Abstract:
Herein, we report a robust azo-metal-organic framework (MOF), namely, ECUT-15, which can be described as a 10-connected bct net built on trinuclear Co3 subunits. The activated samples of it perform a somewhat breathing behavior. Most importantly, under UV irradiation, this MOF performs outstanding photoswitching behavior toward CO2, giving great variation in the CO2 capture/release performance, for example, 45% under static conditions and 75% under dynamic measurements, as well as instantaneous release of up to 78%.

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...

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.
