Kalidindi, S.B., Nayak, Sanjit, Briggs, M.E., Jansat, S., Katsoulidis, A.P., Miller, G.J., Warren, J.E., Antypov, D., Cora, F., Slater, B., Prestly, M.R., Marti-Gastaldo, C., Rosseinsky, M.J. 17 December 2014 (has links)
Yes / The synthesis of metal–organic frameworks with large three-dimensional channels that are permanently porous and chemically stable offers new opportunities in areas such as catalysis and separation. Two linkers (L1=4,4′,4′′,4′′′-([1,1′-biphenyl]-3,3′,5,5′-tetrayltetrakis(ethyne-2,1-diyl)) tetrabenzoic acid, L2=4,4′,4′′,4′′′-(pyrene-1,3,6,8-tetrayltetrakis(ethyne-2,1-diyl))tetrabenzoic acid) were used that have equivalent connectivity and dimensions but quite distinct torsional flexibility. With these, a solid solution material, [Zr6O4(OH)4(L1)2.6(L2)0.4]⋅(solvent)x, was formed that has three-dimensional crystalline permanent porosity with a surface area of over 4000 m2 g−1 that persists after immersion in water. These properties are not accessible for the isostructural phases made from the separate single linkers. / Financial support from EPSRC under EP/H000925, access to the HPC service ARCHER via EP/L000202.

Metal-organic frameworks as potential agents for extraction and delivery of pesticides and agrochemicals

30 January 2023 (has links)
Yes / Pesticide contamination is a global issue, affecting nearly 44% of the global farming population, and disproportionately affecting farmers and agricultural workers in developing countries. Despite this, global pesticide usage is on the rise, with the growing demand of global food production with increasing population. Different types of porous materials, such as carbon and zeolites, have been explored for the remediation of pesticides from the environment. However, there are some limitations with these materials, especially due to lack of functional groups and relatively modest surface areas. In this regard, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide us with a better alternative to conventionally used porous materials due to their versatile and highly porous structure. Recently, a number of MOFs have been studied for the extraction of pesticides from the environment as well as for targeted and controlled release of agrochemicals. Different types of pesticides and conditions have been investigated, and MOFs have proved their potential in agricultural applications. In this review, the latest studies on delivery and extraction of pesticides using MOFs are systematically reviewed, along with some recent studies on greener ways of pest control through the slow release of chemical compounds from MOF composites. Finally, we present our insights into the key issues concerning the development and translational applications of using MOFs for targeted delivery and pesticide control.

Synthèse de nouveaux matériaux de type MOFs à propriétés acido-basiques et évaluation en catalyse / Synthesis and catalytic activity of acid/basic Metal Organic frameworks

Savonnet, Marie 06 October 2011 (has links)
Les MOFs résultent de l’organisation de polyèdres métalliques reliés par des molécules organiques chélatantes pour former un réseau poreux. La construction de solides hybrides organiques/inorganiques permet d’imaginer un très grand nombre de matériaux aux propriétés structurales et physico-chimiques variées. Le confinement du substrat dans une structure rigide, associé à des propriétés particulières des clusters métalliques ainsi qu’à des parois pouvant être fonctionnalisées, fournissent un environnement catalytique unique, plaçant les MOF à la frontière entre les espèces types zéolites et les enzymes. Cependant, il existe aujourd’hui très peu de MOFs possédant plus d’une fonction catalytique. Néanmoins, les propriétés catalytiques des MOFs peuvent être améliorées de façons non négligeables grâce aux méthodes de post-fonctionalisation. Dans ce travail, nous reportons le développement d’une méthode de post-fonctionnalisation originale des amino-MOFs. La première étape consiste à convertir la fonction amine en fonction azoture. Puis, sans isolation ni purification, le MOF fonctionnalisé est obtenu par « Click Chemistry » en ajoutant l’alcyne correspondant. Cette méthode peut être appliquée à tous les types d’amino-MOFs et à quasi toutes les fonctions chimiques que l’on souhaite greffer. Une large librairie de nouveaux matériaux a ainsi été obtenue et complètement caractérisée. Cette méthode a aussi été utilisée pour créer des MOFs catalytiques à façon pour une réaction de transesterification, ainsi que pour l’investigation de nouvelles applications plus fines (niches industrielle) / MOFs result from the association of metallic clusters connected by organic linkers to form a net. It is acknowledged that ultimately MOFs could mimic “enzymes” using “molecular recognition” concept to allow high chemio-, regio-, enantio-selectivity. We could indeed anticipate MOFs as potential “artificial enzymes” that can combine several properties at the nanometer scale in a concerted fashion. However to date, the number of MOFs with more than one reactive “catalytic” function is rather scarce. A key to address advanced MOF materials suitable for more sophisticated applications is to add functionalities of greater complexity in a controlled manner. The ability to modify the chemical environment of the cavities within MOFs would allow tuning of the interactions with guest species, and serve as a route to tailor the chemical reactivity of the framework. However, the introduction of reactive chemical functions by self-assembly methods is not a trivial task. In this work, we report an original PSM method starting from amino derived MOFs. The first step consists in converting the amino group into azide (N3). Without isolation nor purification, the desired functionalized material is obtained by grafting the corresponding alkyne using “Clik Chemistry”. This method can be applied to all kind of amino-MOFs and to all kind of grafted chemical functions. A diverse library of original MOFs was synthesized and characterized. Finally, this method was used to engineer catalytic MOFs for the transesterification of ethyldecanoate with methanol or to investigate applications in specialized industrial niches

