Zr-MOFs for CF₄/CH₄, CH₄/H₂, and CH₄/N₂ separation: towards the goal of discovering stable and effective adsorbents.

ABSTRACT: Zirconium metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be promising adsorbents for various applications as they are highly stable in different chemical environments. In this work, a collection of Zr-MOFs comprised of more than 100 materials is screened for CF₄/CH₄, CH₄/H₂, and CH₄/N₂ separations using atomistic-level simulations. The top three MOFs for the CF₄/CH₄ separation are identified as PCN-700-BPDC-TPDC, LIFM-90, and BUT-67 exhibiting CF₄/CH₄ adsorption selectivities of 4.8, 4.6, and 4.7, CF₄ working capacities of 2.0, 2.0, and 2.1 mol kg^-1, and regenerabilities of 85.1, 84.2, and 75.7%, respectively. For the CH₄/H₂ separation, MOF-812, BUT-67, and BUT-66 are determined to be the top performing MOFs demonstrating CH₄/H₂ selectivities of 61.6, 36.7, and 46.2, CH₄ working capacities of 3.0, 4.1, and 3.4 mol kg^-1, and CH₄ regenerabilities of 70.7, 82.7, and 74.7%, respectively. Regarding the CH₄/N₂ separation, BUT-67, Zr-AbBA, and PCN-702 achieving CH₄/N₂ selectivities of 4.5, 3.4, and 3.8, CH₄ working capacities of 3.6, 3.9, and 3.5 mol kg^-1, and CH₄ regenerabilities of 81.1, 84.0, and 84.5%, in successive order, show the best overall separation performances. To further elucidate the adsorption in top performing adsorbents, the adsorption sites in these materials are analyzed using radial distribution functions and adsorbate density profiles. Finally, the water affinities of Zr-MOFs are explored to comment on their practical use in real gas separation applications. Our findings may inspire future studies probing the adsorption/separation mechanisms and performances of Zr-MOFs for different gases.

Computational investigation of multifunctional MOFs for adsorption and membrane-based separation of CF4/CH4, CH4/H2, CH4/N2, and N2/H2 mixtures.

Project description:The ease of functionalization of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can unlock unprecedented opportunities for gas adsorption and separation applications as the functional groups can impart favorable/unfavorable regions/interactions for the desired/undesired adsorbates. In this study, the effects of the presence of multiple functional groups in MOFs on their CF4/CH4, CH4/H2, CH4/N2, and N2/H2 separation performances were computationally investigated combining grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The most promising adsorbents showing the best combinations of selectivity, working capacity, and regenerability were identified for each gas separation. 15, 13, and 16 out of the top 20 MOFs identified for the CH4/H2, CH4/N2, and N2/H2 adsorption-based separation, respectively, were found to have -OCH3 groups as one of the functional groups. The biggest improvements in CF4/CH4, CH4/H2, CH4/N2, and N2/H2 selectivities were found to be induced by the presence of -OCH3-OCH3 groups in MOFs. For CH4/H2 separation, MOFs with two and three functionalized linkers were the best adsorbent candidates while for N2/H2 separation, all the top 20 materials involve two functional groups. Membrane performances of the MOFs were also studied for CH4/H2 and CH4/N2 separation and the results showed that MOFs having -F-NH2 and -F-OCH3 functional groups present the highest separation performances considering both the membrane selectivity and permeability.

Ionic Association in CH3-(CH2-CF2) n -CH3(PVDF)-Li+-(CF3SO2)2N- for n = 1, 4: A Computational Approach.

Project description:The ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes is governed by the ionic association caused by the polymer···Li+ and the anion···Li+ interactions. We performed the density functional calculation to analyze the molecular interactions in the CH3-(CH2-CF2) n -CH3-Li+-(CF3SO2)2N- for n = 1,4 systems. The gauche conformation is predicted in the lowest energy conformer of pure polymer except for n = 1. The lithium coordination number with the polymer is changed from 3 to 2 in the presence of anion for n = 2, 4 systems. The consequences of the Li+ ion and Li+-(CF3SO2)2N- to the vibrational spectrum are studied to understand the ionic association at the molecular level.

Product distribution and mechanism of the OH- initiated tropospheric degradation of three CFC replacement candidates: CH3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2, (CF3)2C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2 and (E/Z)-CF3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CHF.

Project description:The OH radical initiated photodegradation of 2-fluoropropene (CH3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2), 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(tri-fluoromethyl)propene ((CF3)2C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2) and (E/Z)-1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene ((E/Z)-CF3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CHF) has been investigated for the first time using a 1080 L quartz-glass environmental chamber at 298 ± 2 K and atmospheric pressure of synthetic air coupled with in situ FTIR spectroscopy to monitor reactants and products. The major products observed in the OH reaction were CH3C(O)F (98 ± 5)% together with HC(O)H (89 ± 7)% as a co-product, CF3C(O)F (103 ± 8)% together with HC(O)F (96 ± 7)% as a co-product and CF3C(O)CF3 (91 ± 8)% together with HC(O)H (98 ± 12)% as a co-product from the C1-C2 bond cleavage channel of the intermediate hydroxyalkoxy radical, formed by addition of OH to the terminal carbon of the double bond which is designated C1 of 2-fluoropropene, (E/Z)-1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene and 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(tri-fluoromethyl)propene, respectively. The present results are compared with previous studies for the reaction of OH with the separate isomers (E) and (Z) of 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene. In addition, atmospheric implications of the reactions studied are discussed.

Interplay between structural parameters and reactivity of Zr6-based MOFs as artificial proteases.

