Postsynthetic Installation of Lanthanide Cubane Clusters in a 3D Hydrogen-Bonded Framework of IrIII4ZnII4 Multicarboxylates

Immersing single crystals of (Δ)4-K6[Ir4Zn4O(l-cysteinate)12]·nH2O (K6[1Ir]·nH2O) bearing 12 free carboxylate groups, which was newly prepared from Δ-H3[Ir(l-cysteinate)3], ZnBr2, ZnO, and KOH, in an aqueous solution of lanthanide(III) acetate produced Ln2[1Ir]·nH2O (2Ln; Ln = LaIII, CeIII, PrIII, and NdIII) and Ln0.33[Ln4(OH)4(OAc)3(H2O)7][1Ir]·nH2O (3Ln; Ln = SmIII, EuIII, GdIII, TbIII, DyIII, ErIII, HoIII, TmIII, YbIII, and LuIII) in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation manner. X-ray crystallography showed that the KI ions in K6[1Ir]·nH2O are completely exchanged by the LnIII ions in 2Ln and 3Ln, retaining the 3D hydrogen-bonded framework that consists of the IrIII4ZnII4 complex anions of [1Ir]6-. While 2Ln contained the LnIII ions as isolated aqua species, the LnIII ions in 3Ln existed as cationic cubane clusters of [Ln4(OH)4(OAc)3(H2O)7]5+; these were linked by [1Ir]6- anions through carboxylate groups in a 3D polymeric structure. 3Ln showed magnetic and photoluminescence properties that are characteristically observed for discrete LnIII species in the solid state.

Pore-Confined π-Chromophoric Tetracene as a Visible Light Harvester toward MOF-Based Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction in Water

Integrating photoactive π-chromophoric guest molecules inside the MOF nanopore can result in the emergence of light-responsive features, which in turn can be utilized for developing photoactive materials with inherent properties of MOF. Herein, we report the confining of π-chromophoric tetracene (TET) molecules inside the nanospace of postmodified Zr-MOF-808 (Zr-MOF) with MBA molecules (MBA = 2-(5'-methyl-[2,2'-bipyridine]-5-yl)acetic acid) for effectively utilizing its light-harvesting properties toward photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The confinement of the TET molecules as a photosensitizer and the covalent grafting of a catalytically active [Re(MBA)(CO)3Cl] complex, postsynthetically, result in a single integrated catalytic system named Zr-MBA-TET-Re-MOF. Photoreduction of CO2 over Zr-MBA-TET-Re-MOF showed the evolution of 805 μmol g-1 CO with 99.9% selectivity after 10 h of continuous visible light irradiation in water without any additional sacrificial electron donor and having the apparent quantum efficiency of 1.3%. In addition, the catalyst demonstrated an appreciable activity even under direct sunlight irradiation in aqueous medium with a maximum production of 362.7 μmol g-1 CO, thereby mimicking artificial photosynthesis. Moreover, electron transfer from TET to the catalytic center was supported by the formation of photoinduced TET radical cation, as inferred from in situ UV-vis spectra, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis, and transient absorption (TA) studies. Additionally, the in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) measurements support that the photoreduction of CO2 to CO proceeds via *COOH intermediate formation. The close proximity of the light-harvesting molecule and catalytic center facilitated facile electron transfer from the photosensitizer to the catalyst during the CO2 reduction.

Molecular Catalysis of Energy Relevance in Metal-Organic Frameworks: From Higher Coordination Sphere to System Effects

