Insights into the Dynamics of Grotthuss Mechanism in a Proton-Conducting Chiral bioMOF
Proton conduction in solids attracts great interest, not only because of possible applications in fuel cell technologies, but also because of the main role of this process in many biological mechanisms. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) can exhibit exceptional proton-conduction performances, because of the large number of hydrogen-bonded water molecules embedded in their pores. However, further work remains to be done to elucidate the real conducting mechanism. Among the different MOF subfamilies, bioMOFs, which have been constructed using biomolecule derivatives as building blocks and often affording water-stable materials, emerge as valuable systems to study the transport mechanisms involve…
Postsynthetic Improvement of the Physical Properties in a Metal-Organic Framework through a Single Crystal to Single Crystal Transmetallation
As ingle crystal to single crystal transmetallation process takes place in the three-dimensional (3D) metal- organic framework (MOF) of formula Mg II 2{Mg II 4(Cu II 2- (Me3mpba)2)3}·45 H2 O( 1 ;M e 3mpba 4¢ = N,N'-2,4,6-trimethyl- 1,3-phenylenebis(oxamate)). After complete replacement of the Mg II ions within the coordination network and those hosted in the channels by either Co II or Ni II ions, 1 is transmetallated to yield two novel MOFs of formulae Co2 II {Co II 4(Cu II 2(Me3- mpba)2)3}·56 H2 O( 2 )a nd Ni2 II {Ni II 4(Cu II 2(Me3mpba)2)3}· 54 H2 O( 3). This unique postsynthetic metal substitution affords materials with higher structural stability leading to enhanced gas sorption and m…
Tuning the selectivity of light hydrocarbons in natural gas in a family of isoreticular MOFs
Purification of methane from other light hydrocarbons in natural gas is a topic of intense research due to its fundamental importance in the utilization of natural gas fields. Porous materials have emerged as excellent alternative platforms to conventional cryogenic methodologies to perform this task in a cost- and energy-efficient manner. Here we report a new family of isoreticular chiral MOFs, prepared from oxamidato ligands derived from natural amino acids L-alanine, L-valine and L-leucine, where, by increasing the length of the alkyl residue of the amino acid, the charge density of the MOF's channels can be tuned (1 > 2 > 3), decreasing the adsorption preference towards methane over lig…
