Nanoscale solvent organization in metal-organic framework ZIF-8 probed by EPR of flexible β-phosphorylated nitroxides. Chem Sci 2024; 15:5268-5276.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) draw increasing attention as nanoenvironments for chemical reactions, especially in the field of catalysis. Knowing the specifics of MOF cavities is decisive in many of these cases; yet, obtaining them in situ remains very challenging. We report the first direct assessment of the apparent polarity and solvent organization inside MOF cavities using a dedicated structurally flexible spin probe. A stable β-phosphorylated nitroxide radical was incorporated into the cavities of a prospective MOF ZIF-8 in trace amounts. The spectroscopic properties of this probe depend on local polarity, structuredness, stiffness and cohesive pressure and can be precisely monitored by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Using this approach, we have demonstrated experimentally that the cavities of bare ZIF-8 are sensed by guest molecules as highly non-polar inside. When various alcohols fill the cavities, remarkable self-organization of solvent molecules is observed leading to a higher apparent polarity in MOFs compared to the corresponding bulk alcohols. Accounting for such nanoorganization phenomena can be crucial for optimization of chemical reactions in MOFs, and the proposed methodology provides unique routes to study MOF cavities inside in situ, thus aiding in their various applications.

Highly Selective p-Xylene Separation from Mixtures of C8 Aromatics by a Nonporous Molecular Apohost. J Am Chem Soc 2023; 145:27316-27324. [PMID: 38055597 PMCID: PMC10739993 DOI: 10.1021/jacs.3c07198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
High and increasing production of separation of C8 aromatic isomers demands the development of purification methods that are efficient, scalable, and inexpensive, especially for p-xylene, PX, the largest volume C8 commodity. Herein, we report that 4-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-phenyl-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione (TPBD), a molecular compound that can be prepared and scaled up via solid-state synthesis, exhibits exceptional PX selectivity over each of the other C8 isomers, o-xylene (OX), m-xylene (MX), and ethylbenzene (EB). The apohost or α form of TPBD was found to exhibit conformational polymorphism in the solid state enabled by rotation of its triazole and benzene rings. TPBD-αI and TPBD-αII are nonporous polymorphs that transformed to the same PX inclusion compound, TPBD-PX, upon contact with liquid PX. TPBD enabled highly selective capture of PX, as established by competitive slurry experiments involving various molar ratios in binary, ternary, and quaternary mixtures of C8 aromatics. Binary selectivity values for PX as determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy and gas chromatography ranged from 22.4 to 108.4, setting new benchmarks for both PX/MX (70.3) and PX/EB (59.9) selectivity as well as close to benchmark selectivity for PX/OX (108.4). To our knowledge, TPBD is the first material of any class to exhibit such high across-the-board PX selectivity from quaternary mixtures of C8 aromatics under ambient conditions. Crystallographic and computational studies provide structural insight into the PX binding site in TPBD-PX, whereas thermal stability and capture kinetics were determined by variable-temperature powder X-ray diffraction and slurry tests, respectively. That TPBD offers benchmark PX selectivity and facile recyclability makes it a prototypal molecular compound for PX purification or capture under ambient conditions.

Abstract
The tuning of micropore environments in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) by mixed-linker synthesis has the potential for enabling new molecular separation properties. However, de novo synthesis of mixed-linker (hybrid) ZIFs is often challenging due to the disparate chemical properties of the different linkers. Here, we elucidate the structure and properties of an unconventional ZIF-8-7 hybrid material synthesized via a controlled-acid-gas-assisted degradation and reconstruction (solvent-assisted crystal redemption, SACRed) strategy. Selective insertion of benzimidazole (ZIF-7 linker) into ZIF-8 using SACRed is used as a facile method to generate a ZIF-8-7 hybrid material that is otherwise difficult to synthesize by de novo methods. Detailed crystal structure and textural characterizations clarify the significant differences in the microstructure of the SACRed-derived ZIF-8-7 hybrid material relative to a de novo synthesized hybrid of the same overall linker composition as well as the parent ZIF-8 material. Unary and binary adsorption measurements reveal the tunability of adsorption characteristics as well as the prevalence of nonideal cooperative mixture adsorption effects that lead to large deviations from predictions made with ideal adsorbed solution theory.