The modularity and synthetic flexibility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have provoked analogies with enzymes, and even the term MOFzymes has been coined. In this review, we focus on molecular catalysis of energy relevance in MOFs, more specifically water oxidation, oxygen and carbon dioxide reduction, as well as hydrogen evolution in context of the MOF-enzyme analogy. Similar to enzymes, catalyst encapsulation in MOFs leads to structural stabilization under turnover conditions, while catalyst motifs that are synthetically out of reach in a homogeneous solution phase may be attainable as secondary building units in MOFs. Exploring the unique synthetic possibilities in MOFs, specific groups in the second and third coordination sphere around the catalytic active site have been incorporated to facilitate catalysis. A key difference between enzymes and MOFs is the fact that active site concentrations in the latter are often considerably higher, leading to charge and mass transport limitations in MOFs that are more severe than those in enzymes. High catalyst concentrations also put a limit on the distance between catalysts, and thus the available space for higher coordination sphere engineering. As transport is important for MOF-borne catalysis, a system perspective is chosen to highlight concepts that address the issue. A detailed section on transport and light-driven reactivity sets the stage for a concise review of the currently available literature on utilizing principles from Nature and system design for the preparation of catalytic MOF-based materials.

Development of new medicinal products for particular therapeutic treatment or for better manipulations with better quality and less side effects are possible as a result of advanced inorganic and organic materials application, among which zeolites, due to their properties and versatility, have been gaining attention. This paper is an overview of the development in the use of zeolite materials and their composites and modifications as medicinal products for several purposes such as active agents, carriers, for topical treatments, oral formulations, anticancer, the composition of theragnostic systems, vaccines, parenteral dosage forms, tissue engineering, etc. The objective of this review is to explore the main properties of zeolites and associate them with their drug interaction, mainly addressing the advances and studies related to the use of zeolites for different types of treatments due to their zeolite characteristics such as molecule storage capacity, physical and chemical stability, cation exchange capacity, and possibility of functionalization. The use of computational tools to predict the drug-zeolite interaction is also explored. As conclusion was possible to realize the possibilities and versatility of zeolite applications as being able to act in several aspects of medicinal products.

Cu-α-diimine Compounds Encapsulated in Porous Materials as Catalysts for Electrophilic Amination of Aromatic C-H Bonds

Electrophilic amination has emerged as a more environmentally benign approach to construct arene C-N bonds. However, heterogeneous catalysts remain largely unexplored in this area, even though their use could facilitate product purification and catalyst recovery. Here we investigate strategies to heterogenize a Cu(2,2'-bipyridine) catalyst for the amination of arenes lacking a directing group with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid (HOSA). Besides immobilization of Cu on a metal-organic framework (MOF) or covalent organic framework (COF) with embedded 2,2'-bipyridines, a ship-in-a-bottle approach was followed in which the Cu complex is encapsulated in the pores of a zeolite. Recyclability and hot centrifugation tests show that zeolite Beta-entrapped Cu^II(2,2'-bipyridine) is superior in terms of stability. With N-methylmorpholine as a weakly coordinating, weak base, simple arenes, such as mesitylene, could be aminated with yields up to 59%, corresponding to a catalyst TON of 24. The zeolite could be used in three consecutive runs without a decrease in activity. Characterization of the catalyst by EPR and XAS showed that the active catalytic complex consisted of a site-isolated Cu^II species with one 2,2'-bipyridine ligand.

Recent advances in solid-state NMR of zeolite catalysts

Zeolites are important inorganic crystalline microporous materials with a broad range of applications in the areas of catalysis, ion exchange, and adsorption/separations. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has proven to be a powerful tool in the study of zeolites and relevant catalytic reactions because of its advantage in providing atomic-level insights into molecular structure and dynamic behavior. In this review, we provide a brief discussion on the recent progress in exploring framework structures, catalytically active sites and intermolecular interactions in zeolites and metal-containing ones by using various solid-state NMR methods. Advances in the mechanistic understanding of zeolite-catalysed reactions including methanol and ethanol conversions are presented as selected examples. Finally, we discuss the prospect of the solid-state NMR technique for its application in zeolites.

