Quest for Pillaring Strategies of Highly Connected Rare-Earth Metal-Organic Frameworks: Design, Synthesis, and CharacterizationAltaher, Batool M. 14 June 2022 (has links)
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid materials and are acknowledged as an important class of functional solid-state materials with high scientific interest in academia and industry alike. Their modular nature in terms of structural and compositional diversity, tunability, high surface area, and controlled pore size renders MOFs as the ideal candidate to address various persistent challenges pertaining to gas storage/separation, catalysis, drug delivery, and smart sensing. Through the field of reticular chemistry, targeted structures can be constructed through multiple design approaches, based on preselected building blocks prior to the assembly process.
This thesis illustrates the merit of the supermolecular building layer (SBL) approach for the rational construction and discovery of highly connected and porous MOFs based on rare earth cations. Specifically, the emphasis of this study is on (i) the rational design and synthesis of 3-periodic MOFs based on SBLs pillared by ditopic ligands through post-synthetic modification (PSM) and in situ reactions. (ii) The investigation of the mixed-ligand system with different lengths and geometry of ditopic ligands on the isolation of metal clusters with distinct pore sizes. (iii) Gaining an overall insight into the exploration of different synthetic pathways that control the assembly of rare earth MOFs.

Fundamental Studies of the Uptake and Diffusion of Sulfur Mustard Simulants within Zirconium-based Metal-Organic FrameworksSharp, Conor Hays 10 October 2019 (has links)
The threat of chemical warfare agent (CWA) attacks has persisted into the 21st century due to the actions of terror groups and rogue states. Traditional filtration strategies for soldier protection rely on high surface area activated carbon, but these materials merely trap CWAs through weak physisorption. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials to catalyze the degradation of CWAs into significantly less toxic byproducts. The precise synthetic control over the porosity, defect density, and chemical functionality of MOFs offer exciting potential of for use in CWA degradation as well as a wide variety of other applications. Developing a molecular-level understanding of gas-MOF interactions can allow for the rational design of MOFs optimized for CWA degradation. Our research investigated the fundamental interfacial interactions between CWA simulant vapors, specifically sulfur mustard (HD) simulants, and zirconium-based MOFs (Zr-MOFs). Utilizing a custom-built ultrahigh vacuum chamber with infrared spectroscopic and mass spectrometric capabilities, the adsorption mechanism, diffusion energetics, and diffusion kinetics of HD simulants were determined. For 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-CEES), a widely used HD simulant, infrared spectroscopy revealed that adsorption within Zr-MOFs primarily proceeded through hydrogen bond formation between 2-CEES and the bridging hydroxyls on the secondary building unit of the MOFs. Through the study of 1-chloropentane and diethyl sulfide adsorption, we determined that 2-CEES forms hydrogen bonds through its chlorine atom likely due to geometric constraints within the MOF pore environment. Temperature-programmed desorption experiments aimed at determining desorption energetics reveal that 2-CEES remain adsorbed within the pores of the MOFs until high temperatures, but traditional methods of TPD analysis fail to accurately measure both the enthalpic and entropic interactions of 2-CEES desorption from a single adsorption site. Infrared spectroscopy was able to measure the diffusion of adsorbates within MOFs by tracking the rate of decrease in overall adsorbate concentrations at several temperatures. The results indicate that 2-CEES diffusion through the pores of the MOFs is a slow, activated process that is affected by the size of the pore windows and presence of hydrogen bonding sites. We speculate that diffusion is the rate limiting step in the desorption of HD simulants through Zr-MOFs at lower temperatures. Stochastic simulations were performed in an attempt to deconvolute TPD data in order to extract desorption parameters. Finally, a combination of vacuum-based and ambient-pressure spectroscopic techniques were employed to study the reaction between 2-CEES and an amine-functionalized MOF, UiO-66-NH2. Although the presence of water adsorbed within UiO 66 NH2 under ambient conditions may assist in the reactive adsorption of 2-CEES, the reaction proceeded under anhydrous conditions. / Doctor of Philosophy / Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are some of the most toxic chemicals on the planet and their continued use by terror groups and rogue nations threaten the lives of both civilians and the warfighter. Our work was motivated by a class of high surface area, highly porous materials that have shown the ability to degrade CWAs, specifically mustard gas, into less harmful byproducts. By determining the adsorption mechanism (how and where mustard gas “sticks” to the material), diffusion rates (how quickly mustard gas can travel through the pores of to reach the binding sites), and desorption energies (how strongly mustard gas “sticks” to the binding sites), we can alter the structure of these materials and to efficiently trap mustard gas and render it harmless. In the research described in this dissertation, we examined these fundamental interactions for a series of molecules that mimic the structure of mustard gas. and linear alkanes within several metal-organic frameworks with varying pore size. We observed the size of the pore environment affects the orientation that a given molecule sticks to binding sites as well as how quickly these compounds diffuse through the MOF. While the majority of these studies were conducted in a low-pressure environment that eliminated the presence of gas molecules in the atmosphere, research that exposed a MOF to a mustard gas mimic in an ambient environment demonstrated that gas molecules present in the atmosphere, especially water, can greatly impact the chemical interactions between mustard gas and zirconium-based MOFs.

