Triptycene-Based and Schiff-Base-Linked Porous Networks: Efficient Gas Uptake, High CO2/N2 Selectivity, and Excellent Antiproliferative Activity.

ABSTRACT: A set of unique triptycene-based and organic Schiff-base-linked polymers (TBOSBLs) are conveniently synthesized in which triptycene motifs are connected with 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol units via Schiff-base linkages. TBOSBLs are amorphous, thermally stable with a reasonable surface area (SABET up to 649 m2/g), and have abundant nanopores (pore size < 100 nm). TBOSBLs are good sorbents for small gas molecules (such as CO2, H2, and N2) and they can selectively capture CO2 over N2. Additionally, TBOSBLs show superior antiproliferative activity against human colorectal cancer cells relative to previously reported covalent organic frameworks (COFs). The mechanism of cell death is also studied elaborately.

Triptycene induced enhancement of membrane gas selectivity for microporous Troger's base polymers.

Project description:A highly gas permeable polymer with exceptional size selectivity is prepared by fusing triptycene units together via a poly-merization reaction involving Tröger's base formation. The extreme rigidity of this polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-Trip-TB) facilitates gas permeability data that lie well above the benchmark 2008 Robeson upper bounds for the important O2 /N2 and H2 /N2 gas pairs.

Gas-phase rearrangement reaction of Schiff-base-modified peptide ions.

Project description:RationaleSchiff base modification of peptides has been shown to facilitate their primary structural characterization via tandem mass spectrometry. However, we have discovered a novel rearrangement reaction via ion trap collisional activation involving the imine of the Schiff base and one of several functional groups, particularly the side chains of the basic residues lysine, arginine, and histidine, in the peptide.MethodsGas-phase ion/ion reactions involving an aldehyde-containing reagent were used to generate Schiff-base-modified model peptides in a hybrid triple quadrupole/linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometer. Subsequent ion trap collisional activation was used to study the rearrangement reaction.ResultsSchiff-base-modified peptide ions were found to undergo a rearrangement reaction that was observed to be either a major or minor contributor to the product ion spectrum, depending upon a variety of factors that include, for example, ion polarity, identity of the nucleophile in the peptide (e.g., side chains of lysine, histidine, and arginine), and the position of the nucleophile relative to the imine.ConclusionsRelatively low-energy rearrangement reactions can occur in Schiff-base-modified peptide ions that involve the imine of the Schiff base and a nucleophile present in the polypeptide. While this rearrangement process does not appear to compromise the structural information that can be generated via collisional activation of Schiff-base-modified peptide ions, it can siphon away signal from the structurally diagnostic processes in some instances.

Carbon Molecular Sieve Membranes Comprising Graphene Oxides and Porous Carbon for CO2/N2 Separation.

Project description:To improve the CO2/N2 separation performance, mixed-matrix carbon molecular sieve membranes (mixed-matrix CMSMs) were fabricated and tested. Two carbon-based fillers, graphene oxide (GO) and activated carbon (YP-50F), were separately incorporated into two polymer precursors (Matrimid® 5218 and ODPA-TMPDA), and the resulting CMSMs demonstrated improved CO2 permeability. The improvement afforded by YP-50F was more substantial due to its higher accessible surface area. Based on the gas permeation data and the Robeson plot for CO2/N2 separation, the performances of the CMSMs containing 15 wt % YP-50F and 15 wt % GO in the mixed polymer matrix surpassed the 2008 Robeson upper bound of polymeric membranes. Hence, this study demonstrates the feasibility of such membranes in improving the CO2/N2 separation performance through the appropriate choice of carbon-based filler materials in polymer matrices.

Understanding gas capacity, guest selectivity, and diffusion in porous liquids.

