Abstract:
A series of mixed-ligand [1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (BDC)/2-amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (ABDC)] UiO-66 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) synthesized through two different methods (low (LT) and high temperature (HT)) have been investigated for their carbon dioxide adsorption properties from 0 to 1 bar to clarify the role of amino loading on carbon dioxide uptake. Volumetric CO2 isotherms show that the CO2 capacity (normalized to the Langmuir surface area) increases with a degree of functionalization of about 46%; for similar NH2 contents, the same values are found for both synthetic procedures. Microcalorimetric isotherms reveal that amino-functionalized materials have a larger differential heat of adsorption (q(diff) ) towards CO2 ; reaching 27(25) and 20(22) kJ mol(-1) on HT(LT)-UiO-66-NH2 and UiO-66, respectively, at the lowest equilibrium pressures used in this study. All experimental results are supported by values obtained through quantum mechanical calculations.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly,...
02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
