Usage

General Description

1,4-Dibromo-2,5-diethylbenzene is a chemical compound that falls under the category of organobromides. This chemical is synthesized by the bromination of 1,4-diethylbenzene, hence its name. It is most often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis where it's generally required in the production of other chemicals. This chemical is known to be stable under normal temperatures and pressures, but it may pose a threat if it comes into contact with strong oxidizing agents. It's important to handle it with care given that it could cause skin and eye irritation or even serious eye damage. It’s also harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. It is usually stored in a cool and well-ventilated place away from ignition sources, heat and direct sunlight. It is important to avoid spillage, skin and eye contact when handling the compound.

Gas Adsorption in R2-MOF-5 Difunctionalized with Alkyl Groups

Zinc terephthalate metal?organic framework (MOF) MOF-5 and some of its dialkylated derivatives (R2-MOF-5; R=Me, Et, Pr, Bu) were obtained from a solvothermal synthesis using 2,5-dialkyl-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acids with zinc nitrite. The effect of the solvent on the solvothermal synthesis of R2-MOF-5 was investigated. For R=H and Me, interpenetrating or non-interpenetrating MOFs obtained depending on the choice of reaction solvent, while for R=Et, Pr, and Bu, no such solvent effect was observed, and only jungle-gym-type MOFs were generated. All compounds were fully characterized using powder X-ray diffraction analysis (PXRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). After activation, all these compounds exhibit significant porosity, as confirmed by N2-, H2-, and CO2-sorption experiments. The N2-adsorption capacity of these compounds depends on the size of the attached alkyl groups, while the H2-uptake values tend to increase for the alkyl-functionalized MOFs relative to the unfunctionalized parent MOFs and exhibit a maximum value for Pr2-MOF-5.

Functionalization of Zr-based MOFs with alkyl and perfluoroalkyl groups: the effect on the water sorption behavior

Stability and sorption of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) towards water are critical in many applications, and can a priori be modulated through the introduction of suitable organic functional groups on their backbone. We report here the preparation of a
