Opportunities and new developments for the study of surfaces and interfaces in soft condensed matter at the SIRIUS beamline of Synchrotron SOLEIL. JOURNAL OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION 2024; 31:162-176. [PMID: 37933848 PMCID: PMC10833424 DOI: 10.1107/s1600577523008810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
The SIRIUS beamline of Synchrotron SOLEIL is dedicated to X-ray scattering and spectroscopy of surfaces and interfaces, covering the tender to mid-hard X-ray range (1.1-13 keV). The beamline has hosted a wide range of experiments in the field of soft interfaces and beyond, providing various grazing-incidence techniques such as diffraction and wide-angle scattering (GIXD/GIWAXS), small-angle scattering (GISAXS) and X-ray fluorescence in total reflection (TXRF). SIRIUS also offers specific sample environments tailored for in situ complementary experiments on solid and liquid surfaces. Recently, the beamline has added compound refractive lenses associated with a transfocator, allowing for the X-ray beam to be focused down to 10 µm × 10 µm while maintaining a reasonable flux on the sample. This new feature opens up new possibilities for faster GIXD measurements at the liquid-air interface and for measurements on samples with narrow geometries.

Ammonia Capture in Rhodium(II)-Based Metal-Organic Polyhedra via Synergistic Coordinative and H-Bonding Interactions. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15:6747-6754.

Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) is among the world's most widely produced bulk chemicals, given its extensive use in diverse sectors such as agriculture; however, it poses environmental and health risks at low concentrations. Therefore, there is a need for developing new technologies and materials to capture and store ammonia safely. Herein, we report for the first time the use of metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) as ammonia adsorbents. We evaluated three different rhodium-based MOPs: [Rh2(bdc)2]12 (where bdc is 1,3-benzene dicarboxylate); one functionalized with hydroxyl groups at its outer surface [Rh2(OH-bdc)2]12 (where OH-bdc is 5-hydroxy-1,3-benzene dicarboxylate); and one decorated with aliphatic alkoxide chains at its outer surface [Rh2(C12O-bdc)2]12 (where C12O-bdc is 5-dodecoxybenzene-1,3-benzene dicarboxylate). Ammonia-adsorption experiments revealed that all three Rh-MOPs strongly interact with ammonia, with uptake capacities exceeding 10 mmol/gMOP. Furthermore, computational and experimental data showed that the mechanism of the interaction between Rh-MOPs and ammonia proceeds through a first step of coordination of NH3 to the axial site of the Rh(II) paddlewheel cluster, which triggers the adsorption of additional NH3 molecules through H-bonding interaction. This unique mechanism creates H-bonded clusters of NH3 on each Rh(II) axial site, which accounts for the high NH3 uptake capacity of Rh-MOPs. Rh-MOPs can be regenerated through their immersion in acidic water, and upon activation, their ammonia uptake can be recovered for at least three cycles. Our findings demonstrate that MOPs can be used as porous hosts to capture corrosive molecules like ammonia, and that their surface functionalization can enhance the ammonia uptake performance.
