Spin Crossover Metal-Organic Frameworks with Inserted Photoactive Guests: On the Quest to Control the Spin State by Photoisomerization

Abstract Three new metal−organic frameworks based on scandium(III) cations and 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid (H2Tdc) are synthesized: [Sc(Tdc)(OH)]·1.2DMF (I), [Sc(Tdc)(OH)]·2/3DMF (II), and (Me2NH2)[Sc3(Tdc)4(OH)2]·DMF (III) (DMF is N,N-dimethylformamide). The structures of the compounds are determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis (CIF file CCDC nos. 2067819 (I), 2067820 (II), and 2067821 (III)). The chemical and phase purity of compound I is proved by elemental analysis, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction analysis, and IR spectroscopy.

Organic Framework

The compound [Cd(4,4'-bpy)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·(L)2 was obtained by the reaction of Cd(ClO4)2, bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine (L) and 4,4'-bipyridine in aqueous MeOH. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has revealed its two-dimensional metal-organic framework. The 2-D layers superpose on each other, giving a channel structure. The square planar grids consist of two pairs of shared edges with Cd(II) ion and a 4,4'-bipyridine molecule each vertex and side, respectively. The square cavity has a dimension of 11.817 × 11.781 Å. Two guest molecules of bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine are clathrated in every hydrophobic host cavity, being further stabilized by π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. The results suggest that the hydrazine molecules present in the network serve as structure-directing templates in the formation of crystal structures.

Moreover, complex 1 possesses high photocatalytic activities for the decomposition of Rhodamine B (RhB) under UV light irradiation.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a well-studied class of porous materials with the potential to be used in many applications such as gas storage and catalysis.[1] UiO-67 (UiO = University of Oslo), a MOF built from zirconium oxide units connected with 4,4-biphenyldicarboxylate (BDC) linkers, forms a face centred cubic structure. Zirconium has a high affinity towards oxygen ligands making these bridges very strong, resulting in UiO-based MOFs having high chemical and thermal stability compared to other MOF structures. Moreover, UiO-67 has become popular in engineering studies due to its high mechanical stability.[2] Using high pressure x-ray crystallography we can exert MOFs to GPa pressures, experimentally exploring the mechanical stability of MOFs to external pressure. By immersing the crystal in a hydrostatic medium, pressure is applied evenly to the crystal. On surrounding a porous MOF with a hydrostatic medium composed of small molecules (e.g. methanol), the medium can penetrate the MOF, resulting in medium-dependant compression. On compressing MOF-5 (Zn4O(BDC)3) using diethylformamide as a penetrating medium, the framework was shown to have an increased resistance to compression, becoming amorphous several orders of magnitude higher in pressure than observed on grinding the sample.[3] Here we present a high-pressure x-ray diffraction study on the UiO-based MOF UiO-67, and several new synthesised derivatives built from same metal node but with altered organic linkers, allowing us to study in a systematic way, the mechanical stability of the MOF, and its pressure dependence on both the linker, and pressure medium.

By employment of amino-functionalized dicarboxylate ligands to react with d10 metal ions, four novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were obtained with the formula of {[Cd(BCPAB)(μ2-H2O)]}n (1), {[Cd(BDAB)]∙2H2O∙DMF}n (2), {[Zn(BDAB)(BPD)0.5(H2O)]∙2H2O}n (3) and {[Zn(BDAB)(DBPB)0.5(H2O)]∙2H2O}n (4) (H2BCPAB = 2,5-bis(p-carbonylphenyl)-1-aminobenzene; H2BDAB = 1,2-diamino-3,6-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene); BPD = (4,4′-bipyridine); DBPB = (E,E-2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-bis-[2-pyridin-vinyl]-benzene; DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide). Complex 1 is a three-dimensional (3D) framework bearing seh-3,5-Pbca nets with point symbol of {4.62}{4.67.82}. Complex 2 exhibits a 4,4-connected new topology that has never been reported before with point symbol of {42.84}. Complex 3 and 4 are quite similar in structure and both have 3D supramolecular frameworks formed by 6-fold and 8-fold interpenetrated 2D coordination layers. The structures of these complexes were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) measurements. In addition, the fluorescence properties and the sensing capability of 2–4 were investigated as well and the results indicated that complex 2 could function as sensor for Cu2+ and complex 3 could detect Cu2+ and Ag+via quenching effect.
