NU-1000, a zirconium-based metal-organic framework featuring mesoporous channels, has been post-synthetically metalated via atomic layer deposition in MOF (AIM) employing dimethylaluminum iso-propoxide ([AlMe₂ⁱOPr]₂ – DMAI), a milder precursor than widely used trimethylaluminum (AlMe₃ - TMA). The aluminum-modified NU-1000 (Al-NU-1000) has been characterized with a comprehensive suite of techniques that points to the formation of aluminum oxide clusters well dispersed through the framework and stabilized by confinement within small pores intrinsic to the NU-1000 structure. Experimental evidence allows for identification of spectroscopic similarities between Al-NU-1000 and γ-Al₂O₃. Density functional theory modeling provides structures and simulated spectra the relevance of which can be assessed via comparison to experimental IR and EXAFS data. As a result, the catalytic performance of Al-NU-1000 has been benchmarked against γ-Al₂O₃, with promising results in terms of selectivity.
