Alkylaminopyridine-Modified Aluminum Aminoterephthalate Metal-Organic Frameworks As Components of Reactive Self-Detoxifying Materials
Aluminum aminoterephthalate MOF particulate materials
(NH<sub>2</sub>-MIL-101Â(Al) and NH<sub>2</sub>-MIL-53Â(Al)), studied
here as components of self-detoxifying surfaces, retained their reactivity
following their covalent attachment to protective surfaces utilizing
a newly developed strategy in which the MOF particles were deposited
on a reactive adhesive composed of polyisobutylene/toluene diisocyanate
(PIB/TDI) blends. Following MOF attachment and curing, the MOF primary
amino groups were functionalized with highly nucleophilic 4-methylaminopyridine
(4-MAP) by disuccinimidyl suberate-activated conjugation. The resulting
MOF-4-MAP modified PIB/TDI elastomeric films were mechanically flexible
and capable of degrading diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP), a chemical
threat simulant
