Ions and Ionic Charges

79.1K
In ordinary chemical reactions, the nucleus — which contains the protons and neutrons of each atom and thus identifies the element — remains unchanged. Electrons, however, can be added to atoms by transfer from other atoms, lost by transfer to other atoms, or shared with other atoms. The transfer and sharing of electrons among atoms govern the chemistry of the elements. During the formation of some compounds, atoms gain or lose electrons to form electrically charged particles called...

Bonding in Metals

Metallic bonds are formed between two metal atoms. A simplified model to describe metallic bonding has been developed by Paul Drüde called the “Electron Sea Model”.

Formal Charges

In some cases, there are seemingly more than one valid Lewis structures for molecules and polyatomic ions. The concept of formal charges can be used to help predict the most appropriate Lewis structure when more than one reasonable structure exists.

Trends in Lattice Energy: Ion Size and Charge

26.7K
An ionic compound is stable because of the electrostatic attraction between its positive and negative ions. The lattice energy of a compound is a measure of the strength of this attraction. The lattice energy (ΔHlattice) of an ionic compound is defined as the energy required to separate one mole of the solid into its component gaseous ions. For the ionic solid sodium chloride, the lattice energy is the enthalpy change of the process:

Metal-Ligand Bonds02:51

Metal-Ligand Bonds

24.3K
The hemoglobin in the blood, the chlorophyll in green plants, vitamin B-12, and the catalyst used in the manufacture of polyethylene all contain coordination compounds. Ions of the metals, especially the transition metals, are likely to form complexes.
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...

Properties of Transition Metals02:58

Properties of Transition Metals

29.8K
Transition metals are defined as those elements that have partially filled d orbitals. As shown in Figure 1, the d-block elements in groups 3–12 are transition elements. The f-block elements, also called inner transition metals (the lanthanides and actinides), also meet this criterion because the d orbital is partially occupied before the f orbitals.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising porous materials for gas storage and separation.
  • Developing novel MOFs with enhanced stability and specific adsorption properties is crucial for practical applications.
  • Charge-separated MOFs offer unique electronic properties that can be leveraged for selective gas adsorption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize a new charge-separated metal-organic framework (MOF) with a diamondoid structure.
  • To investigate the gas adsorption properties of the synthesized MOF, focusing on CO2 and N2 selectivity.
  • To evaluate the potential applications of this MOF in flue gas treatment and CO2 sequestration.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of the charge-separated MOF, designated UNM-1, using an anionic borate ligand and cationic Cu(i) metal ions.
  • Characterization of the MOF structure, including its diamondoid framework and four-fold interpenetration.
  • Gas adsorption analyses to determine surface area (SABET) and CO2/N2 selectivity at various temperatures and pressures.

Main Results:

  • Successful synthesis and characterization of UNM-1, a charge-separated MOF with high environmental stability.
  • The MOF exhibits a large surface area (SABET = 621 m2 g-1) due to the absence of free ions.
  • Temperature-dependent CO2 adsorption/desorption hysteresis and high CO2/N2 ideal selectivities (up to ca. 99 at 313 K and 1 bar) were observed.

Conclusions:

  • The novel charge-separated MOF, UNM-1, demonstrates excellent stability and significant CO2 adsorption capacity.
  • The observed high CO2/N2 selectivity suggests UNM-1 is a promising candidate for carbon capture technologies.
  • This study highlights the potential of charge-separated MOFs for industrial applications in flue gas treatment and CO2 sequestration.
