Concurrent Enhancement of Acetylene Uptake Capacity and Selectivity by Progressive Core Expansion and Extra–Framework Anions in Pore–Space–Partitioned Metal–Organic Frameworks

A multi-stage core-expansion method is proposed here as one component of the integrative binding-site/extender/core-expansion (BEC) strategy. The conceptual deconstruction of the partitioning ligand into three editable parts draws our focus onto progressive core expansion and allows the optimization of both acetylene uptake and selectivity. Herein the effectiveness of this strategy is shown through a family of eight cationic pore-partitioned materials containing three different partitioning ligands and various counter anions. The optimized structure, Co 3 -cpt-tph-Cl (Hcpt=4-(p-carboxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole, H-tph=(2,5,8-tri-(4-pyridyl)-1,3,4,6,7,9-hexaazaphenalene) with the largest surface area and highest C 2 H 2 uptake capacity (200 cm 3 /g at 298 K), also exhibits (desirably) the lowest CO 2 uptake and hence the highest C 2 H 2 /CO 2 selectivity. The successful boost in both C 2 H 2 capacity and IAST selectivity allows Co 3 -cpt-tph-Cl to rank among the best crystalline porous materials, ionic MOFs in particular, for C 2 H 2 uptake and C 2 H 2 /CO 2 experimental breakthrough separation.

Metal-Mediated Directional Capping of Rod-Packing Metal–Organic Frameworks

We report two new rod-packing metal–organic frameworks (RPMOF) are constructed by regulating the in situ formation of the capping agent. In CPM-s7, carboxylate linkers extend 1D manganese-oxide chains in four additional directions, forming 3D RPMOF. The substitution of Mn 2+ with a stronger Lewis acidic Co 2+ , leads to an acceleration of the hydrolysis-prone sulfonate linker, resulting in presence of sulfate ions to reduce two out of the four carboxylate-extending directions, and thus forming a new 2D rod-packing CPM-s8. Density functional theory calculations and magnetization measurements reveal ferrimagnetic ordering of CPM-s8, signifying the potential of exploring 2D RPMOF for effective low-dimensional magnetic materials.

Simultaneous Control of Pore‐Space Partition and Charge Distribution in Multi‐Modular Metal–Organic Frameworks

Abstract We report here a strategy for making anionic pacs type porous materials by combining pore space partition with charge reallocation. The method uses the first negatively charged pore partition ligand (2,5,8‐tri‐(4‐pyridyl)‐1,3,4,6,7,9‐hexaazaphenalene, H‐tph) that simultaneously enables pore partition and charge reallocation. Over two dozen anionic pacs materials have been made to demonstrate their excellent chemical stability and a high degree of tunability. Notably, Ni 3 ‐bdt‐tph (bdt=1,4‐benzeneditetrazolate) exhibits month‐long water stability, while CoV‐bdt‐tph sets a new benchmark for C 2 H 2 storage capacity under ambient conditions for ionic MOFs. In addition to tunable in‐framework modules, we show feasibility to tune the type and concentration of extra‐framework counter cations and their influence on both stability and capability to separate industrial C 3 H 8 /C 3 H 6 and C 6 H 6 /C 6 H 12 mixtures.

Pore-Space Partition and Optimization for Propane-Selective High-Performance Propane/Propylene Separation

The development of effective propane (C 3 H 8 )-selective adsorbents for the purification of propylene (C 3 H 6 ) from C 3 H 8 /C 3 H 6 mixture is a promising alternative to replace the energy-intensive cryogenic distillation. However, few materials possess the dual desirable features of propane selectivity and high uptake capacity. Here, we report a family of pore-space-partitioned crystalline porous materials (CPM) with remarkable C 3 H 8 uptake capacity (up to 10.9 mmol/g) and the highly desirable, yet uncommon C 3 H 8 selectivity (up to 1.54 at 0.1 bar and 1.44 at 1bar). The selectivity-capacity synergy endows them with record-performing C 3 H 8 /C 3 H 6 separation potential (i.e., C 3 H 6 recovered from the mixture). Moreover, these CPMs exhibit outstanding properties including high stability, low regeneration energy, and multi-modular chemical and geometrical tunability within the same isoreticular framework. Furthermore, the high C 3 H 8 /C 3 H 6 separation performance was further confirmed by the breakthrough experiments.