Synthesis and Characterization of Crystalline Coordination Networks Constructed From Neutral Imidazole Containing Ligand and Rigid Aromatic CarboxylateMotegi, Hirofumi 05 October 2010 (has links)
The work is focused on the investigation of synthesis and structure of crystalline coordination networks by combining first a row transition metal ion with one anionic and one neutral bridging ligand. In the field of crystalline coordination networks, the goal is to synthesize porous 3D crystalline coordination networks with molecular sized cavities. The materials are characterized by XRD and TGA. It is important to understand the structural topologies to develop practical applications, such as gas storage, gas separation, and catalysis.
The bi- and tetra-dentate flexible imidazole ligands, 9,10-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)anthracene (Chapter 2) and 1, 2, 4, 5-tetrakis(imidazol-1ylmethyl)benzene (Chapter 3), are synthesized and used as linkers to construct 1D, 2D, and 3D crystalline coordination networks with cobalt(II) or zinc(II) cations and H3BTC anions under solvothermal conditions.
Two 1D chain networks, [M(HBTC²⁻)(C₂₂H₁₈N₄)(H₂O)₂]•H₂O, are constructed from M(Zn(II) or Co(II)), H₃BTC, and 9,10-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)anthracene (Compound 2.1 and 2.2). These two 1D zigzag chains are linked into infinite 2D sheets by inter-chain π•••π stacking and hydrogen bonding. ⁺
Two 2D and one 3D cobalt(II) coordination networks are constructed from the tetradentate imidazole ligand and H3BTC. Compound 3.1 has a 2D corrugated sheet structure that is linked by inter-layer π•••π stacking and hydrogen bonding. Compound 3.2 has a 2D sheet structure. These sheets are interconnected by hydrogen bonds at the free acid group of the HBTC²⁻ ligand. Compound 3.3 forms a two fold interpenetrated 3D network structure. Void spaces in the structure are filled with six water molecules.
Six 3D cobalt (II) coordination networks are constructed with bidentate rigid imidazole containing neutral ligands, 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene(L1), 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)naphthalene(L2), and 9,10-bis(imidazol-1-yl)anthracene(L3), and H₂BDC or H₃BTC anion (Chapter 4).

Synthesis and Characterization of pure-phase Zr-MOFs Based on meso-Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphineShaikh, Shaunak Mehboob 02 May 2019 (has links)
Chapter 1: The unique chemical and biological properties of porphyrins have led to increased interest in the development of porphyrin-based materials. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) can act as a scaffold for the immobilization of porphyrins in desired arrangements. The crystalline nature of MOFs allows for control over spatial arrangement of porphyrins and the local environment of the porphyrin molecules. This opens up the possibility of conducting systematic studies aimed at exploring structure-property relationships. Several strategies for the design and synthesis of porphyrin-based frameworks have been developed over the last two decades, such as, the pillared-layer strategy, construction of nanoscopic metal-organic polyhedrals (MOPs), post-synthetic modification, etc. These strategies provide an opportunity to engineer porphyrin-based MOFs that can target a specific application or serve as multi-functional assemblies. Porphyrin-based MOFs provide a tunable platform to perform a wide variety of functions ranging from gas adsorption, catalysis and light harvesting. The versatile nature of these frameworks can be exploited by incorporating them in multi-functional assemblies that mimic biological and enzymatic systems. Nano-thin film fabrication of porphyrin-based MOFs broadens their application range, making it possible to use them in the construction of photovoltaic and electronic devices.
Chapter 2: The reaction of zirconium salts with meso-tetracarboxyphenylporphyrin (TCPP) in the presence of different modulators results in the formation of a diverse set of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), each displaying distinct crystalline topologies. However, synthesis of phase-pure crystalline frameworks is challenging due to the concurrent formation of polymorphs. The acidity and concentration of modulator greatly influence the outcome of the MOF synthesis. By systematically varying these two parameters, selective framework formation can be achieved. In the present study, we aimed to elucidate the effect of modulator on the synthesis of zirconium-based TCPP MOFs. With the help of powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), modulator candidates and the optimal synthetic conditions yielding phase-pure PCN-222, PCN-223 and MOF-525 were identified. 1H NMR analysis, TGA and N2 gas adsorption measurements were performed on select MOFs to gain insight into the relationship between their defectivity and modulator properties.
Chapter 3: Singlet-singlet energy transfer in PCN-223(free-base), a highly stable Zr-MOF based on meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin was investigated, using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, steady-state emission spectroscopy, time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) spectroscopy and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The effects of the surrounding media and temperature on the excited-state properties of PCN-223(fb) were explored to understand the mechanistic aspects of energy transfer. Stern-Volmer photoluminescence quenching of PCN-223(fb) suspensions was performed to extract quenching rate constants and gain insight into the efficiency of energy transfer.