Abstract
The purification of p-xylene (pX) from its xylene isomers represents a challenging but important industrial process. Herein, we report the efficient separation of pX from its ortho- and meta- isomers by a microporous calcium-based metal-organic framework material (HIAM-203) with a flexible skeleton. At 30 °C, all three isomers are accommodated but the adsorption kinetics of o-xylene (oX) and m-xylene (mX) are substantially slower than that of pX, and at an elevated temperature of 120 °C, oX and mX are fully excluded while pX can be adsorbed. Multicomponent column breakthrough measurements and vapor-phase/liquid-phase adsorption experiments have demonstrated the capability of HIAM-203 for efficient separation of xylene isomers. Ab initio calculations have provided useful information for understanding the adsorption mechanism.

Abstract
Nanoreactors, as a new class of materials with highly enriched and ordered pore channel structures, can achieve special catalytic effects by precisely identifying and controlling the molecular diffusion behavior within the ordered pore channel system. Nanoreactors-driven molecular diffusion within the ordered pore channels can be highly dependent on the local microenvironment in the nanoreactors' pore channel system. Although the diffusion process of molecules within the ordered pore channels of nanoreactors is crucial for the regulation of catalytic behaviors, it has not yet been as clearly elucidated as it deserves to be in this study. In this review, fundamental theory and measurement techniques for molecular diffusion in the pore channel system of nanoreactors are presented, structural regulation strategies of pore channel parameters for controlling molecular diffusion are discussed, and the effects of molecular diffusion in the pore channel system on catalytic reactivity and selectivity are further analyzed. This article attempts to further develop the underlying theory of molecular diffusion within the theoretical framework of nanoreactor-driven catalysis, and the proposed perspectives may contribute to the rational design of advanced catalytic materials and the precise control of complex catalytic kinetics.

Abstract
Probes sensitive to mechanical stress are in demand for the analysis of pressure distribution in materials, and the design of pressure sensors based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is highly promising due to their structural tunability. We report a new pressure-sensing material, which is based on the UiO-66 framework with trace amounts of a spin probe (0.03 wt%) encapsulated in cavities. To obtain this material, we developed an approach for encapsulation of stable nitroxide radical TEMPO ((2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl) into the micropores of UiO-66 during its solvothermal synthesis. Pressure read-out using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy allows monitoring the degradation of the defected MOF structure upon pressurization, where full collapse of pores occurs at as low a pressure as 0.13 GPa. The developed methodology can be used in and ex situ and provides sensitive tools for non-destructive mapping of pressure effects in various materials.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid porous crystalline networks with tunable chemical and structural properties. However, their excellent potential is limited in practical applications by their hard-to-shape powder form, making it challenging to assemble MOFs into macroscopic composites with mechanical integrity. While a binder matrix enables hybrid materials, such materials have a limited MOF content and thus limited functionality. To overcome this challenge, nanoMOFs are combined with tailored same-charge high-aspect-ratio cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) to manufacture robust, wet-stable, and multifunctional MOF-based aerogels with 90 wt% nanoMOF loading. The porous aerogel architectures show excellent potential for practical applications such as efficient water purification, CO2 and CH4 gas adsorption and separation, and fire-safe insulation. Moreover, a one-step carbonization process enables these aerogels as effective structural energy-storage electrodes. This work exhibits the unique ability of high-aspect-ratio CNFs to bind large amounts of nanoMOFs in structured materials with outstanding mechanical integrity-a quality that is preserved even after carbonization. The demonstrated process is simple and fully discloses the intrinsic potential of the nanoMOFs, resulting in synergetic properties not found in the components alone, thus paving the way for MOFs in macroscopic multifunctional composites.

Abstract
Rapid and highly efficient C3H6/C3H8 separation over porous carbons is seriously hindered by the trade-off effect between adsorption capacity and selectivity. Here, we report a new type of porous carbon nanoplate (CNP) featuring an ultrathin thickness of around 8 nm and easily accessible ultramicropores (approximately 5.0 Å). The ultrathin nature of the material allows a high accessibility of gas molecules into the interior transport channels, and ultramicropores magnify the difference in diffusion behavior between C3H6 and C3H8 molecules, together ensuring a remarkable C3H6/C3H8 separation performance. The CNPs show a high and steady C3H6 capacity of up to 3.03 mmol g-1 at 298 K during consecutive dynamic cycles, which is superior to that of the state-of-the-art porous carbons and even porous crystalline materials. In particular, the CNPs show a rapid gas diffusivity, which is 1000 times higher than that of conventional activated carbons. This research provides a promising design principle for addressing the selectivity-capacity trade-off for other types of adsorbent materials.

