Title: Creating Well-Defined Hexabenzocoronene in Zirconium Metal–Organic Framework by Postsynthetic Annulation

Abstract

The incorporation of large π-conjugated ligands into metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) can present interesting photophysical and electrochemical properties into the framework. However, these effects are often hindered by the strong π–π interaction and the low solubility of the arylated ligands. Herein, we report the synthesis of a porous zirconium-based MOF, Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OH)₆(H₂O)₆(HCHC) (PCN-136, HCHC = hexakis(4-carboxyphenyl)hexabenzocoronene), which is composed of a hexacarboxylate linker with a π-conjugated hexabenzocoronene moiety. Direct assembly of the Zr⁴⁺ metal centers and the HCHC ligands was unsuccessful due to the low solubility and the unfavorable conformation of the arylated HCHC ligand. Hence, PCN-136 was obtained from aromatization-driven postsynthetic annulation of the hexaphenylbenzene fragment in a preformed framework (pbz-MOF-1) to avoid π–π stacking. This postsynthetic modification was done through a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation and was clearly observable utilizing single -crystal X-ray crystallography. The formation of large π-conjugated systems on the organic linker dramatically enhanced the photoresponsive properties of PCN-136. With isolated hexabenzocoronene moieties as photosensitizers and Zr–oxo clusters as catalytic sites, PCN-136 was employed as an inherent photocatalytic system for CO₂ reduction under visible-light irradiation, which showed increased activity compared with pbz-MOF-1.

Visible-light harvesting pyrene-based MOFs as efficient ROS generators

Journal Article Zhang, Yingmu ; Pang, Jiandong ; Li, Jialuo ; ... - Chemical Science

The utilization of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in organic transformations is of great interest due to their superior oxidative abilities under mild conditions. Recently, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed as photosensitizers to transfer molecular oxygen to ROS for photochemical synthesis. However, visible-light responsive MOFs for oxygen activation remains scarce. Now we design and synthesize two porous MOFs, namely, PCN-822(M) (M = Zr, Hf), which are constructed by a 4,5,9,10-(K-region) substituted pyrene-based ligand, 4,4',4'',4'''-((2,7-di-tert-butylpyrene-4,5,9,10-tetrayl)tetrakis(ethyne-2,1-diyl))-tetrabenzoate (BPETB^4-). With the extended π-conjugated pyrene moieties isolated on the struts, the derived MOFs are highly responsive to visible light, possessing a broad-band adsorption from 225–650more »« less

Linker Installation: Engineering Pore Environment with Precisely Placed Functionalities in Zirconium MOFs

Journal Article Yuan, Shuai ; Chen, Ying-Pin ; Qin, Jun-Sheng ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

Precise placement of multiple functional groups in a highly ordered metal–organic framework (MOF) platform allows the tailoring of the pore environment, which is required for advanced applications. To realize this, we present a comprehensive study on the linker installation method, in which a stable MOF with coordinatively unsaturated Zr₆ clusters was employed and linkers bearing different functional groups were postsynthetically installed. Specifically, a Zr-MOF with inherent missing linker sites, namely, PCN-700, was initially constructed under kinetic control. Twelve linkers with different substituents were then designed to study their effect on MOF formation kinetics and therefore resulting MOF structures. Guided bymore »« less

Enhancing Pore-Environment Complexity Using a Trapezoidal Linker: Toward Stepwise Assembly of Multivariate Quinary Metal–Organic Frameworks

Journal Article Pang, Jiandong ; Yuan, Shuai ; Qin, Junsheng ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

Multicomponent metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) promise the precise placement of synergistic functional groups with atomic-level precision, capable of promoting fascinating developments in basic sciences and applications. However, the complexity of multicomponent systems poses a challenge to their structural design and synthesis. Herein, we show that linkers of low symmetry can bring new opportunities to the construction of multicomponent MOFs. A carbazole-tetracarboxylate linker of C_s point group symmetry was designed and combined with an 8-connected Zr₆ cluster to generate a low-symmetry MOF, PCN-609. PCN-609 contains coordinatively unsaturated Zr sites arranged within a lattice with three crystallographically distinct pockets, which can accommodate linearmore »« less

Alkaline earth-based coordination polymers derived from a cyclotriphosphazene-functionalized hexacarboxylate

Journal Article Ling, Yajing ; Bai, Dongjie ; Feng, Yunlong ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Combination of hexakis(4-carboxylatephenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene with alkaline earth ions of increasing ionic radii (Mg{sup 2+}, Ca{sup 2+} and Ba{sup 2+}) under different solvothermal conditions yielded three new coordination polymers, and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The magnesium compound displays a three dimensional (3D) network structure constructed from the deprotonated ligand and the secondary building block Mg(COO){sub 4}, which can be rationalized as a (4,6)-connected topological net with the Schläfli symbol of (4{sup 4}·6{sup 2}){sub 3}(4{sup 9}·6{sup 6}){sub 2}. The calcium compound consists of 1D infinite “Ca-O” inorganic chains connected by the deprotonated ligands to from a 3Dmore »« less

Postsynthetic Oxidation of the Coordination Site in a Heterometallic Metal-Organic Framework: Tuning Catalytic Behaviors

Journal Article Han, Yi ; Sinnwell, Michael A. ; Surbella, Robert G. ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

Postsynthetic modification (PSM) in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can introduce multiple functionalities and alter the structural function for the desired application. However, the PSM of the coordination site faces the challenges of structural collapse or incompatibility between the original metal site and the newly formed coordination group. Herein, we developed a novel concept of introducing “primary” and “secondary” nodes, coexisting in a water-stable, Zr-based heterometallic MOF, [Zr6(µ3-OH)8(OH)8][CuI4(L1)4]2 (1-SH-a, H2L1 = 6-mercaptopyridine-3-carboxylic acid). The post-synthetic oxidation at the coordination site was successfully achieved in the “secondary” nodes [CuI4(L1)4]4-, while the robust “primary” nodes [Zr6(µ3-OH)8(OH)8]8+ stabilized the whole framework to form [Zr6(µ3-OH)8(OH)8][(CuI0.44CuII0.56(OH)0.56)4(L2)4]2 (1-SO3H,more »« less
