Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) are some of the most interesting and promising candidates to sequester toxic H 2 S and SO 2 gases. MOFs show interesting advantages over classic porous materials due to their chemical composition, ligand functionality, cavity dimensions, ease of preparation, and relatively low cost reactivation. The optimization of the physical−chemical interactions between MOFs and H 2 S and SO 2 molecules is the key to further amplification of their capture. Reversibility after the adsorption of H 2 S and SO 2 can be modulated through noncovalent bonding between functionalized ligands (within MOF structures) and H 2 S and SO 2 . This review aims to summarize recent advances in the development of MOF-based systems for the capture and removal of H 2 S and SO 2 . We anticipate that this review article can offer very useful information on the significant and rapid progress of the enhancement of H 2 S and SO 2 capture by MOFs.
A series of organometallic compounds of group 13 metals supported by the sterically encumbered beta-diketiminate ligand containing hydrides, fluorides, chlorides, and bromide have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The synthetic strategy applied utilizes halide metathesis and reduction of metal chlorides to the corresponding hydrides. Thus, the reaction of LLi.OEt2 with MeMCl2 affords LM(Me)Cl (M = Al (1), Ga (2), In (3)) and LGaBr2 (4) with GaBr3. Reduction of LGa(Me)Cl with LiH.BEt3 leads to the formation of LGa(Me)H (10). Synthesis of LGaH(2) (12) has been accomplished by reacting LGaI2 (8) with LiH.BEt3. LAl(Me)Cl (1) and LAlH2 (6) have been converted to LAl(Me)F (5) and LAlF2 (7), respectively. The former was obtained in a reaction of LAl(Me)Cl with Me3SnF while the latter was isolated in a reaction of LAlH2 with BF3.OEt2. Similarly reaction of LGaI2 (8) with Me3SnF affords LGaF2 (9). Compounds reported herein have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, NMR, EI-MS, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques.
Surprisingly stable is the bis(hydrogen sulfide) of aluminum LAl(SH)(2) with two terminal arranged SH groups. The insertion of sulfur into the Al-H bonds is catalyzed by SP(NMe(2))(3). A possible mechanism is discussed.
Synthesis of a new class of compounds containing a Ln-O-Al moiety has been accomplished by the reaction of LAlOH(Me) (L = HC(CMeNAr)(2), Ar = 2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3)) with a series of Cp(3)Ln compounds. The terminal Al-OH group shows selective reactivity, and the complexes Cp(2)Ln(THF)-O-AlL(Me) (Ln = Yb, 1; Er, 2; Dy, 3), Cp(2)Yb-O-AlL(Me) (4), and Cp(3)Ln(mu-OH)AlL(Me) (Ln = Er, 5; Dy, 6; Sm, 7) were obtained. This allows further insight into the proton exchange process, and two different mechanisms, intermolecular and intramolecular elimination of CpH, are proposed under different conditions. Complexes 1-4, 6, and 7 have been characterized by X-ray structural analyses which reveals a Ln-O-Al or Ln(mu-OH)Al core in these complexes. The obtuse Ln-O-Al angles fall in the range 151.9-169.8 degrees . The reaction of 1 or 4 with Me(3)SnF in toluene under refluxing conditions unexpectedly yielded the compounds [Cp(2)Yb(mu-OSnMe(3))](2) (8) and LAl(Me)F (9). Reactions of LAlOH(Me) with the mono- and dicyclopentadienyl complexes LYbCp(Cl) (10) and LYbCp(2) (11) supported by the bulky beta-diketiminate ligand were unsuccessful. However, the reaction of LAl(OH)Me with LYbN(SiMe(3))(2)Cl (12) containing a labile Yb-N bond leads to the formation of LYbCl-O-AlL(Me) (13) under elimination of HN(SiMe(3))(2). Furthermore, complexes 1, 3, 4, and 6 exhibit good catalytic activity for the polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone.
MIL-101(Cr)-4F(1%) shows a high uptake and high chemical stability to dry and humid SO2 and a remarkable cyclability. In situ DRIF spectroscopy upon the adsorption of CO identified the preferential adsorption sites for this MOF material.
A series of octahedral dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes of the type [MoO(2)L(2)] {L = 4-Ar-pent-2-en-ol; L(i-Pr2Ph) with Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (1); L(Me2Ph) with Ar = 2,6-dimethylphenyl (2), L(MePh) with Ar = 2-methylphenyl (3) and with Ar = phenyl (4)} and dioxotungsten(VI) compounds [WO(2)L(2)] {L(i-Pr2Ph) (5); L(Me2Ph) (6) and L(MePh) (7)} with Schiff bases have been synthesized as models for oxotransferases. Spectroscopic characterization in solution shows with the sterically encumbered ligands L(i-Pr2)Ph and L(Me2)Ph isomerically pure products whereas the ligand with only one substituent in ortho position at the aromatic ring L(MePh) revealed a dynamic mixture of three isomers as confirmed by variable temperature NMR spectroscopy. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of compounds 1, 2, and 4 and showed them to be in the N,N-trans conformation consistent with the larger steric demand at nitrogen. Oxygen atom transfer (OAT) properties towards trimethylphosphine were investigated leading to the isolation of two mononuclear molybdenum(IV) compounds [MoO(PMe(3))(L(Me2Ph))(2)] (8) and [MoO(PMe(3))(L(MePh))(2)] (9) as confirmed by spectroscopic and crystallographic means. The kinetics of OAT between complex [MoO(2)(L(Me2Ph))(2)] (2) and PMe(3) was investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy under pseudo-first-order conditions revealing single-step reactions with Eyring values of DeltaH(double dagger) = +60.79 kJ mol(-1) and DeltaS(double dagger) = -112 J mol(-1) K(-1) and a first-order dependence of phosphine consistent with a slow nucleophilic attack of the phosphine showing the octahedral geometries of this system to be unfavorable for OAT. Compound 1 showed no OAT reactivity towards PMe(3) emphasizing the influence of sterical properties. Furthermore, the reactivity of the reduced compounds [MoO(PMe(3))(L(Me2Ph))(2)] (8) and [MoO(PMe(3))(L(MePh))(2)] (9) towards molecular oxygen was investigated leading, in the case of 8, to the substitution of PMe(3) by O(2) under formation of the peroxo compound [MoO(O(2))(L(Me2Ph))(2)] (10). In contrast, the analogous reaction employing 9 led to oxidation forming the dioxo compound [MoO(2)(L(MePh))(2)] (3).