Tailoring Heterogeneous Catalysts at the Atomic Level: In Memoriam, Prof. Chia-Kuang (Frank) Tsung

Professor Chia-Kuang (Frank) Tsung made his scientific impact primarily through the atomic-level design of nanoscale materials for application in heterogeneous catalysis. He approached this challenge from two directions: above and below the material surface. Below the surface, Prof. Tsung synthesized finely controlled nanoparticles, primarily of noble metals and metal oxides, tailoring their composition and surface structure for efficient catalysis. Above the surface, he was among the first to leverage the tunability and stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve heterogeneous, molecular, and biocatalysts. This article, written by his former students, seeks first to commemorate Prof. Tsung's scientific accomplishments in three parts: (1) rationally designing nanocrystal surfaces to promote catalytic activity; (2) encapsulating nanocrystals in MOFs to improve catalyst selectivity; and (3) tuning the host-guest interaction between MOFs and guest molecules to inhibit catalyst degradation. The subsequent discussion focuses on building on the foundation laid by Prof. Tsung and on his considerable influence on his former group members and collaborators, both inside and outside of the lab.

The electrochemical reduction of a flexible Mn(II) salen-based metal-organic framework

A new metal-organic framework (MOF) containing a Mn(II) salen complex (BET surface area = 967 ± 6 m² g^-1) undergoes a reversible crystalline-to-amorphous transformation. Experimental studies and computational calculations show that the MOF is stable to a one-electron reduction at more anodic potentials than the corresponding discrete complex.

The embedding of fluorescent N-methyl-9-acridone into a topological new layered aluminophosphate SYSU-2 by one-pot synthesis

A layered aluminophosphate |C14H11NO|2[Al4(HPO4)4F4(H2O)2] (denoted as SYSU-2) with a new topology has been hydrothermally synthesized with N-methyl-9-acridone (NMA) as the organic structure-directing agent. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that SYSU-2 crystallizes in a triclinic space group P1[combining macron], with the inorganic sheets stacked in an AA sequence. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for the neutral inorganic-organic layer connection. The layer structure of SYSU-2 is constructed by alternating AlO4F2 octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra. The topological analysis of SYSU-2 indicates an independent topology. The NMA layers are self-assembled with π-π interaction. SYSU-2 crystals show interesting dual-band emission fluorescence properties compared with NMA crystals. Under 406 nm UV irradiation, SYSU-2 crystals emit yellow light with two emission bands at 477 and 566 nm, while NMA crystals emit blue light with only one band at 473 nm. The differences may be derived from the difference of stacking orders and distance of NMA molecule layers between the two crystals.

Study of Faujasite zeolite as a modified delivery carrier for isoniazid

The adsorption of isoniazid in the Faujasite zeolite channels has been studied. For that, the influence of the pH from the solution media in the adsorption process was verified to enable higher amount of isoniazid retained. With the information of the best pH and the equilibrium time obtained with the kinetic study, an isotherm was constructed and the hybrid material obtained with the plateau concentration equilibrium was characterized with several techniques. Molecular modeling calculations were also performed for a better understanding of the adsorption process and how the interaction between zeolite and isoniazid occurs. The geometrical disposition of the drug molecules into the zeolite channels, the saturation levels, the different isoniazid protonation states with respect to the pH media and the interaction energy between the zeolite surface and the isoniazid molecule was studied. Finally, a drug release study was made to verify if the Faujasite-Y zeolite could change the isoniazid release in acid and phosphate buffer media. The results show that the Faujasite-Y has the possibility to work as carrier for isoniazid, where the adsorption process is more effective in media at pH 3, result confirmed by the molecular modeling. The isoniazid release essay showed that the hybrid material does not change the drug release profile, provides more stability in acid media, indicating that the zeolite can be used as carrier for isoniazid, and improve the medicine formulations on antituberculosis treatment.

