Title: Extending the Compositional Range of Nanocasting in the Oxozirconium Cluster-Based Metal–Organic Framework NU-1000—A Comparative Structural Analysis

Abstract

Here, the process of nanocasting in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a versatile approach to modify these porous materials by introducing supporting scaffolds. The nanocast scaffolds can stabilize metal-oxo clusters in MOFs at high temperatures and modulate their chemical environments. Here we demonstrate a range of nanocasting approaches in the MOF NU-1000, which contains hexanuclear oxozirconium clusters (denoted as Zr₆ clusters) that are suitable for modification with other metals. We developed methods for introducing SiO₂, TiO₂, polymeric, and carbon scaffolds into the NU-1000 structure. The responses of NU-1000 towards different scaffold precursors were studied, including the effects on morphology, precursor distribution, and porosity after nanocasting. Upon removal of organic linkers in the MOF by calcination/pyrolysis at 500 °C or above, the Zr₆ clusters remained accessible and maintained their Lewis acidity in SiO₂ nanocast samples, whereas additional treatment was necessary for Zr₆ clusters to become accessible in carbon nanocast samples. Aggregation of Zr₆ clusters was largely prevented with SiO₂ or carbon scaffolds even after thermal treatment at 500 °C or above. In the case of titania nanocasting, NU- 1000 crystals underwent a pseudomorphic transformation, in which Zr₆ clusters reacted with titania to form small oxaggregates of a Zr/Ti mixed oxide with amore »« less

Thermal Stabilization of Metal–Organic Framework-Derived Single-Site Catalytic Clusters through Nanocasting

Journal Article Malonzo, Camille D. ; Shaker, Sammy M. ; Ren, Limin ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide convenient systems for organizing high concentrations of single catalytic sites derived from metallic or oxo-metallic nodes. However, high-temperature processes cause agglomeration of these nodes, so that the single-site character and catalytic activity are lost. In this work, we present a simple nanocasting approach to provide a thermally stable secondary scaffold for MOP-based catalytic single sites, preventing their aggregation even after exposure to air at 600 degrees C. We describe the nanocasting of NU-1000, a MOP with 3 nm channels and Lewis-acidic oxozirconium clusters, with silica. By condensing tetramethylorthosilicate within the NU-1000 pores via a vapor-phase HClmore »« less

Assembly of dicobalt and cobalt–aluminum oxide clusters on metal–organic framework and nanocast silica supports

Journal Article Desai, Sai Puneet ; Malonzo, Camille D. ; Webber, Thomas ; ... - Faraday Discussions

NU-1000, a mesoporous metal–organic framework (MOF) featuring hexazirconium oxide nodes and 3 nm wide channels, was infiltrated with a reactive dicobalt complex to install dicobalt active sites onto the MOF nodes. The anchoring of the dicobalt complex onto NU-1000 occurred with a nearly ideal stoichiometry of one bimetallic complex per node and with the cobalt evenly distributed throughout the MOF particle. To access thermally robust multimetallic sites on an all-inorganic support, the modified NU-1000 materials containing either the dicobalt complex, or an analogous cobalt–aluminum species, were nanocast with silica. The resulting materials feature Co₂or Co–Al bimetallated hexazirconium oxide clusters withinmore »« less

Application and Limitations of Nanocasting in Metal–Organic Frameworks

Journal Article Malonzo, Camille D. ; Wang, Zhao ; Duan, Jiaxin ; ... - Inorganic Chemistry

Nanocasting can be a useful strategy to transfer the catalytic metal clusters in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to an all-inorganic support such as silica. The incorporation of silica in the MOF pores as a secondary support has the potential to extend the application of the highly tunable metal-based active sites in MOFs to high temperature catalysis. Here, we demonstrate the applicability of the nanocasting method to a range of MOFs that incorporate catalytically attractive hexazirconium, hexacerium, or pentanickel oxide-based clusters (UiO-66, (Ce)UiO-66, (Ce)UiO-67, (Ce)MOF-808, DUT-9, and In- and Ni-post-metalated NU-1000). We describe, in tutorial form, the challenges associated with nanocasting ofmore »« less

Nanocasting SiO₂ into metal–organic frameworks imparts dual protection to high-loading Fe single-atom electrocatalysts

Journal Article Jiao, Long ; Zhang, Rui ; Wan, Gang ; ... - Nature Communications

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have sparked broad interest recently while the low metal loading poses a big challenge for further applications. Herein, a dual protection strategy has been developed to give high-content SACs by nanocasting SiO₂ into porphyrinic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The pyrolysis of SiO₂@MOF composite affords singleatom Fe implanted N-doped porous carbon (FeSA–N–C) with high Fe loading (3.46 wt%). The spatial isolation of Fe atoms centered in porphyrin linkers of MOF sets the first protective barrier to inhibit the Fe agglomeration during pyrolysis. The SiO₂ in MOF provides additional protection by creating thermally stable FeN4/SiO₂ interfaces. Thanks to the high-densitymore »« less

Fine-Tuning the Activity of Metal–Organic Framework Supported Cobalt Catalysts for the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Propane

Journal Article Li, Zhanyong ; Peters, Aaron W. ; Platero-Prats, Ana E. ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

Few-atom cobalt-oxide clusters, when dispersed on a Zr-based metal–organic framework (MOF) NU-1000, have previously been shown to be active for the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane at low temperatures (< 230 °C), affording a selective and stable propene production catalyst. In our current work, a series of promoter ions with varying Lewis acidity, including Ni(II), Zn(II), Al(III), Ti(IV) and Mo(VI), are anchored as metal-oxide,hydroxide clusters to NU-1000 via SIM (solvothermal deposition within MOFs–specifically the nodes) followed by incorporation of Co(II) ions via vapor-phase AIM (atomic layer deposition (ALD) in MOFs). This process yields a series of NU-1000-supported bimetallic-oxo,hydroxo,aqua clusters. Usingmore »« less
