Metal-Ligand Bonds02:51

Metal-Ligand Bonds

20.4K
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...

Structural Isomerism

Isomerism in Complexes
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, SCN− can...

Properties of Organometallic Compounds

921
Organometallic compounds are compounds that contain a carbon–metal bond. Carbon belongs to an organyl group like alkyl, aryl, allyl, or benzyl groups. The metal can be from Group I or Group II of the periodic table, a transition metal, or a semimetal.

Metallic Solids02:37

Metallic Solids

18.1K
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability....

Valence Bond Theory02:42

Valence Bond Theory

8.4K
Coordination compounds and complexes exhibit different colors, geometries, and magnetic behavior, depending on the metal atom/ion and ligands from which they are composed. In an attempt to explain the bonding and structure of coordination complexes, Linus Pauling proposed the valence bond theory, or VBT, using the concepts of hybridization and the overlapping of the atomic orbitals. According to VBT, the central metal atom or ion (Lewis acid) hybridizes to provide empty orbitals of suitable...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials with diverse applications.
  • Multivariate MOFs (MTV-MOFs) offer enhanced tunability through the incorporation of multiple organic linkers.
  • Controlling linker composition and functionality in MTV-MOFs is crucial for tailoring material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize a series of MTV-MOFs with a high diversity of organic linkers and functionalities.
  • To investigate the relationship between linker composition, framework structure, and porosity in MTV-MOFs.
  • To assess the predictability of linker incorporation in multivariate systems.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of MTV-MOFs incorporating up to 36 different organic linkers with varied functionalities.
  • Characterization using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
  • Porosity and surface area determination via nitrogen sorption isotherms (BET analysis).

Main Results:

  • Successfully synthesized MTV-MOFs containing 36 distinct organic linkers with functionalities including amine, nitro, and aromatic groups.
  • Frameworks exhibited linker incorporation ranging from 0.07% to 6.64%, with total linker mass percentages between 74.8-75.1%.
  • Observed BET surface areas reached up to 1,755 m²/g, while MOF-5 showed 3,380 m²/g; 34 linkers demonstrated linear incorporation correlations.

Conclusions:

  • MTV-MOFs can be controllably synthesized with a high degree of linker diversity.
  • Linker incorporation is largely predictable, with minimal influence from inter-linker interactions.
  • The characterized MTV-MOFs present tunable porosity and composition for potential advanced applications.
