Poly[bis(μ-purin-9-ido-κ2 N 7:N 9)zinc]
In the title compound, [Zn(C5H3N4)2], the ZnII cation is in a nearly regular tetrahedral coordination by purinate ligands. Each purinate ligand chelates two ZnII cations through two imidazole N atoms of the purinate anion ligand, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network
2,4,6-Triamino-1,3,5-triazine-1,3-diium aquapentafluoridoaluminate
The title compound, (C3H8N6)[AlF5(H2O)], was obtained by solvothermal synthesis from the reaction of aluminium hydroxide, 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (melamine), aqueous HF and water at 323 K for 48 h. The structure consists of [AlF5(H2O)]2− octahedra and diprotonated melaminium cations. Cohesion is ensured by a three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds
Luminescent thermometer based on Eu3+/Tb3+-organic-functionalized mesoporous silica
In this work we investigate a mesoporous silica (MS) decorated with dipyridyl-pyridazine (dppz) ligands and further grafted with a mixture of Eu3+/Tb3+ ions (28.45%:71.55%), which was investigated as a potential thermometer in the 10-360K temperature range. The MS material was prepared employing a hetero Diels-Alder reaction: 3,6-di(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine was reacted with the double bonds of vinyl-silica (vSilica) followed by an oxidation procedure. We explore using the dppz-vSilica material to obtain visible emitting luminescent materials and for obtaining a luminescent thermometer when grafted with Eu3+/Tb3+ ions. For the dppz-vSilica@Eu,Tb material absolute sensitivityS(a) of 0.011K(-1) (210K) and relative sensitivityS(r) of 1.32 %K-1 (260K) were calculated showing good sensing capability of the material. Upon temperature change from 10K to 360K the emission color of the material changed gradually from yellow to red
Differential guest location by host dynamics enhances propylene/propane separation in a metal-organic framework
Energy-efficient approaches to propylene/propane separation such as molecular sieving are of considerable importance for the petrochemical industry. The metal organic framework NbOFFIVE-1-Ni adsorbs propylene but not propane at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, whereas the isostructural SIFSIX-3-Ni does not exclude propane under the same conditions. The static dimensions of the pore openings of both materials are too small to admit either guest, signalling the importance of host dynamics for guest entrance to and transport through the channels. We use ab initio calculations together with crystallographic and adsorption data to show that the dynamics of the two framework-forming units, polyatomic anions and pyrazines, govern both diffusion and separation. The guest diffusion occurs by opening of the flexible window formed by four pyrazines. In NbOFFIVE-1-Ni, (NbOF5)2- anion reorientation locates propane away from the window, which enhances propylene/propane separation
The Influence of Chemical Modification on Linker Rotational Dynamics in Metal–Organic Frameworks
The robust synthetic flexibility of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) offers a promising class of tailorable materials, for which the ability to tune specific physicochemical properties is highly desired. This is achievable only through a thorough description of the consequences for chemical manipulations both in structure and dynamics. Magic angle spinning solid‐state NMR spectroscopy offers many modalities in this pursuit, particularly for dynamic studies. Herein, we employ a separated‐local‐field NMR approach to show how specific intraframework chemical modifications to MOF UiO‐66 heavily modulate the dynamic evolution of the organic ring moiety over several orders of magnitude.Ringrotationen in MOFs wurden in Festkörper‐NMR‐Experimenten unter Probenrotation um den magischen Winkel durch dipolare Dephasierung über die Rotorperiode detektiert. Informationen zur Dynamik in Metall‐organischen Gerüsten sind wichtig, weil die Geschwindigkeit der Rotationsbewegung des Linkers die Sorptions‐ und Trenneigenschaften von MOFs beeinflusst.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/144665/1/ange201805004_am.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/144665/2/ange201805004-sup-0001-misc_information.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/144665/3/ange201805004.pd

Here, we report the excellent separation of equimolar mixtures of propylene/propane and ethylene/ethane, and of a 1/100 mixture of acetylene/ethylene by a highly robust microporous material, MFM‐520, under dynamic conditions. In situ synchrotron single crystal X‐ray diffraction, inelastic neutron scattering and analysis of adsorption thermodynamic parameters reveal that a series of synergistic host–guest interactions involving hydrogen bonding and π⋅⋅⋅π stacking interactions underpin the cooperative binding of alkenes within the pore. Notably, the optimal pore geometry of the material enables selective accommodation of acetylene. The practical potential of this porous material has been demonstrated by fabricating mixed‐matrix membranes comprising MFM‐520, Matrimid and PIM‐1, and these exhibit not only a high permeability for propylene (≈1984 Barrer), but also a separation factor of 7.8 for an equimolar mixture of propylene/propane at 298 K
Facile modifications of HKUST-1 by V, Nb and Mn for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by NH 3
International audienceHKUST-1 catalysts were impregnated with vanadium, niobium and manganese species and tested in NH 3-SCR for NO removal. No reduction of NO by NH 3 was registered for the unmodified HKUST-1 and disappearance of NO was attributed to adsorption. After a pretreatment at 185°C, the best catalytic performance was found for HKUST-1-Mn with 100% and 80% conversion of NH 3 and NO, respectively at 185°C. For the first time, the H 2 O tolerance was examined on the modified HKUST-1 catalyst. The addition of water vapor resulted in decrease of NO and NH 3 conversions, which was immediately recovered when H 2 O feeding was stopped. The NO conversion dropped from 76% to 68% after 35 min of H 2 O addition
