Upscale synthesis of a binary pillared layered MOF for hydrocarbon gas storage and separation

Abstract

Scaling up the synthesis of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) is necessary in order to demonstrate their potential in industrial applications.

Varying the Dimensionality of Cu(II)-Based Coordination Polymers Through Solvent Influence

“…But there are also publications showing that Cu II ions can catalyze the hydration of nitriles using, e.g., Figure 1. hmt bridging modes observed in complexes (1)(2)(3)(4) shown with the hmt bonded to one copper of the {Cu 2 (piv) 4 } unit. (a) µ 4 bridging mode observed in complex (1); (b) µ 3 bridging mode observed in complexes (2-3); (c) µ 2 bridging mode observed in complex (4).…”

“…Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)/coordination polymers (CPs) and zeotypes are currently of great interest due to their potential use in a wide range of applications from gas storage to carbon capture materials [1][2][3][4] and catalysis [5,6] to semiconductors [7][8][9]. These can also demonstrate interesting properties in the field of molecular magnetism [10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…Other Cu II -hmt networks have utilized larger copper-halide larger copper-halide clusters such as "Cu II 5Cl6" or "Cu II 6Cl6" nodes as a means to increase the dimensionality [38]. In this work, we present the first hmt/Cu II paddle wheel-based zeotype structure (1) where the hmt tetrahedral node is µ4 bridging to four linear {Cu2(piv)4} units (piv = pivalate). Three additional hmt/Cu II paddle wheel architectures (2-4) with µ3 and µ2 bridging modes are presented.…”