Project description:Porous liquids are a new class of material that could have applications in areas such as gas separation and homogeneous catalysis. Here we use a combination of measurement techniques, molecular simulations, and control experiments to advance the quantitative understanding of these liquids. In particular, we show that the cage cavities remain unoccupied in the absence of a suitable guest, and that the liquids can adsorb large quantities of gas, with gas occupancy in the cages as high as 72% and 74% for Xe and SF6, respectively. Gases can be reversibly loaded and released by using non-chemical triggers such as sonication, suggesting potential for gas separation schemes. Diffusion NMR experiments show that gases are in dynamic equilibrium between a bound and unbound state in the cage cavities, in agreement with recent simulations for related porous liquids. Comparison with gas adsorption in porous organic cage solids suggests that porous liquids have similar gas binding affinities, and that the physical properties of the cage molecule are translated into the liquid state. By contrast, some physical properties are different: for example, solid homochiral porous cages show enantioselectivity for chiral aromatic alcohols, whereas the equivalent homochiral porous liquids do not. This can be attributed to a loss of supramolecular organisation in the isotropic porous liquid.

Asynchronous Double Schiff Base Formation of Pyrazole Porous Polymers for Selective Pd Recovery.

Project description:Pyrazole-linked covalent organic polymer is synthesized using an asynchronous double Schiff base from readily available monomers. The one-pot reaction features no metals as a building block or reagent, hence facilitating the structural purity and industrial scalability of the design. Through a single-crystal study on a model compound, the double Schiff base formation is found to follow syn addition, a kinetically favored product, suggesting that reactivity of the amine and carbonyls dictate the order and geometry of the framework building. The highly porous pyrazole polymer COP-214 is chemically resistant in reactive conditions for over two weeks and thermally stable up to 425 °C in air. COP-214 shows well-pronounced gas capture and selectivities, and a high CO2/N2 selectivity of 102. The strongly coordinating pyrazole sites show rapid uptake and quantitative selectivity of Pd (II) over several coordinating metals (especially Pt (II)) at all pH points that are tested, a remarkably rare feature that is best explained by detailed analysis as the size-selective strong coordination of Pd onto pyrazoles. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show energetically favorable Pd binding between the metal and N-sites of COP-214. The polymer is reusable multiple times without loss of activity, providing great incentives for an industrial prospect.

Flue-gas and direct-air capture of CO2 by porous metal-organic materials.

Project description:Sequestration of CO2, either from gas mixtures or directly from air (direct air capture), is a technological goal important to large-scale industrial processes such as gas purification and the mitigation of carbon emissions. Previously, we investigated five porous materials, three porous metal-organic materials (MOMs), a benchmark inorganic material, ZEOLITE 13X: and a chemisorbent, TEPA-SBA-15: , for their ability to adsorb CO2 directly from air and from simulated flue-gas. In this contribution, a further 10 physisorbent materials that exhibit strong interactions with CO2 have been evaluated by temperature-programmed desorption for their potential utility in carbon capture applications: four hybrid ultramicroporous materials, SIFSIX-3-CU: , DICRO-3-NI-I: , SIFSIX-2-CU-I: and MOOFOUR-1-NI: ; five microporous MOMs, DMOF-1: , ZIF-8: , MIL-101: , UIO-66: and UIO-66-NH2: ; an ultramicroporous MOM, NI-4-PYC: The performance of these MOMs was found to be negatively impacted by moisture. Overall, we demonstrate that the incorporation of strong electrostatics from inorganic moieties combined with ultramicropores offers improved CO2 capture performance from even moist gas mixtures but not enough to compete with chemisorbents.This article is part of the themed issue 'Coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks: materials by design'.

Design, Synthesis, Docking Study, and Antiproliferative Evaluation of Novel Schiff Base-Benzimidazole Hybrids with VEGFR-2 Inhibitory Activity.

