A first new porous d–p HMOF has been yielded by the monometallic MOF as the precursor. The results of the gas sorption and CO2 cycloaddition indicate that this work may supply an effective approach to obtain new functional HMOF materials.
Three new three-dimensional (3D)
porous Zn(II)-based metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs), namely, [Zn4O(L)2(NMP)2(H2O)]·2NMP·2H2O (1), [Zn(HL)(bpe)0.5]·DMF·H2O (2), and [Zn(HL)(bipy)0.5]·DMF·H2O (3) [bpe = 1,2-di(pyridin-4-yl)ethene, and bipy =
4,4′-bipyridine], were successfully synthesized by 5′-carboxyl-(1,1′-3′,1″-terphenyl)-4,4″-dicarboxylic
acid (H3L). Sing-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that complex 1 is a twofolded interpenetrated 3D framework possessing the
[Zn4O(COO)6] secondary building units (SBUs),
and complexes 2 and 3 are two 3D isostructural
networks with different N-donor ancillary ligands, where the partly
deprotonated HL2– ligands are included. Gas adsorption
behaviors of 1 to 3 for N2, CH4, and CO2 have been studied in detail at different
temperatures, indicating that the high uptake and selectivity for
CO2 will make it as potential gas storage and separation
materials. Significantly, complexes 2 and 3 also exhibit the good organic dye selection and adsorption capacity,
and the Congo red (CR) and methylene blue (MB) can be separated successfully
by 2 in a very short time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
