Anisotropic node distortions in amorphous MOFs: Low-valent Zr sites as catalytic hotspots

Berend Smit, Wendy Lee Queen, Emad Oveisi, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Jian Hao, Till Marian Schertenleib, Beatriz Bueno Mouriño, Timo Markus Oskar Felder, Vikram Vinayak Karve, Andres Adolfo Ortega Guerrero

We introduce a new approach to defect engineering in Zr-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs), aiming to reduce Zr site valency while preserving high node connectivity. Using a rapid heat treatment (RHT) in humid air, oxygen vacancies (O-vacancies) were ...

Immobilizing amine species in a Cr-MOF for enhanced selectivity in CO2 cycloaddition reactions

Wendy Lee Queen, Jordi Espin Marti, Till Marian Schertenleib, Anita Justin, Jocelyn Richard Roth

After grafting polyalkylamine species onto the ligand within a Cr 3+ -MOF, the material was tested for catalyzing cycloaddition reactions between CO 2 and 1,2-epoxybutane (EB). ...

A local structure perspective on metal-organic frameworks

Till Marian Schertenleib

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), or coordination polymers (CPs), are networks of organic ligands and metal nodes that form ordered or disordered structures. By selecting appropriate building blocks, CPs with tailored pore shapes, dimensions, and surface ch ...

A post-synthetic modification strategy for enhancing Pt adsorption efficiency in MOF/polymer composites

Wendy Lee Queen, Emad Oveisi, Mounir Driss Mensi, Till Marian Schertenleib, Mehrdad Asgari, Olga Trukhina, Vikram Vinayak Karve

Growing polymers inside porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can allow incoming guests to access the backbone of otherwise non-porous polymers, boosting the number and/or strength of available adsorption sites inside the porous support. In the present wo ...

Post-Synthetic Covalent Grafting of Amines to NH2-MOF for Post-Combustion Carbon Capture

Wendy Lee Queen, Mounir Driss Mensi, Jordi Espin Marti, Till Marian Schertenleib, Miriam Jasmin Pougin, Ilia Kochetygov, Andres Adolfo Ortega Guerrero, Anita Justin

Herein, a post-synthetic modification strategy is used to covalently graft polyamines, including ethylenediamine (ED), diethylenetriamine (DETA), tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TAEA), and polyethyleneimine (PEI) to the amino-ligand inside of a Cr-MOF, NH2-Cr-BDC ...

Post-Synthetic Modification of a MOF via Continuous Flow Methods for Gold E-Waste Recycling

Wendy Lee Queen, Till Marian Schertenleib, Timo Markus Oskar Felder, Olga Trukhina, Jocelyn Richard Roth

This work represents a pioneering effort in utilizing continuous flow methods for the post-synthetic modification of a nanoporous metal-organic framework (Fe-BTC or MIL-100(Fe)) with short-chain redox-active oligomers (poly-p-phenylenediamine, PpPDA). The ...

Uranium(IV) and Thorium(IV) Coordination Polymers Based on Tritopic Carboxylic Acids

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Wendy Lee Queen, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Till Marian Schertenleib, Aurélien René Willauer

Rigidtritopic linkers of different sizes were used to buildporous U-(IV) and Th-(IV) 3D frameworks. The charge of the polymerscould be tuned by reaction conditions such as the temperature, pH,solvent, ligand, or metal precursor, yielding a series of neutra ...

3D vs. turbostratic: controlling metal-organic framework dimensionality via N-heterocyclic carbene chemistry

Wendy Lee Queen, Emad Oveisi, Mounir Driss Mensi, Till Marian Schertenleib, Shuliang Yang, Mehrdad Asgari, Ilia Kochetygov, Vikram Vinayak Karve, Anita Justin

Using azolium-based ligands for the construction of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a viable strategy to immobilize catalytically active N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) or NHC-derived species inside MOF pores. Thus, in the present work, a novel copper MOF ...
