Zinc(ii) and cadmium(ii) amorphous metal-organic frameworks (aMOFs): Study of activation process and high-pressure adsorption of greenhouse gases

Two novel amorphous metal-organic frameworks (aMOFs) with chemical composition {[Zn2(MTA)]·4H2O·3DMF}n (UPJS-13) and {[Cd2(MTA)]·5H2O·4DMF}n (UPJS-14) built from Zn(ii) and Cd(ii) ions and extended tetrahedral tetraazo-tetracarboxylic acid (H4MTA) as a linker were prepared and characterised. Nitrogen adsorption measurements were performed on as-synthesized (AS), ethanol exchanged (EX) and freeze-dried (FD) materials at different activation temperatures of 60, 80, 100, 120, 150 and 200 °C to obtain the best textural properties. The largest surface areas of 830 m2 g-1 for UPJS-13 (FD) and 1057 m2 g-1 for UPJS-14 (FD) were calculated from the nitrogen adsorption isotherms for freeze-dried materials activated at mild activation temperature (80 °C). Subsequently, the prepared compounds were tested as adsorbents of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and methane, measured at high pressures. The maximal adsorption capacities were 30.01 wt% CO2 and 4.84 wt% CH4 for UPJS-13 (FD) and 24.56 wt% CO2 and 6.38 wt% CH4 for UPJS-14 (FD) at 20 bar and 30 °C.

Three-Dimensional Radical Covalent Organic Frameworks as Highly Efficient and Stable Catalysts for Selective Oxidation of Alcohols

With excellent designability, large accessible inner surface, and high chemical stability, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising candidates as metal-free heterogeneous catalysts. Here, we report two 3D radical-based COFs (JUC-565 and JUC-566) in which radical moieties (TEMPO) are uniformly decorated on the channel walls via a bottom-up approach. Based on grafted functional groups and suitable regular channels, these materials open up the application of COFs as highly efficient and selective metal-free redox catalysts in aerobic oxidation of alcohols to relevant aldehydes or ketones with outstanding turn over frequency (TOF) up to 132 h?1, which has exceeded other TEMPO-modified catalytic materials tested under similar conditions. These stable COF-based catalysts could be easily recovered and reused for multiple runs. This study promotes potential applications of 3D functional COFs anchored with stable radicals in organic synthesis and material science.

Luminescent covalent organic framework as a recyclable turn-off fluorescent sensor for cations and anions in aqueous solution

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have shown great potential for use in ion sensing; however, applications of existing COFs are limited to sensing either cations or anions. In this study, a three-dimensional COF, COF-TT, is constructed by reacting the bis(tetraoxacalix[2]arene[2]triazine) core with tetra(p-aminophenyl)methane to provide a luminescent sensor. COF-TT exhibits ultrahigh thermal stability and exceptional chemical stability in aqueous solutions over a broad pH range from 2 to 14, which signifies immense practical potential for sensing applications. Excellent selectivity and high sensitivity of COF-TT toward Fe3+ cations and CrO42-, Cr2O72-, and MnO4- anions are evident via luminescence quenching. COF-TT also exhibits excellent recyclability in terms of washing and re-exposure cycles. Both experimental data and theoretical calculations are employed to unveil the mechanisms of the quenching effect and sensing properties of COF-TT.

Three-Dimensional Tetrathiafulvalene-Based Covalent Organic Frameworks for Tunable Electrical Conductivity

The functionalization of three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is essential to broaden their applications. However, the introduction of organic groups with electroactive abilities into 3D COFs is still very limited. Herein we report the first case of 3D tetrathiafulvalene-based COFs (3D-TTF-COFs) with non- or 2-fold interpenetrated pts topology and tunable electrochemical activity. The obtained COFs show high crystallinity, permanent porosity, and large specific surface area (up to 3000 m2/g). Furthermore, these TTF-based COFs are redox active to form organic salts that exhibit tunable electric conductivity (as high as 1.4 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 120 °C) by iodine doping. These results open a way toward designing 3D electroactive COF materials and promote their applications in molecular electronics and energy storage.

Three-dimensional conductive porous organic polymers based on tetrahedral polythiophene for high-performance supercapacitors

Porous organic polymers have become promising electrode materials, but their low surface area and poor electrical conductivity limit their application in high-performance supercapacitors. This study reports the facile synthesis of two porous organic polymers (POP-1 and POP-2) via the condensation of tetra(4-aminophenyl)methane and 2-thenaldehyde or 2,2-bithiophene-5-carboxyaldehyde and their subsequent polymerization. The resulting porous organic polymer materials were characterized using FT-IR, 13C-NMR, X-ray single crystal diffraction, SEM, TEM and N2 adsorption-desorption measurements. This study shows that POP-2 has a diamond topological structure with a regular morphology and a wealth of pores, and a higher BET surface area (342 m2 g-1) when compared with POP-1 (260 m2 g-1). POP-2, when used as an electrode material for supercapacitors, also exhibits a much better electrochemical performance, including higher specific capacitance (332 F g-1) and better cycle stability (capacity retention rate of more than 94% after 10000 successive cycles). These results verify that the structure and electrochemical properties of porous organic polymer materials can be effectively improved by altering the monomers. This study also provides an approach for building various porous organic polymer materials for use in high-performance supercapacitors.

Microporous Organic Polyimides for CO2 and H2O Capture and Separation from CH4 and N2 Mixtures: Interplay between Porosity and Chemical Function

Porous polyimides have been considered to be a promising material class for gas capture and sequestration, leading to the synthesis of a substantial number of individual networks with noteworthy sorption properties. In spite of these efforts, the vision of a chemical control of adsorption and desorption of small molecules, in particular, for the competing uptake of technical relevant gas mixtures, is still hardly investigated. Here, we present a systematic study of five new polyimide networks based on a set of linkers with chemical functionalities covering the full range from hydrophobic to hydrophilic interactions. The corresponding microporous organic polyimides (MOPI-I to -V) were synthesized successfully based on a condensation reaction between amino and anhydride linker molecules in m-cresol at high temperatures, resulting in cross-linking degrees beyond 95% in all cases. Argon and carbon dioxide isotherms reveal surface areas up to 940 m2/g with ultramicroporosity, about 50% microporosity and high thermal stabilities under air with decomposition temperatures up to 480 °C. Sorption screening for variable temperatures revealed remarkable uptakes for carbon dioxide up to 3.8 mmol/g and water vapor up to 19.5 mmol/g combined with a smooth gate opening around 0.25 p/p0 for MOPI-IV. In contrast, for MOPI-V the water vapor uptake decreases down to 7 mmol/g. Interestingly, the trend of the selectivities calculated by IAST and Henry does not correlate with the uptake behavior. For instance, MOPI-I and MOPI-III exhibit with 78 and 13 the highest CO2 over N2 and CH4 Henry selectivities, although their CO2 uptake is around 3.0 mmol/g. In total, we attribute the sorption properties for this class of materials mainly to the void size and shape within the ultramicroporous region. The chemical environment of the surfaces seems to have little influence on the uptake and a stronger effect on the separation behavior.
