Metal cation substitution can tune CO₂, H₂O and CH₄ switching pressure in transiently porous coordination networks.

ABSTRACT: Compared to rigid physisorbents, switching coordination networks that reversibly transform between closed (non-porous) and open (porous) phases offer promise for gas/vapour storage and separation owing to their improved working capacity and desirable thermal management properties. We recently introduced a coordination network, X-dmp-1-Co, which exhibits switching enabled by transient porosity. The resulting "open" phases are generated at threshold pressures even though they are conventionally non-porous. Herein, we report that X-dmp-1-Co is the parent member of a family of transiently porous coordination networks [X-dmp-1-M] (M = Co, Zn and Cd) and that each exhibits transient porosity but switching events occur at different threshold pressures for CO₂ (0.8, 2.1 and 15 mbar, for Co, Zn and Cd, respectively, at 195 K), H₂O (10, 70 and 75% RH, for Co, Zn and Cd, respectively, at 300 K) and CH₄ (<2, 10 and 25 bar, for Co, Zn and Cd, respectively, at 298 K). Insight into the phase changes is provided through in situ SCXRD and in situ PXRD. We attribute the tuning of gate-opening pressure to differences and changes in the metal coordination spheres and how they impact dpt ligand rotation. X-dmp-1-Zn and X-dmp-1-Cd join a small number of coordination networks (<10) that exhibit reversible switching for CH₄ between 5 and 35 bar, a key requirement for adsorbed natural gas storage.

Project description:Chromium contamination is a serious environmental issue in areas affected by leather tanning and metal plating, and green rust sulfate has been tested extensively as a potential material for in situ chemical reduction of hexavalent chromium in groundwater. Reported products and mechanisms for the reaction have varied, most likely because of green rust's layered structure, as reduction at outer and interlayer surfaces might produce different reaction products with variable stabilities. Based on studies of Cr(III) oxidation by biogenic Mn (IV) oxides, Cr mobility in oxic soils is controlled by the solubility of the Cr(III)-bearing phase. Therefore, careful engineering of green rust properties, i.e., crystal/particle size, morphology, structure, and electron availability, is essential for its optimization as a remediation reagent. In the present study, pure green rust sulfate and green rust sulfate with Al, Mg and Zn substitutions were synthesized and reacted with identical chromate (CrO42-) solutions. The reaction products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, pair distribution function analysis, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy and treated with synthetic δ-MnO2 to assess how easily Cr(III) in the products could be oxidized. It was found that Mg substitution had the most beneficial effect on Cr lability in the product. Less than 2.5% of the Cr(III) present in the reacted Mg-GR was reoxidized by δ-MnO2 within 14 days, and the particle structure and Cr speciation observed during X-ray scattering and absorption analyses of this product suggested that Cr(VI) was reduced in its interlayer. Reduction in the interlayer lead to the linkage of newly-formed Cr(III) to hydroxyl groups in the adjacent octahedral layers, which resulted in increased structural coherency between these layers, distinctive rim domains, sequestration of Cr(III) in insoluble Fe oxide bonding environments resistant to reoxidation and partial transformation to Cr(III)-substituted feroxyhyte. Based on the results of this study of hexavalent chromium reduction by green rust sulfate and other studies, further improvements can also be made to this remediation technique by reacting chromate with a large excess of green rust sulfate, which provides excess Fe(II) that can catalyze transformation to more crystalline iron oxides, and synthesis of the reactant under alkaline conditions, which has been shown to favor chromium reduction in the interlayer of Fe(II)-bearing phyllosilicates.
