Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of metal-organic framework materials (MOFs), and particularly relates to a preparation method for synthesizing Co-based MOF materials by a space-occupying and guiding strategy and regulating pore structures, which is suitable for gas adsorption and separation, catalysis and sensing fields. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a member of the porous material family, metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) have permanent pores, diverse chemical structures and high specific surface area, and are widely used in the fields of adsorption and separation and catalysis.
[0003] In the past period of time, the synthesis of MOF materials blindly pursues materials with large pore diameters, and existing modification strategies cannot simultaneously consider "high adsorption capacity, high separation selectivity, structural stability and synthesis feasibility", resulting in poor structural stability of some materials and easy formation of interpenetrating structures, and when the pore is divided by introducing auxiliary ligands, adjusting ligand structure or multi-metal cluster coordination, the synthesis difficulty and product uncertainty are significantly increased.
[0004] Benzene [1,2-b:3,4-b':5,6-b'] trithiophene-2,5,8-tricarboxylic acid (H3BTTC) is a sulfur-containing tridentate carboxylic acid ligand with good space adaptability and coordination flexibility, and can also be combined with building blocks formed by different coordination numbers of metal SBUs. This feature is more helpful to build MOFs with diverse pores and novel topological structures and to uniformly expose more active sites, thereby improving the contact efficiency with target molecules and significantly enhancing the adsorption and catalytic and sensing performance of the material. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to synthesize a new Co-based MOF material
[0006] Another purpose of the present application is to develop a simple synthesis procedure to regulate the pore structure. The feature is that by introducing mononuclear Co(DMA)6 as a space-occupying site, the torsion angle of ligand coordination is changed, thereby causing the pore structure of the MOF material to change, forming a new topological structure, and improving the adsorption and separation and catalytic and sensing effect of the material.
[0007] TECHNICAL SCHEME
[0008] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following scheme:
[0009] 1) Weigh 0.005 g of benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b':5,6-b']trithiophene-2,5,8-tricarboxylic acid (H3BTTC) and 0.006 g of CoCl2·6H2O and dissolve them in 1 mL of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), and name it solution A. Take 0.050 mL of methanol solution and name it solution B. Take 0.040 mL of tetrafluoroboric acid aqueous solution (50 wt%) and name it solution C. Add solution B to solution A and mix thoroughly by sonication. Then add solution C to obtain a mixed solution for later use.
[0010] 2) Pour the above mixture into a 20 ml screw-top glass bottle with a PTFE / silicone composite gasket, seal it, and place it in a 105°C oven for 48 hours to obtain pinkish-purple crystals. Collect the crystals, wash them with DMA 3-5 times, and dry them in a 60°C oven to obtain the Co-based MOF material.
[0011] 3. The preparation method according to claim 2, wherein the B solution is not necessarily added and can be used to prepare Co-based MOF materials with regular morphology without affecting the synthesis of the material.
[0012] This invention not only provides a novel method for synthesizing Co-based MOF materials, but also utilizes mononuclear Co(DMA)6 for spatial occupancy, altering the torsion angle of ligand coordination and consequently changing the pore structure of the MOF material to form a new topology, thereby improving the material's adsorption, separation, and catalytic effects. The entire preparation process operates under relatively mild reaction conditions, requires minimal equipment, and is easy to implement. Attached Figure Description
