Enhanced Adsorption Selectivity of Carbon Dioxide and Ethane on Porous Metal-Organic Framework Functionalized by a Sulfur-Rich Heterocycle.

ABSTRACT: Porous metal-organic framework [Zn2(ttdc)2(bpy)] (1) based on thieno [3,2-b]thiophenedicarboxylate (ttdc) was synthesized and characterized. The structure contains intersected zig-zag channels with an average aperture of 4 × 6 Å and a 49% (v/v) guest-accessible pore volume. Gas adsorption studies confirmed the microporous nature of 1 with a specific surface area (BET model) of 952 m2·g-1 and a pore volume of 0.37 cm3·g-1. Extensive CO2, N2, O2, CO, CH4, C2H2, C2H4 and C2H6 gas adsorption experiments at 273 K and 298 K were carried out, which revealed the great adsorption selectivity of C2H6 over CH4 (IAST selectivity factor 14.8 at 298 K). The sulfur-rich ligands and double framework interpenetration in 1 result in a dense decoration of the inner surface by thiophene heterocyclic moieties, which are known to be effective secondary adsorption sites for carbon dioxide. As a result, remarkable CO2 adsorption selectivities were obtained for CO2/CH4 (11.7) and CO2/N2 (27.2 for CO2:N2 = 1:1, 56.4 for CO2:N2 = 15:85 gas mixtures). The computational DFT calculations revealed the decisive role of the sulfur-containing heterocycle moieties in the adsorption of CO2 and C2H6. High CO2 adsorption selectivity values and a relatively low isosteric heat of CO2 adsorption (31.4 kJ·mol-1) make the porous material 1 a promising candidate for practical separation of biogas as well as for CO2 sequestration from flue gas or natural gas.

Project description:Solvent-assisted ligand incorporation (SALI) of the ditopic linker 5-carboxy-3-(4-carboxybenzyl)thiazolium bromide [(H2PhTz)Br] into the zirconium metal-organic framework NU-1000 [Zr6O4(OH)8(H2O)4(TBAPy)2, where NU = Northwestern University and H4TBAPy = 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-benzoic-acid)pyrene], led to the SALIed NU-1000-PhTz material of minimal formula [Zr6O4(OH)6(H2O)2(TBAPy)2(PhTz)]Br. NU-1000-PhTz has been thoroughly characterized in the solid state. As confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction, this material keeps the same three-dimensional architecture of NU-1000 and the dicarboxylic extra linker bridges adjacent [Zr6] nodes ca. 8 Å far apart along the crystallographic c-axis. The functionalized MOF has a BET specific surface area of 1560 m2/g, and it is featured by a slightly higher thermal stability than its parent material (Tdec = 820 vs. 800 K, respectively). NU-1000-PhTz has been exploited for the capture and separation of two pollutant gases: carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O). The high thermodynamic affinity for both gases [isosteric heat of adsorption (Qst) = 25 and 27 kJ mol-1 for CO2 and N2O, respectively] reasonably stems from the strong interactions between these (polar) "stick-like" molecules and the ionic framework. Intriguingly, NU-1000-PhTz shows an unprecedented temperature-dependent adsorption capacity, loading more N2O in the 298 K ≤ T ≤ 313 K range but more CO2 at temperatures falling out of this range. Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations of the adsorption isotherms confirmed that the preferential adsorption sites of both gases are the triangular channels (micropores) in close proximity to the polar pillar. While CO2 interacts with the thiazolium ring in an "end-on" fashion through its O atoms, N2O adopts a "side-on" configuration through its three atoms simultaneously. These findings open new horizons in the discovery of functional materials that may discriminate between polluting gases through selective adsorption at different temperatures.