Polímeros de coordenação à base de cobalto(II) e N,N'-bis(4-piridil)-1,4,5,8-naftaleno diimida como ligante e suas propriedade estruturais, espectroscópicas e fotoelétricas / Coordination polymers based on cobalt(II) and N,N\'-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalene diimide as ligand and their structural, spectroscopic and electronic properties

Castaldelli, Evandro 05 February 2016 (has links)
Polímeros de coordenação têm atraído a atenção de pesquisadores na última década por conta de sua incrível versatilidade e virtualmente infinito número de possibilidades de combinação de ligantes orgânicos e centros metálicos. Estes compostos normalmente herdam as características magnéticas, eletrônicas e espectroscópicas de seus componentes base. Entretanto, apesar do crescente número de trabalhos na área, ainda são raros os polímeros de coordenação que apresentem condutividade elétrica. Para este fim, utilizou-se a N,N\'-bis(4-piridil)-1,4,5,8-naftaleno diimida, ou NDI-py, que pertence a uma classe de compostos rígidos, planares, quimicamente e termicamente estáveis e que já foram extensamente estudados por suas propriedades fotoeletroquímicas e semicondução do tipo n. O primeiro polímero de coordenação sintetizado, MOF-CoNDI-py-1, indicou ser um polímero linear, de estrutura 1D. O segundo, MOF-CoNDI-py-2, que conta com ácido tereftálico como ligante suporte, é um sólido cristalino com cela unitária monoclínica pertencente ao grupo espacial C2/c, determinado por difração de raios-X de monocristal. A rede apresenta um arranjo trinuclear de íons Co(II) alto spin com coordenados em uma geometria de octaedro distorcido, enquanto os ligantes NDI-py se encontram em um arranjo paralelo na estrutura, em distâncias apropriadas para transferência eletrônica. Com o auxílio de cálculo teóricos a nível de DFT, foi realizado um estudo aprofundado dos espectros eletrônicos e vibracionais, com atribuição das transições observadas, tanto para o MOF-CoNDI-py-2 quanto para o ligante NDI-py livre. A rede de coordenação absorve em toda a região do espectro eletrônico analisada, de 200 nm a 2500 nm, além de apresentar luminescência com característica do ligante. Dispositivos eletrônicos fabricados com um cristal do MOF-CoNDI-py-2 revelaram condutividades da ordem de 7,9 10-3 S cm -1, a maior já observada para um MOF. Além de elevada, a condutividade elétrica dos cristais demonstrou-se altamente anisotrópica, sendo significativamente menos condutor em algumas direções. Os perfis de corrente versus voltagem foram analisados em termos de mecanismos de condutividade, sendo melhores descritos por um mecanismo limitado pelo eletrodo to tipo Space-Charge Limited Current, concordando com a proposta de condutividade através dos planos de NDI-py na rede. A condutividade dos cristais também é fortemente dependente de luz, apresentando fotocondução quando irradiado por um laser vermelho, de 632 nm, enquanto apresenta um comportamento fotorresistivo frente a uma fonte de luz branca. Estes resultados, combinados, trazem um MOF em uma estrutura incomum e com elevada condutividade elétrica, modulada por luz, em medidas diretas de corrente. Não existem exemplos conhecidos de MOFs na literatura com estas características. / Coordination polymers have been a major topic in materials science during the past decade, thanks to their versatility and virtually infinite possible combinations between metal centers and organic ligands. These coordination polymers usually inherit the properties of their components, such as magnetic, spectroscopic and electronic characteristics. However, despite the increasing number of research papers in this topic, it is still hard to find coordination polymers featuring electronic conductivity. To achieve that, we used a naphthalene diimide derivative, N,N\'-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,4,5,8- naphthalene diimide or NDI-py, which belongs to a class of rigid, planar, thermally and chemically stable compounds, extensively studied due to their photoelectrochemical properties and their n-type semiconductivity. The first coordination polymer synthesised, MOF-CoNDI-py-1, was an amorphous linear polymer, with a 1D structure. Based on these observations, MOF-CoNDI-py-2 was synthesised by using terephthalic acid as a supporting ligand, and it is a crystalline solid which its monoclinic unit cell belongs to a C2/c space group, as determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. This network features a trinuclear high-spin Co(II) unit, and each metal ion sits on a distorted octahedra coordination geometry, while the NDI-py ligands sit in a parallel arrangement, with distances suitable for electronic transfers. A detailed study of their vibrational and electronic spectra, supported by DFT calculations, was performed, as well as a full description and assignment of the observed bands. MOF-CoNDI-py-2 absorbs in the whole studied spectral region, from 200 nm to 2500 nm, while it also features a ligand-centered emission spectrum. Electronic devices built around its crystals revealed electric conductivities of 7.9 10 -3 S cm -1, which is, to the best of our knowledge, the highest for a MOF to this date. This conductivity is also highly anisotropic, being significantly less conductive in certain directions. The current versus voltage profiles were analysed in terms of known conduction mechanisms, with best fits when using an electrode-limited Space-Charge Limited Current mechanism, in agreement with the proposition that this conductivity happens through the NDI-py stacking planes. Additionally, this mechanism is influenced by an external light source, being a photoconductor with a red laser, 632 nm, and a photoresistor with a white light. Combined, these results bring a light-modulated, highly conductive MOF material with an unusual structure. As far as we know, there are no similar MOFs in the literature, which makes MOF-CoNDI-py-2 one of a kind.

