Zirconium‐Based Metal–Organic Frameworks with Free Hydroxy Groups for Enhanced Perfluorooctanoic Acid Uptake in Water

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a highly recalcitrant organic pollutant, and its bioaccumulation severely endangers human health. While various methods are developed for PFOA removal, the targeted design of adsorbents with high efficiency and reusability remains largely unexplored. Here, in this work, the rational design and synthesis of two novel zirconium‐based metal‒organic frameworks (MOFs) bearing free ortho ‐hydroxy sites, namely noninterpenetrated PCN‐1001 and twofold interpenetrated PCN‐1002, are presented. Single crystal analysis of the pure ligand reveals that intramolecular hydrogen bonding plays a pivotal role in directing the formation of MOFs with free hydroxy groups. Furthermore, the transformation from PCN‐1001 to PCN‐1002 is realized. Compared to PCN‐1001, PCN‐1002 displays higher chemical stability due to interpenetration, thereby demonstrating an exceptional PFOA adsorption capacity of up to 632 mg g −1 (1.53 mmol g −1 ), which is comparable to the reported record values. Moreover, PCN‐1002 shows rapid kinetics, high selectivity, and long‐life cycles in PFOA removal tests. Solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance results and density functional theory calculations reveal that multiple hydrogen bonds between the free ortho ‐hydroxy sites and PFOA, along with Lewis acid‐base interaction, work collaboratively to enhance PFOA adsorption.

Spin diffusion in the Phosphorus-31 NMR relaxation in a layered crystalline α-Sn(IV) phosphate contaminated by paramagnetic impurities

The study of a layered crystalline Sn(IV) phosphate by solid-state NMR has demonstrated that the 31 P T 1 relaxation of phosphate groups, dependent on spinning rate is completely controlled by the limited spin diffusion to paramagnetic ions found by EPR. The spin-diffusion constant, D(SD), was estimated as 2.04 10 –14 cm 2 s –1 . Finally, the conclusion was supported by the 31 P T 1 time measurements in zirconium phosphate 1–1, also showing paramagnetic ions and in diamagnetic compound (NH 4 ) 2 HPO 4 .

Interaction of methanol with a layered α-Sn(IV) phosphate on its surface: A solid-state NMR study

Here, a layered crystalline phosphate, α-Sn(HPO 4 ) 2 ·H 2 O, treated with CD 3 OD was characterized by the 31 P, 119 Sn, 1 H and 2 H solid-state NMR techniques. The 2 H solid-echo MAS NMR spectra of the product have unexpectedly revealed deuterated hydronium ions on the surface of this material instead of intercalated methanol. According to the 13 C NMR and GC–MS studies, these ions are formed by water molecules following a dehydration of the methanol-d 4 to yield deuterated dimethyl ether.

On phosphorus chemical shift anisotropy in metal (IV) phosphates and phosphonates: A 31 P NMR experimental study

The phosphorus chemical shift anisotropies, 31 PΔcs, and asymmetry parameters η were measured by the 31 P{ 1 H} NMR experiments in static and low-frequency spinning samples of the zirconium phosphates and phosphonates and also in the mixed Zr (IV)/Sn (IV) phosphate/phosphonate material. The data obtained have shown a 111 connectivity in the HPO 4 and PO 3 groups, which does not change at modification and intercalation of the materials. The 31 PΔcs values of the phosphonate groups (43–49 ppm) significantly surpass the values characterizing the HPO 4 groups (23–37 ppm). The 31 P Δcs values obtained for the metal (IV) phosphates were discussed in terms of P-O distances. Finally, the 31 P chemical shift anisotropy parameters can help at elucidation of local structures in phosphate and phosphonate materials.

Elucidating structure and dynamics of crystalline α-zirconium phosphates intercalated with water and methanol by multinuclear solid-state MAS NMR: A comprehensive NMR approach

Solid-state NMR experiments on 2 H, 31 P, 13 C, and 1 H nuclei, including 31 P T 1 , 1 H T 1 , and 1 H T 1ρ measurements, as well as on the kinetics of proton-phosphorus cross-polarization have been performed to characterize the crystalline and amorphous α-zirconium phosphates, which were intercalated with D 2 O and/or CD 3 OD. The 13 C{ 1 H} CP MAS NMR experiment performed for compound 1-CD 3 OD (Zr (HPO 4 ) 2 .0.2CD 3 OD) with carbon cross-polarization via protons of phosphate groups has provided a prove that the methanol was intercalated into the interlayer spaces of this compound. The variable-temperature 2 H solid-echo MAS NMR spectra of intercalated compounds demonstrated that the methanol molecules, in contrast to the mobile water, were immobile, keeping, however, free CD 3 rotations around the C 3 -axis. It has been demonstrated that the intercalated species, D 2 O and CD 3 OD, do not affect the high-frequency motions of the phosphate groups. By utilizing local structural models that satisfy the constraints of the experimental data, it has been suggested that the immobile methanol molecules are located in the cavity between two neighboring layers of the zirconium phosphates. Here, the present work illustrates the reliable criteria in a comprehensive NMR approach to structural and dynamic studies of such systems.

Unexpected structural/motional mode of water intercalated into an α-crystalline zirconium phosphate deduced by 31 P and 2 H solid-state MAS NMR spectra

Here, in developing the approach to understanding dynamics of intercalates in layered materials, crystalline-layered zirconium phosphate Zr (HPO 4 ) 2 ·0.35D2O has been prepared and characterized by the 1 H, 31 P, and 2 H solid-state MAS NMR spectra, including 31 P and 2 H T 1 measurements. At temperatures >253 K, the intercalated water shows two spectrally-distinguished deuterons unprecedentedly with different DQCC's and 2 H T 1 times, one of which is hydrogen bonded. The collected data allowed to identify an unexpected bonding/dynamic mode of water molecules, which experience fast rotation around the hydrogen bond, formed with a zirconium-coordinated oxygen. The low-temperature 2 H MAS NMR experiments have demonstrated the presence of additional hydrogen bond P—(H)O˙˙˙ DO, population of which grows on cooling to 195 K corresponding to the doubly hydrogen-bonded immobile water molecule.