Abstract
Zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a promising platform for drug delivery, and information regarding the stability of ZIF-8 nanoparticles in cell culture media is essential for proper interpretation of in vitro experimental results. In this work, we report a quantitative investigation of the ZIF-8 nanoparticle's stability in most common cell culture media. To this purpose, ZIF-8 nanoparticles containing sterically shielded nitroxide probes with high resistance to reduction were synthesized and studied using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The degradation of ZIF-8 in cell media was monitored by tracking the cargo leakage. It was shown that nanoparticles degrade at least partially in all studied media, although the degree of cargo leakage varies widely. We found a strong correlation between the amount of escaped cargo and total concentration of amino acids in the environment. We also established the role of individual amino acids in ZIF-8 degradation. Finally, 2-methylimidazole preliminary dissolved in cell culture media partially inhibits the degradation of ZIF-8 nanoparticles. The guidelines for choosing the proper cell culture medium for the in vitro study of ZIF-8 nanoparticles have been formulated.

Abstract
The immoderate use of pesticides in the modern agricultural industry has led to the pollution of water resources and ultimately threatens the human body. Herein, two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), namely {[Zn(tpt)2 ·2H2 O]}n (Zn1) and {[Zn2 (tpt)2 (bdc)]}n (Zn2), (Htpt = 5-[4(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)]phenyl-2H-tetrazole), respectively, are constructed as smart materials for visual and on-site detection of pesticides and their removal from water. The exposed nitrogen-rich sites and high chemical stability make Zn2 a self-assembly core to further fabricate MOF-on-MOF-sodium alginate (ZIF-8-on-Zn2@SA) composite by wrapping ZIF-8 on the outside surface. Inheriting the excellent fluorescent emission of Zn2, the rod-like ZIF-8-on-Zn2@SA module exhibits naked-eye detection of thiophanate-methyl (TM) in real fruits and vegetables with a broad linear range (10-100 × 10-6 m), a low limit of detection (LOD = 0.14 × 10-6 m), and satisfactory recoveries (98.30-102.70%). In addition, carbendazim (CBZ), the metabolite of TM after usage in crops, can be efficiently removed from water by the ZIF-8-on-Zn2@SA (qmax = 161.8 mg g-1 ) with a high correlation coefficient (R2 > 0.99). Therefore, the portable ZIF-8-on-Zn2@SA sensing platform presents a promising candidate for monitoring and removal of pesticides, especially suitable for regions with serious pesticide environmental pollution.

Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have long been recognized as a prominent subset of the metal-organic framework (MOF) family, in part because of their ease of synthesis and good thermal and chemical stability, alongside attractive properties for diverse potential applications. Prototypical ZIFs like ZIF-8 have become embodiments of the significant promise held by porous coordination polymers as next-generation designer materials. At the same time, their intriguing property of experiencing significant structural changes upon the application of external stimuli such as temperature, mechanical pressure, guest adsorption, or electromagnetic fields, among others, has placed this family of MOFs squarely under the umbrella of stimuli-responsive materials. In this review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of the triggered structural and electronic responses observed in ZIFs (linker and bond dynamics, crystalline and amorphous phase changes, luminescence, etc.). We then describe the state-of-the-art experimental and computational methodology capable of shedding light on these complex phenomena, followed by a comprehensive summary of the stimuli-responsive nature of four prototypical ZIFs: ZIF-8, ZIF-7, ZIF-4, and ZIF-zni. We further expose the relevant challenges for the characterization and fundamental understanding of responsive ZIFs, including how to take advantage of their flexible properties for new application avenues.

Abstract
The ubiquity of metal-organic frameworks in recent scientific literature underscores their highly versatile nature. MOFs have been developed for use in a wide array of applications, including: sensors, catalysis, separations, drug delivery, and electrochemical processes. Often overlooked in the discussion of MOF-based materials is the mass transport of guest molecules within the pores and channels. Given the wide distribution of pore sizes, linker functionalization, and crystal sizes, molecular diffusion within MOFs can be highly dependent on the MOF-guest system. In this review, we discuss the major factors that govern the mass transport of molecules through MOFs at both the intracrystalline and intercrystalline scale; provide an overview of the experimental and computational methods used to measure guest diffusivity within MOFs; and highlight the relevance of mass transfer in the applications of MOFs in electrochemical systems, separations, and heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
The separation of xylene isomers is one of the most challenging tasks in the petrochemical industry. Herein, we developed an efficient adsorptive molecular sieving strategy using crystalline trianglimine macrocycle (1) to separate the elusive m-xylene isomer from an equimolar xylenes mixture with over 91% purity. The selectivity is attributed to the capture of the preferred guest with size/shape selectivity and C-H⋯π interactions. Moreover, the trianglimine crystals are readily recyclable due to the reversible transformation between the guest-free and guest-loaded structures.

