AbstractA new Cu(II) metal-organic framework, [Cu(L)(OBA)·H2O]n (1) [H2OBA = 4,4′-oxybis(benzoic acid), L = 3,5-di(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)pyridine] was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized through IR spectroscopy, elemental and thermal analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is a four-connected uni-nodal 2D net with a (44·62) topology which shows an emission centered at λ ∼393 nm upon excitation at λ = 245 nm. 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.

We report on the results of a thorough <i>in situ</i> synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction study of the crystallisation in aqueous medium of two recently discovered perfluorinated Ce(IV)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), analogues of the already well investigated Zr(IV)-based UiO-66 and MIL-140A, namely, F4_UiO-66(Ce) and F4_MIL-140A(Ce). The two MOFs were originally obtained in pure form in similar conditions, using ammonium cerium nitrate and tetrafluoroterephthalic acid as building blocks, and small variations of the reaction parameters were found to yield mixed phases. Here, we investigate the crystallisation of these compounds <i>in situ</i> in a wide range of conditions, varying parameters such as temperature, amount of the protonation modulator nitric acid (HNO<sub>3</sub>) and amount of the coordination modulator acetic acid (AcOH). When only HNO<sub>3</sub> is present in the reaction environment, F4_MIL-140A(Ce) is obtained as a pure phase. Heating preferentially accelerates nucleation, which becomes rate determining below 57 °C, whereas the modulator influences nucleation and crystal growth to a similar extent. Upon addition of AcOH to the system, alongside HNO<sub>3</sub>, mixed-phased products, consisting of F4_MIL-140A(Ce) and F4_UiO-66(Ce), are obtained. In these conditions, F4_UiO-66(Ce) is always formed faster and no interconversion between the two phases occurs. In the case of F4_UiO-66(Ce), crystal growth is always the rate determining step. An increase in the amount of HNO<sub>3</sub> slows down both nucleation and growth rates for F4_MIL-140A(Ce), whereas nucleation is mainly affected for F4_UiO-66(Ce). In addition, a higher amount HNO<sub>3</sub> favours the formation of F4_MIL-140A(Ce). Similarly, increasing the amount of AcOH leads to slowing down of the nucleation and growth rate, but favours the formation of F4_UiO-66(Ce). The pure F4_UiO-66(Ce) phase could also be obtained when using larger amounts of AcOH in the presence of minimal HNO<sub>3</sub>. Based on these <i>in situ</i> results, a new optimised route to achieving a pure, high quality F4_MIL-140A(Ce) phase in mild conditions (60 °C, 1 h) is also identified.

Organic Framework

Ab initio structure determination of new metal-organic framework (MOF) compounds is generally done by single crystal X-ray diffraction, but this technique can yield incorrect crystal structures if crystal twinning is overlooked. Herein, the crystal structures of three Zirconium-based MOFs, that are especially prone to twinning, have been determined from twinned crystals. These twin laws (and others) could potentially occur in many MOFs or related network structures, and the methods and tools described herein to detect and treat twinning could be useful to resolve the structures of affected crystals. Our results highlight the prevalence (and sometimes inevitability) of twinning in certain Zr-MOFs. Of special importance are the works of Howard Flack which, in addition to fundamental advances in crystallography, provide accessible tools for inexperienced crystallographers to take twinning into account in structure elucidation.

A series of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) based on 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic (BTC) acid and M(II) acetate hydrate (M=Co, Ni, and Zn) were successfully synthesized and named as M3(BTC)2·12H2O. These compounds were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. Electrochemical properties of the materials were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 6 M KOH aqueous solutions. The maximum specific capacitance of Ni3(BTC)2·12H2O is found to be 429 F g-1 at 5 mV s-1 and 154 F g-1 at 200 mV s-1 scan rate.
