Manometric real-time studies of the mechanochemical synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks.

ABSTRACT: We demonstrate a simple method for real-time monitoring of mechanochemical synthesis of metal-organic frameworks, by measuring changes in pressure of gas produced in the reaction. Using this manometric method to monitor the mechanosynthesis of the zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-8 from basic zinc carbonate reveals an intriguing feedback mechanism in which the initially formed ZIF-8 reacts with the CO₂ byproduct to produce a complex metal carbonate phase, the structure of which is determined directly from powder X-ray diffraction data. We also show that the formation of the carbonate phase may be prevented by addition of excess ligand. The excess ligand can subsequently be removed by sublimation, and reused. This enables not only the synthesis but also the purification, as well as the activation of the MOF to be performed entirely without solvent.

Zeolitic boron imidazolate frameworks.

Project description:B-hive? A family of crystalline materials analogous to porous AlPO(4) but based on boron imidazolate frameworks (BIFs) can be formed by the crosslinking of various presynthesized boron imidazolates with monovalent cations (Li(+) and Cu(+), see picture). This synthetic method is capable of generating a large variety of open frameworks, ranging from the four-connected zeolitic sodalite type to the three-connected chiral (10,3)-a type.

Exploring the Scope of Macrocyclic "Shoe-last" Templates in the Mechanochemical Synthesis of RHO Topology Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs).

Project description:The macrocyclic cavitand MeMeCH2 is used as a template for the mechanochemical synthesis of 0.2MeMeCH2@RHO-Zn16(Cl2Im)32 (0.2MeMeCH2@ZIF-71) and RHO-ZnBIm2 (ZIF-11) zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs). It is shown that MeMeCH2 significantly accelerates the mechanochemical synthesis, providing high porosity products (BET surface areas of 1140 m2/g and 869 m2/g, respectively). Templation of RHO-topology ZIF frameworks constructed of linkers larger than benzimidazole (HBIm) was unsuccessful. It is also shown that cavitands other than MeMeCH2-namely MeHCH2, MeiBuCH2, HPhCH2, MePhCH2, BrPhCH2, BrC5CH2-can serve as effective templates for the synthesis of x(cavitand)@RHO-ZnIm2 products. The limitations on cavitand size and shape are explored in terms of their effectiveness as templates.

Meltable, Glass-Forming, Iron Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks.

Project description:We describe the first meltable iron-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), denoted MUV-24. This material, elusive from direct synthesis, is obtained from the thermal treatment of [Fe3(im)6(Him)2], which yields Fe(im)2 upon loss of the neutral imidazole molecules. Different crystalline phase transformations are observed upon further heating, until the material melts at 482 °C. Vitrification upon cooling of the liquid phase gives rise to the first Fe-metal-organic framework glass. X-ray total scattering experiments show that the tetrahedral environment of the crystalline solids is maintained in the glass, whereas nanoindentation measurements reveal an increase in Young's modulus, in agreement with stiffening upon vitrification.

Mixed metal node effect in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks.

Project description:We synthesized two series of bimetallic (zinc and cobalt) zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-62) under different solvothermal conditions. It is found that the structure of the derived ZIF crystals is highly sensitive to synthesis conditions. One series possesses the standard ZIF-62 structure, whereas the other has a mixed structure composed of both the standard structure and an unknown one. The standard series exhibits a slight negative deviation from linearity of melting temperature (T m) and glass transition temperature (T g) with the substitution of Co for Zn. In contrast, the new series displays a stronger negative deviation. These negative deviations from linearity indicate the mixed metal node effect in bimetallic ZIF-62 due to the structural mismatch between Co2+ and Zn2+ and to the difference in their electronic configurations. The new series involves both cobalt-rich and zinc-rich phases, whereas the standard one shows one homogeneous phase. Density functional theory calculations predict that the substitution of Co for Zn increases the bulk modulus of the ZIF crystals. This work indicates that the structure, melting behaviour, and mechanical properties of ZIFs can be tuned by metal node substitution and by varying the synthetic conditions. Both series of ZIFs have higher glass forming abilities due to their higher T g/T m ratios (0.77-0.84) compared to most good glass formers.

Pore closure in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks under mechanical pressure.

Project description:We investigate the pressure-dependent mechanical behaviour of the zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-4 (M(im)2; M2+ = Co2+ or Zn2+, im- = imidazolate) with high pressure, synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction and mercury intrusion measurements. A displacive phase transition from a highly compressible open pore (op) phase with continuous porosity (space group Pbca, bulk modulus ?1.4 GPa) to a closed pore (cp) phase with inaccessible porosity (space group P21/c, bulk modulus ?3.3-4.9 GPa) is triggered by the application of mechanical pressure. Over the course of the transitions, both ZIF-4 materials contract by about 20% in volume. However, the threshold pressure, the reversibility and the immediate repeatability of the phase transition depend on the metal cation. ZIF-4(Zn) undergoes the op-cp phase transition at a hydrostatic mechanical pressure of only 28 MPa, while ZIF-4(Co) requires about 50 MPa to initiate the transition. Interestingly, ZIF-4(Co) fully returns to the op phase after decompression, whereas ZIF-4(Zn) remains in the cp phase after pressure release and requires subsequent heating to switch back to the op phase. These variations in high pressure behaviour can be rationalised on the basis of the different electron configurations of the respective M2+ ions (3d10 for Zn2+ and 3d7 for Co2+). Our results present the first examples of op-cp phase transitions (i.e. breathing transitions) of ZIFs driven by mechanical pressure and suggest potential applications of these functional materials as shock absorbers, nanodampers, or in mechanocalorics.