Abstract
Separation of structurally similar components from their mixtures is one of the most promising applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). A high efficiency of such molecular sieving requires fine tuning of the MOF structure. In this work, we investigate subtle metal- and temperature-induced changes in window dimensions of zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8(Zn) and ZIF-67(Co)) and apply such structural tuning for efficient separation of xylene isomers (p-, m-, and o-xylenes). The use of Co instead of Zn favorably modifies window geometry: it accelerates the diffusion of all components by a factor of 2-3 while maintaining closely the same separation efficiency as that of ZIF-8(Zn). Outstanding selectivity above 18:1 and faster isolation of demanded p-xylene from the ternary mixture using ZIF-67(Co) have been demonstrated at room temperature, opening new horizons for its energy-efficient xylene separation. More generally, our findings suggest the prospective ways to tune various MOFs for target liquid-state separations.

Abstract
Intriguing heterogeneities and nanostructural reorganizations of glassy ionic liquids (ILs) have recently been found using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Alkyl chains of IL cations play the key role in such phenomena and govern the anomalous temperature dependence of local density and molecular mobility. In this paper we evidence and study similar manifestations in a variety of common non-IL glasses, which also contain molecules with alkyl chains. A series of phthalates clearly demonstrates very similar behavior to imidazolium-based ILs with the same length of alkyl chain. Glasses of alkyl alcohols and alkyl benzenes show only some similarities to the corresponding ILs, mainly due to a lower glass transition temperature hindering the development of the anomaly. Therefore, we demonstrate the general nature and broad scope of nanoscale structural anomalies in organic glasses based on alkyl-chain compounds. The 'roadmap' for their occurrence is provided, which aids in understanding and future applications of these anomalous nanoheterogeneities.

Abstract
The family of zeolitic-imidazole framework (ZIF) materials is currently considered for the challenging separation of C4 hydrocarbons. However, yet, the microscopic diffusion mechanism for these hydrocarbons in these narrow gate porous materials remains elusive by conventional methods due to its very slow nature. Experimental (solid-state 2H nuclear magnetic resonance-NMR) and computational (molecular dynamics-MD) approaches were applied together to derive slow diffusional dynamics of n-butane and 1-butene in ZIF-8. By means of the 2H NMR technique, we evidenced the presence of two adsorption sites for the guests localized inside the cages of ZIF-8 and in the vicinity of the gates. We characterized the molecular mobility at each site and revealed that the translational intercage diffusion is realized by a slow directional motion associated with the gate-crossing. MD simulations provide an in-depth analysis of the diffusion and fully support the proposed dynamics picture for both n-butane and 1-butene. These calculations enable the derivation of the diffusivity and barriers for the long-range diffusion of both hydrocarbons in ZIF-8 and unraveled the microscopic diffusion mechanism implying intracage and intercage motions. We show that this NMR approach combined with modeling is a valuable tool to probe the molecular mobility for slow diffusing species in ordered cagelike porous frameworks.

Abstract
The flexibility of the ZIF-8 aperture, which inhibits a molecular cutoff of 3.4 Å, can be reduced by rapid heat treatment to obtain CO2-selective membranes. However, the early stages of the structural, morphological, and chemical changes responsible for the lattice rigidification remain elusive. Herein, using ex situ and in situ experiments, we determine that a small shrinkage of the unit-cell parameter, ∼0.2%, is mainly responsible for this transformation. Systematic gas permeation studies show that one needs to achieve this shrinkage without a disproportionately large shrinkage in the grain size of the polycrystalline film to avoid the formation of cracks. We show that this condition is uniquely achieved in a short time by exposure of ZIF-8 to a mildly humid environment where lattice parameter shrinkage is accelerated by the incorporation of linker vacancy defects, while the shrinkage in grain size is limited. The water-vapor-led incorporation of linker vacancy defects takes place with an energy barrier of 123 kJ mol-1, much higher than that for the thermal degradation of ZIF-8, <80 kJ mol-1. The latter is promoted by heat treatment in a dry environment at a relatively higher temperature; however, this condition does not shrink the lattice parameters at short exposure time.

Abstract
Thin films of crystalline and porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have great potential in membranes, sensors, and microelectronic chips. While the morphology and crystallinity of MOF films can be evaluated using widely available techniques, characterizing their pore size, pore volume, and specific surface area is challenging due to the low amount of material and substrate effects. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) is introduced as a powerful method to obtain pore size information and depth profiling in MOF films. The complementarity of this approach to established physisorption-based methods such as quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) gravimetry, ellipsometric porosimetry (EP), and Kr physisorption (KrP) is illustrated. This comprehensive discussion on MOF thin film porosimetry is supported by experimental data for thin films of ZIF-8.

