An: In situ approach to functionalize metal-organic frameworks with tertiary aliphatic amino groups

Metal-catalyzed reductive amination of formyl-containing linkers with N,N-dialkylformamide solvents is concomitant with the solvothermal coordination assembly, leading to novel MOFs functionalized with tertiary aliphatic amino groups. This illustrates a novel one-pot strategy to functionalize MOFs through in situ organic transformation. The UiO-66 MOFs partially functionalized with the amino groups are highly active heterogeneous catalysts for Knoevenagel condensation.

Ionic liquid-decorated COF and its covalent composite aerogel for selective CO2 adsorption and catalytic conversion

Atmospheric CO2 is closely related to the greenhouse effect. Therefore, new practical materials and techniques for highly selective CO2 adsorption and catalytic conversion are imperative. Covalent composites of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with polymers (oligomers) might be a promising approach to meeting the multifaceted requirements of CO2 treatment. Herein, a novel COF-chitosan composite aerogel (COF-IL@chitosan) was designed and fabricated by chemical crosslinking of an allyl-imidazolium ionic liquid-decorated COF (COF-IL) with a thiol-attached chitosan (chitosan-SH) binder via a photoinduced thiol-ene reaction. The crystalline structure, highly selective CO2 adsorption and catalytic conversion features of COF-IL were found to be well maintained in the composite aerogel. The generated covalently coupled COF-chitosan composite material COF-IL@chitosan was found to be robust, uniform and processable even with a remarkably high COF loading (up to 80 wt%). More importantly, the processable COF-IL@chitosan aerogel could be readily shaped into a simplified fixed-bed reactor model via a facile templated freeze-drying procedure, and a scaled-up recyclable CO2 cycloaddition reaction was realized.

Synthesis and solvent-free polymerisation of vinyl terephthalate for application as an anode material in organic batteries

The synthesis and polymerisation of dimethyl 2-vinylterephthalate M1 for possible applications as an anode material in organic secondary batteries are reported. M1 exhibits a vinyl group as a polymerisable unit while the carboxylate moieties serve as cation (Li+, Na+) coordinating sites. The gram-scale synthesis of M1 is described via three different routes in order to evaluate the route with the highest overall yield. Furthermore, different conditions for free radical polymerisation are investigated for obtaining polymer P1 with high molecular weights in order to study the impact of immobilising the carboxylate redox-active centres in a polymer on the charge/discharge cycling stability when used in an organic battery. In order to synthesis suitable materials for battery investigations, P1 was post-functionalised to the corresponding lithium salt P1-Li, which was further electrochemically investigated. Cyclic voltammetry measurements showed for P1-Li redox activity in the range of 0.5-1.2 V vs. Li+/Li which assigns it as a candidate for the anode. Under the present experimental conditions, the galvanostatic measurements of P1-Li exhibited a specific capacity of 64 mA h g1. It is further demonstrated that P1-Li shows an improved cycling stability of 83% discharge capacity remaining after 100 cycles compared to the parent monomer (44%).
