气态碘在COF-103上吸附的理论研究

采用第一性原理和巨正则蒙特卡罗方法,模拟研究了气态碘分子(I₂)在共价有机框架材料(COF-103)中的吸附行为,并讨论了气态氧化物、氯化物和挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)等杂质气体的竞争吸附影响.结果表明,I₂偏向以垂直方式吸附于COF-103苯环的碳原子位,其中,长程色散相互作用具有重要的贡献,色散能在吸附能中的占比最多可达46%.I₂与COF-103之间存在少量电荷转移,且可能形成具有弱共价相互作用的次级键.杂质气体中苯分子(C₆H₆)的吸附能和等量吸附热最大,与COF-103的亲和性最强,并且可以占据I₂的吸附位点,从而引起I₂吸附量的显著降低.     

二维共价有机框架材料中引入含氮配体用于络合金属催化

共价有机骨架材料(COF)也被称为“有机分子筛”,具有孔道结构开放有序、易于进行化学修饰改性、化学/热稳定性好等优点,是一种新型的有机聚合物多孔材料.近年来,以COF材料为催化剂载体负载金属化合物用于制备多相反应催化剂已经成为材料领域研究的热点,表现出高活性和高选择性.但是到目前为止,仍未找到简单有效地控制骨架中金属负载量和分散性的方法,这已成为该领域一个具有挑战性的课题.
　　本文以2,2’-联吡啶-5,5’-二甲醛作为其中一个结构基元,成功把联吡啶配体引入到二维材料中.除此之外,由于COF是以亚胺键联接构筑形成的,因此框架中同时存在联吡啶和亚胺键两种含氮配体.我们通过红外光谱、结构模拟、元素分析、热失重分析、透射电镜(TEM)、X-射线光电子能谱、电感耦合等离子体色谱等手段详细表征了所制备的二维共价有机框架材料对醋酸钯(Pd(OAc)2)分子的络合负载行为.
　　研究发现,联吡啶和亚胺键均可参与配位Pd(OAc)2,与亚胺键配位的Pd(OAc)2分布于框架的层与层之间,而与联吡啶配位的则部分占据了框架的孔道,导致孔径减小.另外,由于框架中的联吡啶配体含量可通过加入2,2’-联吡啶-5,5’-二甲醛含量的变化实现线性调控,因此也可调节与其配位的Pd(OAc)2含量,其负载量可控制在14.3–18.7 wt%,是目前已报道的二维COF中的最高值;另外, COF材料中调控金属负载量尚未见报道. TEM结果显示,负载在框架中的催化剂分子没有发生团聚,框架的孔道仍处于开放状态,因而反应底物可以自由地出入一维孔道并与络合的催化剂充分接触.另外,由于催化剂在框架内部可以达到分子级别的分散,而且其负载量和负载位置都易于控制,因而对有机反应表现出了优异的催化性能.
　　我们尝试了以不同Pd负载量的COF为多相催化剂催化Heck反应.结果发现, Pd(II)@75%BPy COF(Pd负载量为最高值18.7 wt%)的催化活性最高,对不同底物均表现出优异的催化性能,产率达73–96%,反应速率遵循一级动力学曲线.且催化剂经多次循环利用仍能保持高活性,框架的有序结构也未被破坏,因此该材料有望用于各种类型优异的多相反应催化剂.

MOF-COF框架杂化材料

金属有机框架(MOF)和共价有机框架(COF)材料是两种多孔的晶态材料,具备较大的比表面积、高的孔隙率,结构合成修饰方法丰富,因此在析氢、析氧、CO₂还原、有机物降解、气体分离等多个方面都有应用前景。但MOF、COF自身仍有许多缺点,如MOF在水溶液中不稳定,结构易塌陷,COF无金属节点,功能较简单,催化性能有待进一步提高等。近年来,MOF-COF核壳杂化材料结合两种材料的优势解决各自的一些缺陷,有广泛的应用潜力,作为新的发展方向受到了关注。本文从MOF-COF杂化材料的类型、合成方法、应用等三个方面综述了近些年来MOF-COF材料的发展状况,并做出了展望。     