Potentiels des poly-hydroxyalcanoates (PHAs) bactériens pour l'encapsulation de molécules à visée thérapeutique / Potentials of bacterial Poly-HydroxyAlkanoates (PHA) for the encapsulation of therapeutic molecules

Jain-Beuguel, Caroline 14 December 2018 (has links)
Les Poly(HydroxyAlcanoates) (PHA) sont des polymères naturels, biodégradables et biocompatibles, synthétisés par de nombreux organismes, et plus particulièrement des procaryotes. Il existe à ce jour plus de 150 types de monomères de PHA différents, accumulés chez différents genres bactériens, en tant que source d’énergie et de carbone. En effet, les granules de PHA intracellulaires sont produites en réponse à un apport en excès de sources de carbone dans l’environnement (glucides, acides gras…), couplé à une carence en éléments azotés nécessaires à la division cellulaire. De par leur caractère biodégradable et biocompatible, les PHA sont employés depuis plus de 20 ans comme biomatériaux dans les domaines pharmaceutiques et biomédicaux, notamment comme micro/nanovecteurs à visée thérapeutique. Ce doctorat met en évidence des méthodes de criblage moléculaire par PCR pour la sélection de bactéries productrices de PHA, isolées de sites hydrothermaux des océans Atlantique et Pacifique au cours de campagnes océanographiques Ifremer. Selon des protocoles de fermentation standardisés et optimisés, des polymères de poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-4-hydroxybutyrate) P(3HB4HB) d’intérêt biomédical ont été produits, puis des études taxonomiques et phylogénétiques ont été menées pour explorer la biodiversité microbienne associée aux environnements marins profonds. Ensuite, des PHA ont été modifiés par réaction thiol-ène photoactivée afin d’obtenir des copolymères hydrosolubles, adaptés pour l’enrobage de nanoparticules poreuses de type Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF). La caractérisation physicochimique a été réalisée par différentes techniques, et notamment par SEM et STEM-EDX. Les systèmes hybrides poreux MOF-PHA ont ensuite été évalués quant à leur biocompatibilité vis-à-vis de cellules immunitaires (macrophages), par des tests de cytotoxicité et de prolifération cellulaire. Cette étude met en lumière les potentialités de cette nouvelle génération de nanovecteurs, synthétisés pour augmenter le bénéfice thérapeutique tout en minimisant les effets secondaires sur l’organisme humain. / Poly(HydroxyAlkanoates) (PHA) are natural polymers, biodegradable and biocompatible, synthesized by many organisms, especially prokaryotes. There are over 150 kinds of these polyesters, accumulated in a wide variety of bacteria as carbon and energy storage material. PHA granules are deposited intracellularly when microorganisms are cultivated in the presence of an excess of carbon source (glucids, fatty acids...) together with a nitrogenous nutrient deficiency. Due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility, PHA can be used as biomaterials in medical or pharmaceutical fields, and numerous therapeutic micro/nanovectors have already been developed over the past two decades.The present PhD research project highlighted molecular screening methods by PCR for the PHA producing Bacteria selection, isolated during Ifremer cruises from hydrothermal vents in Atlantic and Pacific oceans.According to standardized and optimized fermentation protocols, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-4-hydroxybutyrate) P(3HB4HB) polymers of biomedical interest were produced, then taxonomic and phylogenetic studies were performed to explore microbial biodiversity associated with deep-sea environments. Next, PHA were modified by ‘click chemistry’ to obtain hydrosoluble copolymers, suitable for coating high porous Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) therapeutic nanoparticles. Physico-chemical characterization was performed using different techniques, and more particularly by SEM and STEM-EDX. MOF-PHA hybrid porous systems were then evaluated for their biocompatibility against immune cells (macrophages), by cytotoxicity and cellular proliferation tests. This study highlights potentials of these new generations of nanovectors, synthesized to increase the therapeutic benefit while minimizing side effects on the human body.

