"Orthogonal-Twisted-Arm" Ligands for The Construction of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): New Topology and Catalytic Reactivity.

ABSTRACT: Extended tetratopic benzoic acid ligands with "orthogonal-twisted-arms" conformations were designed and synthesized for the construction of new MOF structures (OTA-MOF). Upon coordination with Cd²⁺ and Cu²⁺ cations, two well-defined new MOFs were prepared. X-ray single crystal structures were successfully obtained, demonstrating the formation of a new topology (4,4,4-c). The OTA2-MOF-Cu gave moderate stability in organic solvents and good gas sorption ability toward CO₂ . This new MOF showed superior catalytic reactivity toward the epoxide-CO₂ cycloaddition, giving >50 folds yield enhancement over the controlled reaction without MOF. It is expected that this new ligand design, porous structure, and excellent CO₂ catalytic reactivity will make OTA-MOF promising new materials for applications in catalysis and separation.

Project description:Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) define a versatile structural paradigm combining attractive properties such as crystallinity, porosity, and chemical and structural modularity which are valuable for various applications. For the incorporation of COFs into optoelectronic devices, efficient charge carrier transport and intrinsic conductivity are often essential. Here, we report the synthesis of two imine-linked two-dimensional COFs, WTA and WBDT, featuring a redox-active Wurster-type motif based on the twisted tetragonal N,N,N',N'-tetraphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine node. By condensing this unit with either terephthalaldehyde (TA) or benzodithiophene dialdehyde (BDT), COFs featuring a dual-pore kagome-type structure were obtained as highly crystalline materials with large specific surface areas and mesoporosity. In addition, the experimentally determined high conduction band energies of both COFs render them suitable candidates for oxidative doping. The incorporation of a benzodithiophene linear building block into the COF allows for high intrinsic macroscopic conductivity. Both anisotropic and average isotropic electrical conductivities were determined with van der Pauw measurements using oriented films and pressed pellets, respectively. Furthermore, the impact of different dopants such as F4TCNQ, antimony pentachloride and iodine on the conductivities of the resulting doped COFs was studied. By using the strong organic acceptor F4TCNQ, a massive increase of the radical cation density (up to 0.5 radicals per unit cell) and long-term stable electrical conductivity as high as 3.67 S m-1 were achieved for the anisotropic transport in an oriented film, one of the highest for any doped COF to date. Interestingly, no significant differences between isotropic and anisotropic charge transport were found in films and pressed pellets. This work expands the list of possible building nodes for electrically conducting COFs from planar systems to twisted geometries. The achievement of high and stable electrical conductivity paves the way for possible applications of new COFs in organic (opto)electronics.