Recent Advances of Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy for Microporous Materials

Microporous materials have attracted a rapid growth of research interest in materials science and the multidisciplinary area because of their wide applications in catalysis, separation, ion exchange, gas storage, drug release, and sensing. A fundamental understanding of their diverse structures and properties is crucial for rational design of high-performance materials and technological applications in industry. Solid-state NMR (SSNMR), capable of providing atomic-level information on both structure and dynamics, is a powerful tool in the scientific exploration of solid materials. Here, advanced SSNMR instruments and methods for characterization of microporous materials are briefly described. The recent progress of the application of SSNMR for the investigation of microporous materials including zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, porous aromatic frameworks, and layered materials is discussed with representative work. The versatile SSNMR techniques provide detailed information on the local structure, dynamics, and chemical processes in the confined space of porous materials. The challenges and prospects in SSNMR study of microporous and related materials are discussed.

Metal Active Sites and Their Catalytic Functions in Zeolites: Insights from Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy

Zeolites are important heterogeneous catalysts widely used in the modern chemical and petrochemical industries. Metal-containing zeolites show distinct performance in the catalytic processes such as fluid catalytic cracking, activation and conversion of light alkanes, methanol-to-aromatics conversion, biomass transformation, and so on. The metal speciation, distribution, and interactions on zeolites have enormous impact on their property and catalytic performance. Significant efforts have been devoted to the synthesis of more active and selective zeolites by engineering the metal active sites. However, the nature of metal species and their role in the reactions are still poorly understood, which makes it difficult to establish the structure-activity relationship toward the rational design and application of zeolites. For example, synergic active sites are often present on the metal-containing zeolites, but their structure, property and quantification still remain to be resolved. Solid-state NMR is a powerful tool for the characterization of heterogeneous catalysts and catalytic reactions by providing information about both molecular structure and dynamics. The heterogeneity and low concentration of the metal sites on zeolites usually leads to a great challenge for their characterization. In this Account, we will describe our effort to study the metal active sites, host-guest interactions, and reaction intermediates by using solid-state NMR spectroscopy, with the aim to highlight recent advances in solid-state NMR techniques for probing the structure and property of metal-containing zeolites as well as the relevant reaction mechanisms. Using sensitivity-enhanced NMR methods such as ⁶⁷Zn, ⁷¹Ga, and ¹¹⁹Sn, NMR enables the identification of metal speciation on zeolites. The synergic active sites constituted by metal species (as Lewis acid sites) and acidic protons (as Brønsted acid sites) on zeolites that amount to only a small fraction of the whole system can be directly probed and quantified with advanced ¹H-⁶⁷Zn or ¹H-⁷¹Ga double-resonance solid-state NMR. We developed NMR methods to study the host-guest interactions in zeolites by observing the spatial interaction/proximity between aluminum sites (associated with Brønsted or Lewis acid sites) in zeolite host and carbon atoms in organic molecule guest formed during catalytic reaction, which leads to the formation of supramolecular reaction centers in the methanol-to-olefins reaction. The mechanisms underlying the catalytic reactions on metal-modified zeolite are revealed by the identification of key reaction intermediates with in situ ¹³C MAS NMR spectroscopy. Our discussion based on the representative examples shows how the metal species serving as active sites significantly affect the property and activity of zeolites and related reaction pathways. The structural information obtained by the state-of-the-art solid-state NMR techniques provides new insights into the structure-activity relationship of zeolites in heterogeneous catalysis, which should be beneficial for rational design of highly efficient zeolite catalysts.

Molecular QCA embedding in microporous materials

We propose an environment for information encoding and transmission via a nanoconfined molecular Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) wire, composed of a single row of head-to-tail interacting 2-dots molecular switches. While most of the research in the field refers to dots-bearing molecules bound on some type of surface, forming a bidimensional array of square cells capable of performing QCA typical functions, we propose here to embed the information bearing elements within the channels of a microporous matrix. In this way molecules would self-assemble in a row as a consequence of adsorption inside the pores of the material, forming an encased wire, with the crystalline environment giving stability and protection to the structure. DFT calculations on a diferrocenyl carborane, previously proposed and synthesized [J. A. Christie, R. P. Forrest, S. A. Corcelli, N. A. Wasio, R. C. Quardokus, R. Brown, S. A. Kandel, Y. Lu, C. S. Lent and K. W. Henderson, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 2015, 54, 15448], were performed both in vacuum and inside the channels of zeolite ITQ-51, indicating that information encoding and transmission is possible within the nanoconfined environment.