Using external factors to improve gas adsorption in nanoporous materials : control of humidity and mechanical pressure / Utilisation de paramètres externes pour améliorer l'adsorption de gaz dans les matériaux nanoporeux : contrôle de l'humidité et de la pression mécanique

Chanut, Nicolas 01 December 2016 (has links)
L'augmentation du niveau de CO2 atmosphérique est un sujet de préoccupation publique notoire. Afin d'atténuer son impact sur l'environnement, il est urgent de réduire les émissions de CO2 d’origines anthropiques. Une méthode considérée comme viable est la capture de CO2 par des procédés d’adsorption en utilisant une classe émergente de matériaux, les Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs). A ce jour, l’évaluation des MOFs s’est principalement axée sur leurs performances de séparation (capacité, sélectivité et régénération). Cependant, des facteurs externes peuvent influer sur les performances globales des procédés. L’objectif de cette thèse est d’évaluer trois d’entre eux : la présence de vapeur d’eau dans les effluents gazeux, l’effet de la mise en forme des matériaux et l’effet d’une pression mécanique externe sur les performances d’adsorption de gaz. Il est montré que ces facteurs externes peuvent être utilisés pour améliorer les performances des procédés dans des conditions spécifiques. / The increase in atmospheric CO2 level is a notorious matter of public concern. To mitigate its impact on the environment, it is urgent to reduce emissions of anthropogenic CO2. A method considered by many as a viable option is CO2 capture by adsorption using an emerging class of materials, the Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs). To date, evaluation of MOFs has been mainly focused on the separation performance of the material looking at the capacity, selectivity and regeneration capability. However external factors can influence the overall performances of processes turning to industrial applications. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate three of them: the presence of water vapor in post-combustion flue gases, the effect of shaping powders into pellets form and the effect of an external mechanical pressure on gas adsorption performance. Unexpectedly, it is shown that these external factors could be used to improve process performances under specific conditions.

Conception et fonctionnalisation de MOFs pour le greffage et l'encapsulation de complexe organométallique / Development of MOFs as supports or host for organometallic complexes