Chapter 4: The fourth chapter of this thesis is adapted from chapter 14 of the book "Elaboration and Applications of Metal-Organic Frameworks" authored by Jie Zhu, Shaunak Shaikh, Nicholas J Mayhall and Amanda J Morris. This chapter summarizes the fundamental principles of energy transfer in MOFs and provides an overview of energy transfer in lanthanide-Based luminescent MOFs, Ru/Os-Based MOFs, porphyrin- and metalloporphyrin-based MOF materials, and nonporphyrinic, organic chromophore-based MOFs. / Master of Science / Metal Organic frameworks (MOFs) composed of Zirconium-oxo clusters connected through meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) linker molecules have emerged as promising solid-state materials because of their unique structural features and diverse applications. Although these MOFs have demonstrated great potential over the years, synthesizing them in phase-pure form has proven to be very challenging as they are susceptible to polymorphism. Syntheses of these frameworks often result in phase mixtures and have poor reproducibility. To address, this issue, we conducted a systematic exploration of the synthetic parameter landscape to identify reaction conditions for the synthesis of phase-pure Zirconium-based porphyrin MOFs, and to gain deeper insights into the factors governing the formation of these MOFs. We also investigated the defectivity of pristine Zr-TCPP MOFs using a variety of techniques, including 1H NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and Nitrogen gas adsorption/desorption measurements. The long-term goal of this project is to use phase-pure Zr-based porphyrin MOFs as model systems to study energy transfer in three dimensional structures. To achieve this goal, we characterized the photophysical properties of PCN-223(fb) (a Zr-based porphyrin MOF) using a variety of techniques including steady-state photoluminescence spectroscopy, time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Understanding the mechanistic aspects of energy transfer in PCN-223(fb) can pave the way for the design of a new generation of solar energy conversion devices.

Design and Synthesis of Photoactive Metal-Organic Frameworks for Photon Upconversion and Energy Transfer StudiesRowe, Jennifer Maria 06 July 2018 (has links)
The synthesis, characterization and photophysical properties of three Zr-based Metalorganic frameworks (MOFs) assembled from 2,6-anthracenedicarboxylic acid (2,6-ADCA, 2,6- MOF) and 1,4-anthracenedicarboxylic (1,4-ADCA, 1,4-MOF), and 9,10-anthracenedicarboxylic acid (9,10-ADCA, 9,10-MOF) are described. The crystal structure of the 9,10-MOF was elucidated by synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis and is isostructural with the well-known UiO-66 framework. The 2,6-MOFs also form highly crystalline, octahedral-shaped structures and was characterized by PXRD. Le Bail refinement of the powder pattern revealed that the 2,6-MOF also has UiO-type crystal structure. Conversely, incorporation of the 1,4-ADCA ligand results in large rod-shaped crystals. The excited-state properties of the MOFs were examined using steadstate diffuse reflectance, steady-state emission spectroscopy and time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) spectroscopy and are compared to those of the corresponding ligand in solution. Both the unique fluorescent properties of the ligand as well as individual framework structure, result in distinctive luminescent behavior and dictate the extent of intermolecular interactions. Specifically, the 2,6-MOF displays monomeric emission with a fluorescence lifetime (t) of 16.6 ± 1.1 and fluorescence quantum yield (Ff). On the other hand, the 1,4-MOF displays both monomeric and excimeric emission, with corresponding lifetime values of 7.5 ± 0.01 and 19.9 ± 0.1, respectively and a quantum yield of 0.002 ± 0.0001.
The propensity for photon upconversion through sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA-UC) was probed in the three anthracene-based MOFs. The MOFs were surface-modified with Pd(II) mesoporphyrin IX (PdMP) as the triplet sensitizer. Upconverted emission from the 9,10-MOF was observed, with a quantum efficiency (FUC) of 0.46 % and a threshold intensity (Ith) of 142 mW/cm2 . The variation of the spacing between the anthracene units in the MOFs was found to have significant impact on TTA-UC. As a result, upconverted emission is only displayed by the 9-10-MOF. The distance between anthracene linkers in the 2,6-MOF are too large for TTA to occur, while the short distances in the 1,4-MOF inhibit upconversion through competitive excimer formation.
To further explore the effects of chromophore spacing on energy transfer processes, a series of zinc-based mixed-ligand MOF were constructed from Zn(II) tetrakis(4- carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (ZnTCPP) and pyrazine, 2,2′-bipyridine (pyz) or 4,4′-bipyridyl (bpy) or 1,4-di(4-pyridyl)benzense (dpbz), comprising ZnTCPP/Zn paddlewheel layers. Across this series, the porphyrin spacing was approximately 6 Å, 11 Å and 16 Å for pyz, bpy and dpbz, respectively. The photophysical properties of the MOFs were explored using stead-state diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopies. Florescence quenching studies examined the correlation between porphyrin spacing and efficiency of energy transfer. / Ph. D.