Rational approach to guest confinement inside MOF cavities for low-temperature catalysis

Geometric or electronic confinement of guests inside nanoporous hosts promises to deliver unusual catalytic or opto-electronic functionality from existing materials but is challenging to obtain particularly using metastable hosts, such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Reagents (e.g. precursor) may be too large for impregnation and synthesis conditions may also destroy the hosts. Here we use thermodynamic Pourbaix diagrams (favorable redox and pH conditions) to describe a general method for metal-compound guest synthesis by rationally selecting reaction agents and conditions. Specifically we demonstrate a MOF-confined RuO₂ catalyst (RuO₂@MOF-808-P) with exceptionally high catalytic CO oxidation below 150 °C as compared to the conventionally made SiO₂-supported RuO₂ (RuO₂/SiO₂). This can be caused by weaker interactions between CO/O and the MOF-encapsulated RuO₂ surface thus avoiding adsorption-induced catalytic surface passivation. We further describe applications of the Pourbaix-enabled guest synthesis (PEGS) strategy with tutorial examples for the general synthesis of arbitrary guests (e.g. metals, oxides, hydroxides, sulfides).

Loading guests inside the pre-existing pores of nanoporous hosts remains challenging. Here, the authors introduce a rational route for incorporation of guest compounds into an arbitrary nanoporous host, enabling the investigation of multiple host-guest systems with surprising functionalities.

Water in zeolite L and its MOF mimic

Confinement of molecules in one dimensional arrays of channel-shaped cavities has led to technologically interesting materials. However, the interactions governing the supramolecular aggregates still remain obscure, even for the most common guest molecule: water. Herein, we use computational chemistry methods (#compchem) to study the water organization inside two different channel-type environments: zeolite L – a widely used matrix for inclusion of dye molecules, and ZLMOF – the closest metal-organic-framework mimic of zeolite L. In ZLMOF, the methyl groups of the ligands protrude inside the channels, creating nearly isolated nanocavities. These cavities host well-separated ring-shaped clusters of water molecules, dominated mainly by water-water hydrogen bonds. ZLMOF provides arrays of “isolated supramolecule” environments, which might be exploited for the individual confinement of small species with interesting optical or catalytic properties. In contrast, the one dimensional channels of zeolite L contain a continuous supramolecular structure, governed by the water interactions with potassium cations and by water-water hydrogen bonds. Water imparts a significant energetic stabilization to both materials, which increases with the water content in ZLMOF and follows the opposite trend in zeolite L. The water network in zeolite L contains an intriguing hypercoordinated structure, where a water molecule is surrounded by five strong hydrogen bonds. Such a structure, here described for the first time in zeolites, can be considered as a water pre-dissociation complex and might explain the experimentally detected high proton activity in zeolite L nanochannels.

New trends in tailoring active sites in zeolite-based catalysts

This review discusses approaches for tailoring active sites in extra-large pore, nanocrystalline, and hierarchical zeolites and their performance in emerging catalytic applications.

Supramolecular Organization in Confined Nanospaces

Empty spaces are abhorred by nature, which immediately rushes in to fill the void. Humans have learnt pretty well how to make ordered empty nanocontainers, and to get useful products out of them. When such an order is imparted to molecules, new properties may appear, often yielding advanced applications. This review illustrates how the organized void space inherently present in various materials: zeolites, clathrates, mesoporous silica/organosilica, and metal organic frameworks (MOF), for example, can be exploited to create confined, organized, and self-assembled supramolecular structures of low dimensionality. Features of the confining matrices relevant to organization are presented with special focus on molecular-level aspects. Selected examples of confined supramolecular assemblies - from small molecules to quantum dots or luminescent species - are aimed to show the complexity and potential of this approach. Natural confinement (minerals) and hyperconfinement (high pressure) provide further opportunities to understand and master the atomistic-level interactions governing supramolecular organization under nanospace restrictions.

