Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Inorganic Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline materials with high porosity.
  • Titanium-oxo (Ti-oxo) clusters offer unique structural and chemical properties.
  • Developing amorphous MOF glasses with tunable porosity remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize novel metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses by linking titanium-oxo (Ti-oxo) clusters.
  • To investigate the role of carboxylate linkages in achieving high porosity.
  • To characterize the structure and properties of the resulting MOF glasses.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of MOF glasses via evaporation of solutions containing Ti-oxo clusters (Ti ol{16}O ol{16}(OEt) ol{32}), carboxylate linkers, and m-cresol.
  • Confirmation of carboxylate linkage formation using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy.
  • Assessment of Ti-oxo cluster structural integrity via X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and ol{17}O magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR.

Main Results:

  • Successful synthesis of a new series of Ti-oxo cluster-based MOF glasses.
  • Formation of carboxylate linkages confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy.
  • Structural integrity of Ti-oxo clusters maintained, as evidenced by XANES and ol{17}O MAS NMR.
  • The fumarate-linked MOF glass (Ti-Fum) achieved a high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 923 m ol{2} g ol{-1} after activation.
  • This surface area is nearly three times higher than previously reported phenolate-linked MOF glasses.

Conclusions:

  • A novel synthetic strategy enables the creation of highly porous MOF glasses from Ti-oxo clusters.
  • Carboxylate linkages are effective in constructing robust MOF glasses with enhanced porosity.
  • The developed Ti-Fum MOF glass exhibits exceptional surface area, indicating potential for gas storage and separation applications.
