Abstract:
Two 3D/2D anionic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [Cu(HL)] (1) and [Mn3(L)2(DMF)4] (2) (DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), were synthesized by the solvothermal reaction of metal salts and 5'-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2',4',6'-triethyl-[1,1':3',1″-terphenyl]-4,4″-dicarboxylic acid (H3L). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that complex 1 shows three-dimensional (3D) frameworks with a (3,6)-connected 3-fold interpenetrated topology with the Schläfli symbols of {4.62}2{42.610.83}, whereas the topology of the two-dimensional (2D) architecture can be defined as 2-fold stacked layers with the Schläfli symbols of {43}2{46.66.83} for complex 2. In addition, density functional theory calculations, together with UV-vis adsorption spectroscopy, zeta potential, effective aperture size analysis, TEM, and SEM, were also performed to determine the accurate adsorption sites and significant differences in dye adsorption for complexes 1 and 2. Interestingly, UV-vis studies confirm that Mn-MOF displays remarkable adsorption efficiency for cationic rhodamine B, methylene blue, malachite green, and methyl green, and the removal rate reached 95.2, 95.0, 87.0, and 78.0%, respectively, while almost no adsorption capacity was detected for anionic cresol red and methyl orange. However, Cu-MOF failed to efficiently adsorb any selected dyes. Moreover, the magnetic properties were also investigated through experimental and theoretical calculations in detail, which revealed the weak and stronger antiferromagnetic interactions that occurred between Cu(II) and Mn(II) centers, respectively. Finally, this work provides the profound mechanisms for magnetism and dye adsorption.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

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...
02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