Project description:Structural parameters influencing the reactivity of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) are challenging to establish. However, understanding their effect is crucial to further develop their catalytic potential. Here, we uncovered a correlation between reaction kinetics and the morphological structure of MOF-nanozymes using the hydrolysis of a dipeptide under physiological pH as model reaction. Comparison of the activation parameters in the presence of NU-1000 with those observed with MOF-808 revealed the reaction outcome is largely governed by the Zr6 cluster. Additionally, its structural environment completely changes the energy profile of the hydrolysis step, resulting in a higher energy barrier ΔG ‡ for NU-1000 due to a much larger ΔS ‡ term. The reactivity of NU-1000 towards a hen egg white lysozyme protein under physiological pH was also evaluated, and the results pointed to a selective cleavage at only 3 peptide bonds. This showcases the potential of Zr-MOFs to be developed into heterogeneous catalysts for non-enzymatic but selective transformation of biomolecules, which are crucial for many modern applications in biotechnology and proteomics.

Trifluorinated Tetralins via I(I)/I(III)-Catalysed Ring Expansion: Programming Conformation by [CH2 CH2 ] → [CF2 CHF] Isosterism.

Project description:Saturated, fluorinated carbocycles are emerging as important modules for contemporary drug discovery. To expand the current portfolio, the synthesis of novel trifluorinated tetralins has been achieved. Fluorinated methyleneindanes serve as convenient precursors and undergo efficient difluorinative ring expansion with in situ generated p-TolIF2 (>20 examples, up to >95 %). A range of diverse substituents are tolerated under standard catalysis conditions and this is interrogated by Hammett analysis. X-ray analysis indicates a preference for the CH-F bond to occupy a pseudo-axial orientation, consistent with stabilising σC-H →σC-F * interactions. The replacement of the symmetric [CH2 -CH2 ] motif by [CF2 -CHF] removes the conformational degeneracy intrinsic to the parent tetralin scaffold leading to a predictable half-chair. The conformational behavior of this novel structural balance has been investigated by computational analysis and is consistent with stereoelectronic theory.

Stable and Storable N(CF3 )2 Transfer Reagents.

Project description:Fluorinated groups are essential for drug design, agrochemicals, and materials science. The bis(trifluoromethyl)amino group is an example of a stable group that has a high potential. While the number of molecules containing perfluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkoxy, and other fluorinated groups is steadily increasing, examples with the N(CF3 )2 group are rare. One reason is that transfer reagents are scarce and metal-based storable reagents are unknown. Herein, a set of CuI and AgI bis(trifluoromethyl)amido complexes stabilized by N- and P-donor ligands with unprecedented stability are presented. The complexes are stable solids that can even be manipulated in air for a short time. They are bis(trifluoromethyl)amination reagents as shown by nucleophilic substitution and Sandmeyer reactions. In addition to a series of benzylbis(trifluoromethyl)amines, 2-bis(trifluoromethyl)amino acetate was obtained, which, upon hydrolysis, gives the fluorinated amino acid N,N-bis(trifluoromethyl)glycine.

Adsorption Behavior of High Stable Zr-Based MOFs for the Removal of Acid Organic Dye from Water.

Project description:Zirconium based metal organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) have become popular in engineering studies due to their high mechanical stability, thermostability and chemical stability. In our work, by using a theoretical kinetic adsorption isotherm, we can exert MOFs to an acid dye adsorption process, experimentally exploring the adsorption of MOFs, their external behavior and internal mechanism. The results indicate their spontaneous and endothermic nature, and the maximum adsorption capacity of this material for acid orange 7 (AO7) could be up to 358 mg·g-1 at 318 K, estimated by the Langmuir isotherm model. This is ascribed to the presence of an open active metal site that significantly intensified the adsorption, by majorly increasing the interaction strength with the adsorbates. Additionally, the enhanced π delocalization and suitable pore size of UiO-66 gave rise to the highest host-guest interaction, which further improves both the adsorption capacity and separation selectivity at low concentrations. Furthermore, the stability of UiO-66 was actually verified for the first time, through comparing the structure of the samples before and after adsorption mainly by Powder X-ray diffraction and thermal gravimetric analysis.

Reductively Stable Hydrogen-Bonding Ligands Featuring Appended CF2-H Units.

Project description:We present the development of ligands featuring the unconventional hydrogen bond donor, -CF2H, within a metal's secondary coordination sphere. When metalated with palladium, o-CF2H-functionalized 1,10-phenanthroline provides highly directed H-bonding interactions with Pd-coordinated substrates. Spectroscopic and computational analyses with a series of X-type ligand acceptors (-F, -Cl, -Br, -OR) establish the H-bonding interaction strength for the -CF2H group (∼3 kcal/mol). The synthesis of Pd0/Ni0 complexes and subsequent coupling (Ni) highlight the unique reductive and base compatibility of the -CF2H hydrogen bond donor group.

In Silico Tuning of the Pore Surface Functionality in Al-MOFs for Trace CH3I Capture.

Project description:Aluminum (Al)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been shown to have good stability toward γ irradiation, making them promising candidates for durable adsorbents for capturing volatile radioactive nuclides. In this work, we studied a series of existing Al-MOFs to capture trace radioactive organic iodide (ROI) from a gas composition (100 ppm CH3I, 400 ppm CO2, 21% O2, and 78% N2) resembling the off-gas composition from reprocessing the used nuclear fuel using Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Based on the results and understanding established from studying the existing Al-MOFs, we proceed by functionalizing the top-performing CAU-11 with different functional groups to propose better MOFs for ROI capture. Our study suggests that extraordinary ROI adsorption and separation capability could be realized by -SO3H functionalization in CAU-11. It was mainly owing to the joint effect of the enhanced pore surface polarity arising from -SO3H functionalization and the μ-OH group of CAU-11.