Exceptional chemical and thermal stability of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks.

Project description:Twelve zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs; termed ZIF-1 to -12) have been synthesized as crystals by copolymerization of either Zn(II) (ZIF-1 to -4, -6 to -8, and -10 to -11) or Co(II) (ZIF-9 and -12) with imidazolate-type links. The ZIF crystal structures are based on the nets of seven distinct aluminosilicate zeolites: tetrahedral Si(Al) and the bridging O are replaced with transition metal ion and imidazolate link, respectively. In addition, one example of mixed-coordination imidazolate of Zn(II) and In(III) (ZIF-5) based on the garnet net is reported. Study of the gas adsorption and thermal and chemical stability of two prototypical members, ZIF-8 and -11, demonstrated their permanent porosity (Langmuir surface area = 1,810 m(2)/g), high thermal stability (up to 550 degrees C), and remarkable chemical resistance to boiling alkaline water and organic solvents.

Core-Shell Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks for Enhanced Hydrogen Storage.

Project description:Core-shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67- and ZIF-67@ZIF-8-based zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) were synthesized solvothermally using a seed-mediated methodology. Transmission electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, line scan, elemental mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy analyses were performed to confirm the formation of a core-shell structure with the controlled Co/Zn elemental composition of ∼0.50 for both the core-shell ZIFs. The synthesized core-shell ZIF-8@ZIF-67 and ZIF-67@ZIF-8 frameworks conferred enhanced H2 (2.03 and 1.69 wt %) storage properties at 77 K and 1 bar, which are ca. 41 and 18%, respectively, higher than that of the parent ZIF-8. Notably, the distinctly remarkable H2 storage properties shown by both the core-shell ZIFs over the bimetallic Co/Zn-ZIF and the physical mixture of ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 clearly evidenced their unique structural properties (confinement of porosity) and elemental heterogeneity due to the core-shell morphology of the outperforming core-shell ZIFs. Moreover, H2 adsorption isotherm data of these frameworks are best fitted with the Langmuir model (R 2 ≥ 0.9999). Along with the remarkably enhanced H2 storage capacities, the core-shell ZIFs also displayed an improved CO2 capture behavior. Hence, we demonstrated here that the controlled structural features endorsed by the rationally designed porous materials may find high potential in H2 storage applications.

Solvent-free bottom-up patterning of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks.

Project description:Patterning metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) at submicrometer scale is a crucial yet challenging task for their integration in miniaturized devices. Here we report an electron beam (e-beam) assisted, bottom-up approach for patterning of two MOFs, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF), ZIF-8 and ZIF-67. A mild pretreatment of metal oxide precursors with linker vapor leads to the sensitization of the oxide surface to e-beam irradiation, effectively inhibiting subsequent conversion of the oxide to ZIFs in irradiated areas, while ZIF growth in non-irradiated areas is not affected. Well-resolved patterns with features down to the scale of 100 nm can be achieved. This developer-free, all-vapor phase technique will facilitate the incorporation of MOFs in micro- and nanofabrication processes.

Vibrational Fingerprinting of Defects Sites in Thin Films of Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks.

Project description:Surface-mounted metal-organic frameworks (SURMOFs) are crystalline films of MOFs and have garnered a great deal of attention in the past years. So far, thin-film MOF research has been mainly focused on the synthesis and the exploration of potential applications of these materials, while a detailed understanding of their growth is still lacking. In this report evidence is provided for the inter-grown nature of surface-mounted thin films of Zn-ZIF-8 (SURZIF-8; ZIF=zeolitic imidazolate framework). Two distinct SURZIF-8 thin films have been made through layer-by-layer (LBL) growth after applying 20 and 50?LBL cycles. They have been characterized with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman micro-spectroscopy. A detailed analysis of the Raman mapping data, inter alia using principal component analysis (PCA), revealed the existence of phase boundaries within the 20-cycle thin film, while the 50-cycle thin film is chemically more homogeneous. To further analyze these chemical heterogeneities, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed of three theoretical models providing spectroscopic fingerprints of the molecular vibrations associated with the Zn-ZIF-8 thin films. Based on these calculations and the experimental data distinct vibrational markers indicative for the presence of defects sites were identified.

Towards implementing hierarchical porous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks in dye-sensitized solar cells.

Project description:A one-pot method for encapsulation of dye, which can be applied for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), and synthesis of hierarchical porous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8), is reported. The size of the encapsulated dye tunes the mesoporosity and surface area of ZIF-8. The mesopore size, Langmuir surface area and pore volume are 15 nm, 960-1500 m2 · g-1 and 0.36-0.61 cm3 · g-1, respectively. After encapsulation into ZIF-8, the dyes show longer emission lifetimes (greater than 4-8-fold) as compared to the corresponding non-encapsulated dyes, due to suppression of aggregation, and torsional motions.
