、热重分析和差示扫描量热结果表明,CO在CuBTC骨架中不饱和金属位点上的配位是加速CO氧化的主要原因,且这种不饱和金属位点越多,其催化活性越高.     

Monomeric, tetrameric, and polymeric copper di-tert-butyl phosphate complexes containing pyridine ancillary ligands

The reaction of di-tert-butyl phosphate (((t)BuO)(2)P(O)(OH), dtbp-H) with copper acetate in the presence of pyridine (py) and 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine (collidine) has been investigated. Copper acetate reacts with dtbp-H in a reaction medium containing pyridine, DMSO, THF, and CH(3)OH to yield a one-dimensional polymeric complex [Cu(dtbp)(2)(py)(2)(mu-OH(2))](n) (1) as blue hollow crystalline tubes. The copper atoms in 1 are octahedral and are surrounded by two terminal phosphate ligands, two pyridine molecules, and two bridging water molecules. The mu-OH(2) ligands that are present along the elongated Jahn-Teller axis are responsible for the formation of the one-dimensional polymeric structure. Recrystallization of 1 in a DMSO/THF/CH(3)OH mixture results in the reorganization of the polymer and its conversion to a more stable tetranuclear copper cluster [Cu(4)(mu(3)-OH)(2)(dtbp)(6)(py)(2)] (2) in about 60% yield. The molecular structure of 2 is made up of a tetranuclear core [Cu(4)(mu(3)-OH)(2)] which is surrounded by six bidentate bridging dtbp ligands. While two of the copper atoms are pentacoordinate with a tbp geometry, the other two copper atoms exhibit a pseudooctahedral geometry with five normal Cu-O bonds and an elongated Cu-O linkage. The pentacoordinate copper centers bear an axial pyridine ligand. The short Cu.Cu nonbonded distances in the tetranuclear core of 2 lead to magnetic ordering at low temperature with an antiferromagnetic coupling at approximately 20 K (J(P) = -44 cm(-1), J(c) = -66 cm(-1), g = 2.25, and rho = 0.8%). When the reaction between di-tert-butyl phosphate (dtbp-H) and copper acetate was carried out in the presence of collidine, large dark-blue crystals of monomeric copper complex [Cu(dtbp)(2)(collidine)(2)] (3) formed as the only product. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of 3 reveals a slightly distorted square-planar geometry around the copper atom. Thermogravimetric analysis of 1-3 revealed a facile decomposition of the coordinated ligands and dtbp to produce a copper phosphate material around 500 degrees C. An independent solid-state thermolysis of all the three complexes in bulk at 500-510 degrees C for 2 days produced copper pyrophosphate Cu(2)P(2)O(7) along with small quantities of Cu(PO(3))(2) as revealed by DR-UV spectroscopic and PXRD studies.
