Single crystal structure and photocatalytic behavior of grafted uranyl on the Zr-node of a pyrene-based metal–organic framework
Accurately characterizing actinide oxides bound to metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is important for designing MOFs as radioactive waste sorbents and catalytic supports. Here, the zirconium MOF NU-1000 was post-synthetically modified through solvothermal deposition to include the uranyl (UO 2 2+ ) ion and characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Additonally, bond lengths derived from the diffraction pattern and Raman spectroscopy indicate that UO 2 2+ maintains its chemical properties upon deposition, while alcohol oxidation photocatalysis reveals photo-interactions between the pyrene linkers and the UO 2 2+ ion.