Synthesis of Engineered Zeolitic Materials: From Classical Zeolites to Hierarchical Core-Shell Materials

The term "engineered zeolitic materials" refers to a class of materials with a rationally designed pore system and active-sites distribution. They are primarily made of crystalline microporous zeolites as the main building blocks, which can be accompanied by other secondary components to form composite materials. These materials are of potential importance in many industrial fields like catalysis or selective adsorption. Herein, critical aspects related to the synthesis and modification of such materials are discussed. The first section provides a short introduction on classical zeolite structures and properties, and their conventional synthesis methods. Then, the motivating rationale behind the growing demand for structural alteration of these zeolitic materials is discussed, with an emphasis on the ongoing struggles regarding mass-transfer issues. The state-of-the-art techniques that are currently available for overcoming these hurdles are reviewed. Following this, the focus is set on core-shell composites as one of the promising pathways toward the creation of a new generation of highly versatile and efficient engineered zeolitic substances. The synthesis approaches developed thus far to make zeolitic core-shell materials and their analogues, yolk-shell, and hollow materials, are also examined and summarized. Finally, the last section concisely reviews the performance of novel core-shell, yolk-shell, and hollow zeolitic materials for some important industrial applications.

Influence of Different Zeolite Frameworks on the Geometry of Platinum(II)tetraammine Complex

The structural changes in the guest platinum(II)tetraammine complex due to the steric and electronic interactions with the host zeolite frameworks LTL, MWW, and Y have been investigated using density functional theory calculations. It is observed that the square planar geometry of platinum(II)tetraammine complex has been distorted to nonplanar geometry when encapsulated in supercages of zeolite framework. The distortion is found to be higher in LTL than that in Y and MWW frameworks, without affecting the nature of the zeolite framework. Geometrical parameters, highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies, global hardness, and softness were calculated to understand the distortion in the pores of the zeolite matrix. The most plausible active site of the complex was identified using the Fukui functions.

Photodegradation of organic pollutants in water by immobilized porphyrins and phthalocyanines

New methods for water treatment are required as a result from an increasing awareness in the reduction of the pollution impact in the environment. In the perspective of the photo-oxidation of organic pollutants present in water, the principal incentive for the preparation of heterogeneous photocatalysts is their easy recovery from the reaction mixture, which allows their reuse in successive runs, minimizing the loss of their original photocatalytic properties. Different types of supports can be used in the immobilization of photoactive species, such as porphyrins (Pors) and phthalocyanines (Pcs). This mini-review will consider the different methodologies for the immobilization of Pors and Pcs and their photocatalytic performance in the photodegradation of organic pollutants in water, addressing also their recycling ability in successive water treatments.

Organic-inorganic supramolecular solid catalyst boosts organic reactions in water

Coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks are appealing as synthetic hosts for mediating chemical reactions. Here we report the preparation of a mesoscopic metal-organic structure based on single-layer assembly of aluminium chains and organic alkylaryl spacers. The material markedly accelerates condensation reactions in water in the absence of acid or base catalyst, as well as organocatalytic Michael-type reactions that also show superior enantioselectivity when comparing with the host-free transformation. The mesoscopic phase of the solid allows for easy diffusion of products and the catalytic solid is recycled and reused. Saturation transfer difference and two-dimensional ¹H nuclear Overhauser effect NOESY NMR spectroscopy show that non-covalent interactions are operative in these host–guest systems that account for substrate activation. The mesoscopic character of the host, its hydrophobicity and chemical stability in water, launch this material as a highly attractive supramolecular catalyst to facilitate (asymmetric) transformations under more environmentally friendly conditions.

Coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks are appealing synthetic hosts for mediating reactions. Here, the authors report a mesoscopic metal-organic structure that is shown to accelerate condensation reactions in water in the absence of acid or base, owing to the hydrophobic environment of the host.