金属-有机骨架材料中吸附气体的扩散速率

采用分子动力学方法,以甲烷为探针分子研究了不同压力条件下气体在具有不同孔道结构的金属-有机骨架材料(MOFs)中的扩散速率.通过计算气体在八种材料中的自扩散系数,并结合气体分子在材料中的质心分布图等,讨论了气体扩散速率与孔道结构之间的关系.研究结果表明:对于同时含有孔笼(pocket)和三维正交孔道(channel)结构的MOF材料(P-C材料),低压时甲烷气体吸附在孔笼结构中,随着压力的升高,气体分子开始进入正交孔道,同时其自扩散系数增加;而对于只含有三维立方孔道结构的IRMOF(isoreticular MOF)系列材料,在中低压范围内,气体分子在其中的自扩散系数随压力变化较小.当压力进一步升高时,气体分子在材料孔道中的吸附逐渐接近饱和,其自扩散系数均降低.因此,在不同MOF材料中气体分子扩散速率的差异主要取决于孔道结构的不同.对P-C材料,中低压下通过控制压力可以控制气体在其中的扩散速率,从而为MOF材料在气体存储、分离等方面的实际应用提供参考信息.

Study of Intermolecular Reconfiguration of Flexible COF-5 Film and Its Ultra-high Chemiresistive Humidity Sensitivity

Recently, abundant active materials are developed to achieve the wearable detection of human body humidity. However, the limited response signal and sensitivity restrict further application due to their moderate affinity to water. Herein, we propose a flexible COF-5 film synthesized by a brief vapor-assisted method at room temperature. Intermediates are calculated by DFT simulation to investigate the interaction between COF-5 and water. The adsorption and desorption of water molecule result in a reversible deformation of COF layers while creating new conductive path by π–π stacking. The as-prepared COF-5 films are applied to the flexible humidity sensors, exhibiting a resistance change in 4 orders of magnitude with remarkable linear relation between log function of resistance and relative humidity (RH) in 11 %–98 % RH range. Applications including respiratory monitoring and non-contact switch are tested, providing a promising prospect for the detection of human body humidity.     

Mesoporous 2D covalent organic frameworks based on shape-persistent arylene-ethynylene macrocycles

Macrocycle-to-framework strategy was explored to prepare covalent organic frameworks (COFs) using shape-persistent macrocycles as multitopic building blocks. We demonstrate well-ordered mesoporous 2D COFs (AEM–COF-1 and AEM–COF-2) can be constructed from tritopic arylene-ethynylene macrocycles, which determine the topology and modulate the porosity of the materials. According to PXRD analysis and computer modelling study, these COFs adopt the fully eclipsed AA stacking mode with large accessible pore sizes of 34 or 39 Å, which are in good agreement with the values calculated by NLDFT modelling of gas adsorption isotherms. The pore size of COFs can be effectively expanded by using larger size of the macrocycles. Provided a plethora of polygonal shape-persistent macrocycles with various size, shape and internal cavity, macrocycle-to-framework strategy opens up a promising approach to expand the structural diversity of COFs and build hierarchical pore structures within the framework.     

Covalent organic frameworks as exceptional hydrogen storage materials

We report the H2 uptake properties of six covalent organic frameworks (COFs) from first-principles-based grand canonical Monte-Carlo simulations. The predicted H2 adsorption isotherm is in excellent agreement with the only available experimental result (3.3 vs 3.4 wt % at 50 bar and 77 K for COF-5), also reported here, validating the predictions. We predict that COF-105 and COF-108 lead to a reversible excess H2 uptake of 10.0 wt % at 77 K, making them the best known storage materials for molecular hydrogen at 77 K. We predict that the total H2 uptake for COF-108 is 18.9 wt % at 77 K. COF-102 shows the best volumetric performance, storing 40.4 g/L of H2 at 77 K. These results indicate that the COF systems are most promising candidates for practical hydrogen storage.     