Project description:A new series of Schiff-benzimidazole hybrids 3a-o has been designed and synthesized. The structure of the target compounds was proved by different spectroscopic and elemental analysis tools. The target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against 60 cancer cell lines according to NCI single- and five-dose protocols. Consequently, four compounds were further examined against the most sensitive lung cancer A549 and NCI-H460 cell lines. Compounds 3e and 3g were the most active, achieving 3.58 ± 0.53, 1.71 ± 0.17 and 1.88 ± 0.35, 0.85 ± 0.24 against A549 and NCI-H460 cell lines, respectively. Moreover, they showed remarkable inhibitory activity on the VEGFR-2 TK with 86.23 and 89.89%, respectively, as compared with Sorafenib (88.17%). Moreover, cell cycle analysis of NCI-H460 cells treated with 3e and 3g showed cellular cycle arrest at both G1 and S phases (supported by caspases-9 study) with significant pro-apoptotic activity, as indicated by annexin V-FITC staining. The binding interactions of these compounds were confirmed through molecular docking studies; the most active compounds displayed complete overlay with, and a similar binding mode and pose to, Sorafenib, a reference VEGFR-2 inhibitor.

Mesoporous carbon originated from non-permanent porous MOFs for gas storage and CO2/CH4 separation.

Project description:Four nanoporous carbons prepared by direct carbonization of non-permanent highly porous MOF [Zn3(BTC)2 · (H2O)3]n without any additional carbon precursors. The carbonization temperature plays an important role in the pore structures of the resultant carbons. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas of four carbon materials vary from 464 to 1671 m(2) g(-1) for different carbonization temperature. All the four carbon materials showed a mesoporous structure centered at ca. 3 nm, high surface area and good physicochemical stability. Hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide sorption measurements indicated that the C1000 has good gas uptake capabilities. The excess H2 uptake at 77 K and 17.9 bar can reach 32.9 mg g(-1) and the total uptake is high to 45 mg g(-1). Meanwhile, at 95 bar, the total CH4 uptake can reach as high as 208 mg g(-1). Moreover the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) prediction exhibited exceptionally high adsorption selectivity for CO2/CH4 in an equimolar mixture at 298 K and 1 bar (S(ads) = 27) which is significantly higher than that of some porous materials in the similar condition.

Sustainable Biomass Glucose-Derived Porous Carbon Spheres with High Nitrogen Doping: As a Promising Adsorbent for CO2/CH4/N2 Adsorptive Separation.

Project description:Separation of CO2/CH4/N2 is significantly important from the view of environmental protection and energy utilization. In this work, we reported nitrogen (N)-doped porous carbon spheres prepared from sustainable biomass glucose via hydrothermal carbonization, CO2 activation, and urea treatment. The optimal carbon sample exhibited a high CO2 and CH4 capacity, as well as a low N2 uptake, under ambient conditions. The excellent selectivities toward CO2/N2, CO2/CH4, and CH4/N2 binary mixtures were predicted by ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) via correlating pure component adsorption isotherms with the Langmuir-Freundlich model. At 25 °C and 1 bar, the adsorption capacities for CO2 and CH4 were 3.03 and 1.3 mmol g-1, respectively, and the IAST predicated selectivities for CO2/N2 (15/85), CO2/CH4 (10/90), and CH4/N2 (30/70) reached 16.48, 7.49, and 3.76, respectively. These results should be attributed to the synergistic effect between suitable microporous structure and desirable N content. This report introduces a simple pathway to obtain N-doped porous carbon spheres to meet the flue gas and energy gas adsorptive separation requirements.

A three dimensional graphdiyne-like porous triptycene network for gas adsorption and separation† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See https://doi.org/10.1039/d2ra04031j

Project description:Graphdiyne, an emerging carbon allotrope, has attracted many researchers devoted to the study of its synthesis and application. The utilization of graphdiyne in gas adsorption and separation has been predicted by computer simulation with many examples. In this work, the triangular basic unit of graphdiyne was introduced into a triptycene-based porous organic polymer to obtain a three dimensional graphdiyne-like porous triptycene network named G-PTN. With high surface area and a microporous structure, G-PTN exhibited convincing application potential for the storage of gas molecules, especially for the selective adsorption of acetylene over ethylene. Computational simulation proved the importance of the triptycene units and three dimensional structure to the selectivity, as well as the potential of graphdiyne units as selective binding sites, suggesting that through judicious design, new three-dimensional porous graphdiyne could be acquired with better gas adsorption and separation performance. The graphdiyne unit was proved to exhibit application potential for acetylene/ethylene separation in this work through constructing a three dimensional graphdiyne-like porous triptycene network.
