Title: Separation of Light Hydrocarbons through Selective Molecular Exclusion by a Microporous Metal–Organic Framework

Abstract

Abstract [Zn ₂ (sdc) ₂ (bpe)] (compound 1 , sdc=4,4′‐stilbenedicarboxylate, bpe=1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethane)), a doubly interpenetrated, pillared‐layer microporous metal–organic framework has been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The structure features a common Zn ₂ (COO) ₄ paddle‐wheel building unit. Compound 1 undergoes structural change upon solvent removal. The activated phase (compound 2 ) displays permanent porosity, excellent thermal/moisture stability, and interesting hydrocarbon adsorption properties. Gas adsorption experiments show that compound 1 selectively adsorbs saturated/unsaturated C ₂ hydrocarbons but excludes C ₃ and C ₄ hydrocarbons at room temperature. We have collected single‐component adsorption isotherms of six light hydrocarbons and calculated adsorption selectivities of various binary hydrocarbon mixtures by ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST). The results show that compound 1 possesses remarkably high selectivity towards C ₂ over C ₃ /C ₄ hydrocarbons and the separation is achieved by selective molecular exclusion.

Gas adsorption/separation properties of metal directed self-assembly of two coordination polymers with 5-nitroisophthalate

Journal Article Arıcı, Mürsel ; Yeşilel, Okan Zafer, E-mail: yesilel@ogu.edu.tr ; Keskin, Seda ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Two new coordination polymers, namely, [Co(µ-nip)(µ-bpe)]{sub n} (1) and [Zn(µ-nip)(µ-bpe)]{sub n} (2) (nip: 5-nitroisophthalate, bpe: 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane) were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and thermal analysis. Moreover, atomically detailed simulation studies of complex 2 for CO{sub 2}/CH{sub 4} adsorption and separation were performed. Complex 1 consists of two dimensional (2D) (4,4) grid networks with the point symbol of 4{sup 4}.6{sup 2}. Complex 2 exhibits a 3-fold interpenetrating 3D framework with 6{sup 5}.8-dmp topology. Thermal properties of the complexes showed that both complexes were stable over 320 °C. Simulation studies demonstrated that complexmore »« less

Ancillary ligand-assisted assembly of C{sub 3}-symmetric 4,4′,4″-nitrilotribenzoic acid with divalent Zn{sup 2+} ions: Syntheses, topological structures, and photoluminescence properties

Journal Article Cui, Li-Ting ; Niu, Yan-Fei ; Han, Jie ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

4,4′,4″-nitrilotribenzoic acid (H{sub 3}L), a C{sub 3}-symmetric ligand, was found to self-assemble into two polymorphs driven by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions. Reactions of this ligand with Zn{sup 2+} under solvothermal conditions resulted in four new coordination polymers bearing interesting structural motifs: [Zn{sub 2}(L){sub 2}(py){sub 2}]·2(H{sub 2}NMe{sub 2}){sup +}·DMF·2H{sub 2}O (1), [Zn{sub 2}(L)(H{sub 2}L)(bipy)]·1.5H{sub 2}O·Guest (2), [Zn{sub 2}(L){sub 2}(bipy)]·2(H{sub 2}NMe{sub 2}){sup +}·2DMF (3), and [Zn{sub 3}(L){sub 2}(bpa)]·2H{sub 2}O·Guest (4) (H{sub 3}L=4,4′,4′′-nitrilotribenzoic acid, DMF=dimethylformamide, py=pyridine, bipy=4,4′-bipyridine, bpa=1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)diazene). Single-crystal structural analysis revealed that compound 1 exhibits a rare example of twofold interpenetrating anionic 3D (3,3)-net framework containing helical channels, whereas in 2, the 3Dmore »« less

Topological evolution and photoluminescent properties of a series of divalent zinc-based metal–organic frameworks tuned via ancillary ligating spacers

Journal Article Lian, Xiao-Min ; Zhao, Wen ; Zhao, Xiao-Li - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The combination of divalent zinc ions, 4-(4-carboxybenzamido)benzoic acid and exo-bidendate bipyridine ligands gave rise to a series of new MOFs: [ZnL(bipy)]·DMF·H{sub 2}O (1), [ZnL(bpe)]·1.5H{sub 2}O (2), [ZnL(bpa)]·4H{sub 2}O (3) and [ZnL(bpp)]·1.75H{sub 2}O (4) (MOF=metal-organic framework, bipy=4,4′-bipyridine, bpe=trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, bpa=1,2-bis(4-pyridinyl)ethane, bpp=1,3-bis(4-pyridinyl)propane, H{sub 2}L=4,4′-(carbonylimino)dibenzoic acid). Fine tune over the topology of the MOFs was achieved via systematically varying the geometric length of the second ligating bipyridine ligands. Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that complex 1 has a triply interpenetrated three-dimensional (3D) framework with elongated primitive cubic topology, whereas isostructural complexes 2 and 3 each possesses a 6-fold interpenetrated diamondiod 3D framework.

H{sub 2}bpz bridges Co{sub 2}(O{sub 2}C-R){sub 4} clusters with an angular coordination configuration to form interesting left- and right-handed helical chains. 1 possesses a two-dimensional porous system decorated by uncoordinated pyrazole –NH groups of H{sub 2}bpz, leading to high adsorption selectivities for CO{sub 2} over N{sub 2} andmore »« less

Three new mixed-ligand metal-organic frameworks based on 5,5′-(butane-1,4- diyl)-bis(oxy)-diisophthalic acid and transitional metal cations with the help of two ancillary bridging N-donor pyridyl and imidazole linkers, [Zn(L){sub 0.5}(4,4′-bpy)]·2(H{sub 2}O) (1), [M(L){sub 0.5}(bib)]·4(H{sub 2}O) (M = Zn (2), Co (3)), (4,4′-bpy=4,4′–bipyridine, bib=1,4-bis (1H-imidazol-1-yl)-butane), have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Their structures and properties were determined by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analyses, IR spectra, elemental analyses and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA).