A Porous Crystalline Nitrone-Linked Covalent Organic Framework**

Herein, we report the synthesis of a nitrone-linked covalent organic framework, COF-115, by combining N, N′, N′, N′′′-(ethene-1, 1, 2, 2-tetrayltetrakis(benzene-4, 1-diyl))tetrakis(hydroxylamine) and terephthaladehyde via a polycondensation reaction. The formation of the nitrone functionality was confirmed by solid-state ¹³C multi cross-polarization magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy of the ¹³C-isotope-labeled COF-115 and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The permanent porosity of COF-115 was evaluated through low-pressure N₂, CO₂, and H₂ sorption experiments. Water vapor and carbon dioxide sorption analysis of COF-115 and the isoreticular imine-linked COF indicated a superior potential of N-oxide-based porous materials for atmospheric water harvesting and CO₂ capture applications. Density functional theory calculations provided valuable insights into the difference between the adsorption properties of these COFs. Lastly, photoinduced rearrangement of COF-115 to the associated amide-linked material was successfully demonstrated.     

Reticular synthesis of covalent organic borosilicate frameworks

This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of a new crystalline 3D covalent organic framework, COF-202: [C(C6H4)4]3[B3O6 (tBuSi)2]4, formed from condensation of a divergent boronic acid, tetra(4-dihydroxyborylphenyl)methane, and tert-butylsilane triol, tBuSi(OH)3. This framework is constructed through strong covalent bonds (Si-O, B-O) that link triangular and tetrahedral building units to form a structure based on the carbon nitride topology. COF-202 demonstrates high thermal stability, low density, and high porosity with a surface area of 2690 m2 g-1. The design and synthesis of COF-202 expand the type of linkage that could be used to crystallize new materials with extended covalent organic frameworks.     

Adsorption and diffusion of nitrogen, methane and carbon dioxide in aluminophosphate molecular sieve AlPO4-11

The knowledge about the adsorption and diffusion properties (specially about diffusion) of aluminophosphate molecular sieves is very scarce in the literature. These materials offer interesting properties as adsorbents as they have a polar framework and do not contain charge-balancing cations. In this work, the adsorption isotherms of nitrogen, methane and carbon dioxide over an AlPO₄-11 sample synthesized in our laboratories have been measured with a volumetric method at 25, 35, 50 and 65 °C over a pressure range up to 110 kPa. The adsorption capacities of each gas are determined by the strength of interaction with the pore surface (carbon dioxide > methane > nitrogen). The equilibrium selectivity to carbon dioxide is quite high with respect to other adsorbents without cations due to the polarity of the aluminophosphate framework. The adsorption Henry’s law constants and diffusion time constants of nitrogen, methane and carbon dioxide in the synthesized AlPO₄-11 material have been measured from pulse experiments. A pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process for recovering methane from a carbon dioxide/methane mixture (resembling biogas) has been designed using a dynamic model where the measured adsorption equilibrium and kinetic information has been incorporated. The simulation results show that the proposed process could be simpler than other PSA processes for biogas upgrading based on cation-containing molecular sieves such as 13X zeolite, as it can treat the biogas at atmospheric pressure, and it requires a lower pressure ratio, to produce high purity methane with high recovery.     

Covalent Organic Framework (COF-1) under High Pressure

COF-1 has a structure with rigid 2D layers composed of benzene and B₃O₃ rings and weak van der Waals bonding between the layers. The as-synthesized COF-1 structure contains pores occupied by solvent molecules. A high surface area empty-pore structure is obtained after vacuum annealing. High-pressure XRD and Raman experiments with mesitylene-filled (COF-1-M) and empty-pore COF-1 demonstrate partial amorphization and collapse of the framework structure above 12–15 GPa. The ambient pressure structure of COF-1-M can be reversibly recovered after compression up to 10–15 GPa. Remarkable stability of highly porous COF-1 structure at pressures at least up to 10 GPa is found even for the empty-pore structure. The bulk modulus of the COF-1 structure (11.2(5) GPa) and linear incompressibilities (k_[100]=111(5) GPa, k_[001]=15.0(5) GPa) were evaluated from the analysis of XRD data and cross-checked against first-principles calculations.     

Separation and permeation characteristics of a DD3R zeolite membrane

Permeation of various gases (carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, nitrogen, oxygen, argon, krypton, neon) and their equimolar mixtures through DD3R membranes have been investigated over a temperature range of 220–373 K and a feed pressure of 101–400 kPa. Helium was used as sweep gas at atmospheric pressure. Adsorption isotherms were determined in the temperature range 195–298 K, and modelled by a single and dual site Langmuir model. The permeation flux is determined by the size of the molecule relative to the window opening of DD3R, and its adsorption behaviour. As a function of temperature, bulky molecules (methane) show activated permeation, weakly adsorbing molecules decreasing permeation behaviour and strongly adsorbing molecules pass through a maximum. Counter diffusion of the sweep gas (helium) ranged from almost zero up to the order of the feed gas permeation and was strongly influenced by the adsorption of the feed gas.

