- Catalytic Performance and Electrophoretic Behavior of an Yttrium-Organic Framework Based on a Tricarboxylic Asymmetric Alkyne
-
A new Y-based metal-organic framework (MOF) GR-MOF-6 with a chemical formula of {[YL(DMF)2]·(DMF)}n {H3L = 5-[(4-carboxyphenyl)ethynyl] isophthalic acid; DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide} has been prepared by a solvothermal route. Structural characterization reveals that this novel material is a three-dimensional MOF in which the coordination of the tritopic ligand to Y(III) metal ions leads to an intercrossing channel system extending over three dimensions. This material has proven to be a very efficient catalyst in the cyanosilylation of carbonyls, ranking second in catalytic activity among the reported rare earth metal-based MOFs described so far but with the lowest required catalyst loading. In addition, its electrophoretic behavior has been studied in depth, providing a zero-charge point between pH 4 and 5, a peak electrophoretic mobility of -1.553 μm cm V-1 s-1, and a ζ potential of -19.8 mV at pH 10.

- Two isostructural URJC-4 materials: From hydrogen physisorption to heterogeneous reductive amination through hydrogen molecule activation at low pressure
-
Herein, two novel isostructural metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) M-URJC-4 (M = Co, Ni; URJC = "Universidad Rey Juan Carlos") with open metal sites, permanent microposity, and large surface areas and pore volumes have been developed. These novel MOFs, with polyhedral morphology, crystallize in the monoclinic P21/c space group, exhibiting a three-dimensional structure with microporous channels along the c axis. Initially, they were fully characterized and tested in hydrogen (H2) adsorption at different conditions of temperature and pressure. The physisorption capacities of both materials surpassed the gravimetric H2 uptake shown by most MOF materials under the same conditions. On the basis of the outstanding adsorption properties, the Ni-URJC-4 material was used as a catalyst in a one-pot reductive amination reaction using various carbonyl compounds and primary amines. A possible chemical pathway to obtain secondary amines was proposed via imine formation, and remarkable performances were accomplished. This work evidences the dual ability of M-URJC-4 materials to be used as a H2 adsorbent and a catalyst in reductive amination reactions, activating molecular H2 at low pressures for the reduction of C=N double bonds and providing reference structural features for the design of new versatile heterogeneous materials for industrial application.

- Isosteric Substitution of 4 H-1,2,4-Triazole by 1 H-1,2,3-Triazole in Isophthalic Derivative Enabled Hydrogel Formation for Controlled Drug Delivery
-
In this work, we demonstrated that the simple substitution of the 1,2,4-triazole moiety in 5-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)isophthalic acid (5-TIA) by the 1H-1,2,3-triazol-5-yl unit enables the preparation of a hydrogelator (click-TIA). In sharp contrast to 5-TIA, its isostere click-TIA undergoes self-assembly in water upon sonication, leading to the formation of stable supramolecular viscoelastic hydrogels with a critical gelation concentration of 6 g/L. Hydrogels made of click-TIA as well as hybrid hydrogels made of the mixture click-TIA + 5-TIA (molar ratio 1:0.2) were used to compare different properties of the materials (i.e., rheological properties, thermal properties, mechanical stability, morphology). In terms of toxicity, neither click-TIA nor 5-TIA showed cytotoxic effects on cellular viability of HeLa cells up to 2.3 × 10-3 g/L when compared to untreated cells incubated with DMSO. Furthermore, the hydrogels were used for the encapsulation and in vitro controlled release of oxytetracycline that followed first-order kinetics. For the hydrogel made of click-TIA, a maximum drug release of ~60% was reached after ~8 h within a pH range between 6.5 and 10. However, the release rate was reduced to approximately half of its value at pH values between 1.2 and 5.0, whereas the use of hybrid hydrogels made of click-TIA + 5-TIA allowed to reduce the original rate at pH ≤ 6.5.

- Two- and three-dimensional silver(I)-organic networks generated from mono- and dicarboxylphenylethynes
-
Three phenylethynes bearing methyl carboxylate (HL1), monocarboxylate (H2L2), and dicarboxylate (H2L3) groups were utilized as ligands to synthesize a new class of organometallic silver(I)-ethynide complexes as bifunctional building units to assemble silver(I)-organic networks. X-ray crystallographic studies revealed that in [Ag2(L1) 2?AgNO3]∞ (1) (L1= 4-C 2C6H4CO2CH3), one ethynide group interacts with three silver ions to form a complex unit. These units aggregate by sharing silver ions with the other three units to afford a silver column, which are further linked through argentophilic interaction to generate a two-demensional (2D) silver(I) network. In [Ag2(L2) ?3AgNO3?H2O]∞ (2) (L2 = 4-CO2C6H4C2), the ethynide group coordinates to four silver ions to form a building unit (Ag4C 2C6H4CO2), which interacts through silver(I)-carboxylate coordination bonds to generate a wave-like 2D network and is subsequently connected by nitrate anions as bridging ligands to afford a three-demensional (3D) network. In [Ag3(L3)?AgNO 3]∞ (3) (L3 = 3,5-(CO2)2C 6H3C2), the building unit (Ag4C 2C6H3(CO2)2) aggregates to form a dimer [Ag8(L3)2] through argentophilic interaction. The dimeric units interact through silver(I)-carboxylate coordination bonds to directly generate a 3D network. The obtained results showed that as a building unit, silver(I)-ethynide complexes bearing carboxylate groups exhibit diverse binding modes, and an increase in the number of carboxylate groups in the silver(I)-ethynide complex unit leads to higher level architectures. In the solid state, all of the complexes (1, 2, and 3) are photoluminescent at room temperature.

- Unusual mixed solvent supramolecular crystal framework formed of a new tecton-like tetracarboxylic building block
-
A new tecton-like tetracarboxylic compound 1 featuring two isophthalic acid groups attached to both ends of a rigid 1,3- butadiyne spacer unit is synthesised using acetylene blocking/deblocking and coupling techniques. Crystallisation of 1 from DMSO-chloroform solution gives rise to the formation of an unusual mixed solvent crystalline framework structure 1a containing DMSO and chloroform as secondary and tertiary components in 1:2:1 stoichiometric ratio. The X-ray crystal structure of 1a shows interesting stacking mode and hydrogen-bonded, 3D network architecture with the two solvent species being involved in different behaviour pattern.

- Mixed [2.2]cyclophanes of pyrene and benzene
-
An examination of the literature on [2.2]cyclophanes reveals a loose relationship between the relative sizes of the two 'half-cyclophanes' (as measured by the parameter Δd) and the limitations of the dominant general synthetic approaches. Direct coupling methods tend to be successful only for systems with Δd values below 1.0 A, whereas ring-contraction-based approaches are usually viable for systems with Δd values up to 2.0.A For the very few known systems with Δd values greater than 2.0A, aromatization-based approaches are the only ones that have been successful. The syntheses of two [2.2]cyclophanes with very large Δd values, [2]paracyclo[2](2,7)pyrenophane (17) (Δd = 4.25A) and [2]metacyclo[2](2,7)pyrenophane (18) (d≤5.04A) are presented here. The syntheses hinge on a valence isomerization/dehydrogenation reaction. The crystallographically determined bend angle, θ, for 18 is 96.1°. Cyclophane 18 undergoes a degenerate conformational flip, the energy barrier for which was determined to be 18.9 kcal mol-1 by DNMR. CSIRO 2010.