Abstract
Separation of hydrocarbon molecules, such as benzene/cyclohexane and o-xylene/m-xylene/p-xylene, is relevant due to their widespread application as chemical feedstock but challenging because of their similar boiling points and close molecular sizes. Physisorption separation could offer an energy-efficient solution to this problem, but the design and synthesis of sorbents that exhibit high selectivity for one of the hydrocarbons remain a largely unmet challenge. Herein, we report a new heterometallic MOF with a unique tortuous shape of channels decorated with aromatic sorption sites [Li2Zn2(bpy)(ndc)3] (NIIC-30(Ph), bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine, ndc2- = naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylate) and study of its benzene/cyclohexane and xylene vapor and liquid separation. For an equimolar benzene/cyclohexane mixture, it is possible to achieve a 10-fold excess of benzene in the adsorbed phase. In the case of xylenes, microporous framework NIIC-30(Ph) demonstrates outstanding selective sorption properties and becomes a new benchmark for m-/o-xylene separation. In addition, NIIC-30(Ph) is stable enough to carry out at least three separation cycles of benzene/cyclohexane mixtures or ternary o-xylene/m-xylene/p-xylene mixtures both in the liquid and in the vapor phase. Insights into the performance of NIIC-30(Ph) are gained from X-ray structural studies of each aromatic guest inclusion compound.

Abstract
Imidazolium Ionic Liquids (ILs) have been found to exhibit unusual nanostructuring behavior below their glass transition temperatures (Tg), which is ascribed to rearrangements in nonpolar domains formed by segregated alkyl chains. However, the dimensions required for such highly cooperative bulk phenomena are still unknown. In this work, we for the first time, investigate the effect of nanoconfinement on structural anomalies in imidazolium ILs. For this purpose, a series of ILs were embedded into the cavities of metal-organic framework (MOF) ZIF-8 and investigated using spin probes and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The unusual nanostructuring near Tg, previously known for bulk ILs, was also observed for such nanoconfined ILs, and the amplitude of the anomaly was found to be dependent on the structure of the IL, thus showing the effects of molecular packing inside the MOF cavity. The first observation of structural anomalies in nanoconfined ILs opens perspectives for designing smart materials exhibiting these phenomena, and engaging MOFs as platforms creates the basis for potential applications of such functionalities.

Abstract
Flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit a variety of phenomena attractive for basic and applied science. DUT-49(Cu) is one of the remarkable representatives of such MOFs, where phase transitions are coupled to pressure amplification and "negative gas adsorption". In this work we report important insights into structural transitions of DUT-49(Cu) upon physi- and chemisorption of gases and volatile liquids obtained by in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In this method, phase transitions are detected via the zero-field splitting in dimeric copper(II) units. First, a new approach was validated upon physisorption of n-butane. Then, using diethyl ether, we for the first time demonstrated that chemisorption can also trigger phase transition in DUT-49(Cu). On the basis of the EPR results, the transition appears completely reversible. The developed EPR-based approach can also be extended to other flexible MOFs containing paramagnetic metal paddlewheels, where high sensitivity and spectral resolution allow in situ studies of stimuli-induced structural variability.

Abstract
Pressure-induced amorphization is one of the processes inhibiting functional properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Such amorphization often occurs when MOFs are being shaped for practical applications, as well as during certain exploitations. Typically, the porosity of MOFs, which is crucial for sorption, separation, and catalysis, suffers under external pressure. We report a new experimental approach for efficient monitoring of pressure-induced processes in MOFs that employs trace amounts of spin probes (stable nitroxide radicals) embedded in the pores of MOF and detection by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). EPR spectra of spin probes in MOF ZIF-8 demonstrate significant changes upon pressure-induced amorphization, whose extent can be quantitatively determined from the spectral shapes. Moreover, stabilization of ZIF-8 against amorphization via reversible adsorption of various guests was studied using this approach. Mitigation effect depends on diffusion parameters and localization of guest molecules in the cavity, and maintaining of the structure and permeability up to 80% was achieved even at 1.15 GPa applied. Therefore, the proposed methodology allows significant mitigation of MOF amorphization under external pressure and conveys further perspectives of the controlled adjustment of stabilizing agents for various MOFs and their applications.