DD3R membranes have excellent separation performance for carbon dioxide/methane mixtures (selectivity 100–3000), exhibit good selectivity for nitrogen/methane (20–45), carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide/air (20–400), and air/krypton (5–10) and only a modest selectivity for oxygen/nitrogen (2) separation. The selectivity of mixtures of a strongly and a weakly adsorbing component decreased with increasing temperature and pressure. The selectivity of mixtures of weakly adsorbing components was independent of pressure.

The permeation and separation characteristics of light gases through DD3R membranes can be explained by taking into account: (1) steric effects introduced by the window opening of DD3R leading to molecular sieving and activated transport, (2) competitive adsorption effects, as observed for mixtures involving strongly adsorbing gases, and (3) interaction between diffusing molecules in the cages of the zeolite.     

离子型共价有机框架材料的制备及对染料吸附性能的研究

茜素红(Alizarin Red,AR)作为蒽醌类染料中的重要组成,由于其具有优异的特性,在染料和酸碱指示剂等方面被广泛使用。但是AR具有毒性高、结构复杂以及化学需氧量(COD)值大等原因,使其成为了主要污染物之一,去除水体中的茜素红染料污染物已经成为了目前亟待解决的问题。共价有机框架材料作为一种新型的多孔有机材料,由于其具有比表面积大,孔径均一和可设计的独特优势,已经广泛应用吸附和分离等方面。因此,以三醛基间苯三酚和溴化乙锭为构筑单元,通过水热的方法合成一种二维离子型共价有机框架材料(TpEB-COF)。对制备的TpEB-COF进行相关表征,包括X射线衍射仪(XRD),扫描电镜(SEM)和能量色散谱仪(EDS)等。然后将制备的TpEB-COF作为固体吸附剂,将其应用对水中AR的吸附,研究了不同吸附时间和不同pH值对吸附过程的影响。实验结果证明制备的离子型共价有机框架材料具有良好的晶型结构。同时,对实验数据分析表明,离子型共价有机框架材料对于茜素红的吸附符合准二级动力学方程和Langmuir吸附模型,吸附效率为82.8%,最大吸附量为828 mg g-1。本研究不仅为共价有机框架材料的设计和合成奠定坚实的基础,而且拓展了离子型共价有机框架材料的应用范围,促进共价有机框架材料的发展。     

A density functional theory for Lennard-Jones fluids in cylindrical pores and its applications to adsorption of nitrogen on MCM-41 materials

A density functional theory (DFT) constructed from the modified fundamental-measure theory and the modified Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation of state is presented. The Helmholtz free energy functional due to attractive interaction is expressed as a functional of attractive weighted-density in which the weight function is a mean-field-like type. An obvious advantage of the present theory is that it reproduces accurate bulk properties such as chemical potential, bulk pressure, vapor-liquid interfacial tension, and so forth when compared with molecular simulations and experiments with the same set of molecular parameters. Capabilities of the present DFT are demonstrated by its applicability to adsorption of argon and nitrogen on, respectively, a model cylindrical pore and mesoporous MCM-41 materials. Comparison of the theoretical results of argon in the model cylindrical pore with those from the newly published molecular simulations indicates that the present DFT predicts accurate average densities in the pore, slightly overestimates the pore pressure, and correctly describes the effect of the fluid-pore wall interaction on average densities and pressures in the pore. Application to adsorption of nitrogen on MCM-41 at 77.4 K shows that the present DFT predicts density profiles and adsorption isotherms in good agreement with those from molecular simulations and experiments. In contrast, the hysteresis loop of adsorption calculated from the mean-field theory shifts toward the low pressure region because a low bulk saturated pressure is produced from the mean-field equation of state. The present DFT offers a good way to describe the adsorption isotherms of porous materials as a function of temperature and pressure.