Lescouet, Tristan 14 December 2012 (has links)
Les Metal-Organic Frameworks résultent de l’organisation de clusters métalliques et demolécules organiques chélatantes qui forment un réseau cristallin poreux. Leur découverte apermis des avancées majeures dans le domaine du stockage et de la séparation des gaz.Malheureusement la faible stabilité et l’acidité modérée de ces matériaux ne les rendent quepeu compétitifs par rapport aux zéolites dans le domaine du raffinage ou de la dépollution. Ils’agit d’explorer, avec ces matériaux, de nouvelles applications catalytiques en tirant partie deleur principale qualité : leur modularité. En effet le large choix de métaux, de ligands, ainsique la post fonctionnalisation de ces derniers permet la synthèse contrôlée de matériauxpossédant des propriétés de flexibilité, de confinement ainsi qu’un environnement chimiquesimilaire à celui des sites actifs des enzymes. Ce travail s’inspire du procédé catalytique desenzymes pour obtenir des MOFs hautement sélectifs en conditions douces. Nous décrivons ledéveloppement de méthodes pour encapsuler des catalyseurs organométalliques dans despores calibrés afin de modifier la sélectivité d’une réaction d’oxydation et stabiliser lecatalyseur. Quatre MOFs supportant des groupes amino ont été synthétisés afin de permettreleur post fonctionnalisation. Les propriétés de flexibilité ainsi que la distribution des sitespotentiellement actifs du MOF MIL-53 ont également été contrôlés grâce à lafonctionnalisation partielle de la structure. Enfin ces amino MOFs furent post fonctionnalisésen isocyanate en deux étapes afin d’améliorer la réactivité de la structure et de permettre legreffage de diverses amines. Ces outils pourraient permettre à court terme la conception deMOFs dont les pores ont un environnement semblable aux metalloenzymes. / MOFs are generated from the association of metallic clusters connected by organic linkers toform crystalline porous materials. Their discovery was a breakthrough in the domain ofseparation and gas storage. Unfortunately, MOFs have a low stability and moderate acidityand cannot compete with zeolites for use in industrial catalysis. To design a viable MOFcatalyst, we can take advantage of its almost infinite possibility of customisation. Indeed, alarge choice of metal, linkers or post synthetic modifications allow the creation ofenvironments similar to the active sites of enzymes and can lead to the synthesis of solidswith analogue flexibility or “molecular recognition” properties. This work takes inspirationfrom enzymes to mimic their ability to catalyse reactions with high chemio-, region- andenantio-selectivity in mild conditions. We developed a method for the encapsulation oforganometallic complexes in the large pore of MOF MIL-101. The selectivity of an oxidationreaction was modified and the catalyst was stabilised within the MOF. In addition, four aminofunctionalized MOFs were synthesized as starting materials for post functionalization. Theirflexibility and the active site distribution were controlled by the use of a “mixed linker”strategy: functionalized linkers were diluted with unfunctionalized ones during the synthesis.Lastly, these amino-MOFs were post-functionalized in two steps in isocyanate in order toameliorate the structure reactivity and allow for the grafting of a large range of amines. Thiswork brings the tools for the synthesis of potential “artificial enzymes”.

MOFs à surface modulable pour l’encapsulation et la libération de macromolécules / Engineered Surface Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for Encapsulation and Delivery of Macromolecules

Hidalgo Crespo, Tania 02 December 2015 (has links)
L'émergence d’un nouveau système nanoparticulé dans le domaine biomédical, les matériaux hybride poreux du type MOF (pour Metal Organic Framework), a récemment attiré beaucoup d'attention en raison de leur grande versatilité structurale et chimique. En particulaire, le trimésate de fer(III) mésoporeux (MIL-100; MIL pour Matériau de l'Institut Lavoisier) a démontré des capacités remarquables de stockage de médicaments avec leur libération contrôlée dans des conditions physiologiques, ainsi que des propriétés en imagerie très intéressantes.Néanmoins, avant toute bioapplication, il estnécessaire d’étudier leur toxicité et leur profile de biodistribution, lesquels sont fortement affectés par plusieurs facteurs (composition, dégradabilité, chimie de surface, etc.). Ainsi, l’objectif principal de ce travail de thèse porte sur l'évaluation de la biocompatibilité de MOFs nanométriques et leur passage de barrières physiologiquespar différentes voiesd'administration (en particulier, par voie intraveineuse, orale et cutanée) en fonction de leurs propriétés physico-chimiques. / The recent emergence of nanometric porous metal-organic frameworks (nanoMOFs) in the biomedical field has recently attracted a great deal of attention owing to their large porosity and versatile composition. Particularly attractive is the mesoporous iron(III) trimesate (MIL-100; MIL stands for Material of Institute Lavoisier), which has shown exceptional loading of challenging drugs, together with their controlled release under physiological conditions and interesting imaging properties. Nevertheless, prior to any bioapplication, it is crucial investigate its toxicity and biodistribution profile, which are strongly affected by multiple factors (e.g. composition, degradability, surface engineering, etc.). Thus, the aim of this PhD work focuses on the evaluation of the nanoMOF biocompatibility and their physiological barrier crossing from different administration routes (specifically intravenous, oral and cutaneous) as a function of their physicochemical properties.
