Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal-organic framework materials technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a thiophene-based metal-organic framework material and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Heavy metal ions exhibit bioaccumulation in the environment, gradually accumulating in the food chain to reach high concentrations. This accumulation not only increases the toxicity of heavy metal ions to organisms but also further complicates the removal of heavy metal ions through biodegradation. Furthermore, nitro explosives, widely used in mining and railway construction, release harmful substances during explosions, causing damage to the environment and ecosystems.
[0003] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are multidimensional ordered frameworks formed by the self-assembly of organic ligands and metal ions or metal clusters. They combine the porous structure of inorganic materials with the functional advantages of organic materials, attracting significant attention in many fields such as recognition, adsorption, and host-guest chemistry. In particular, the development of fluorescent MOFs, primarily utilizing their fluorescence properties to recognize and adsorb pollutants, including heavy metal ions and aromatic nitro compounds, offers new and potential solutions to increasingly serious environmental pollution and health safety issues.
[0004] The main structure of MOFs is constructed by interconnecting secondary structural units through organic ligands. Therefore, the selection of metal ions and ligands plays a crucial role in the structural construction and property regulation of MOF materials. Currently, most fluorescent MOF materials are constructed using ligands containing O and N, while ligands containing S heteroatoms are rare, limiting their synthesis and application. In addition, the bonding mode of coordinate bonds makes most MOFs relatively unstable. How to combine functionality and stability in MOFs has become an important issue.
[0005] In addition to their inherent luminescent properties, conjugated thiophene compounds can enhance the structural stability of porous materials by strengthening intermolecular π-π interactions and hydrogen bonding with certain small molecules through the lone pair electrons of sulfur atoms on the thiophene ring. However, there are very few reports on the construction of organic bridging ligands for MOFs using conjugated thiophene compounds to date. Therefore, designing novel conjugated thiophene ligands as organic linking units to construct porous materials with novel structures and functions will provide a new research paradigm for improving the stability of MOFs and expanding their fluorescent recognition applications.

[0062] Unlike Example 1, the molar ratio of the organic ligand 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(2-(5-(4-carboxyphenyl))thienyl)benzene to the metal source in this Example 1 is 1:4.
[0063] To further illustrate the superior performance of the thiophene metal-organic framework material prepared in this invention in fluorescence detection, the following experiments were conducted.
[0064] Example 6
[0065] Single-crystal diffraction data of the thiophene-based MOFs material provided in Example 1 were collected using an Agilent SuperNova X-ray single-crystal diffraction system. High-quality crystals were selected and mounted on a loop. Cu-Kα rays were monochromated using a graphite monochromator at a low temperature of 150 K. As a diffraction source, diffraction point data of the crystal under test were collected using an ω-scan method. Structure analysis was performed using the Superflip method in the Olex2 software package, and structure refinement was achieved using the ShelXL method. Results are shown below. Figure 1 .
[0066] Thiophene-based MOFs belong to the cubic crystal system and the Fmmm space group. Z=4, forming a six-core, eight-linked Zr6(μ3-O)8(COO)8(H2O)8 SBU, which further connects with ligands to construct a 3D ordered framework with large pores in the c-axis direction.
[0067] Example 7
[0068] Appropriate amounts of MOF samples were weighed and immersed in water, solutions of different pH levels, and heated. After a certain period of time, the samples were removed and subjected to powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The results are shown below. Figure 2 .
[0069] Thiophene-based MOFs exhibit good structural stability after immersion in water for 14 hours. At pH 0, the crystal structure of thiophene-based MOFs partially collapses, while at pH 1 and 2, the crystal structure is well preserved. Compared to acidic conditions, thiophene-based MOFs are more stable under alkaline conditions; even after immersion in increasingly alkaline solutions with pH values ranging from 9 to 11 for 14 hours, the crystal structure remains well maintained. Heating thiophene-based MOFs to 120℃ for 12 hours resulted in a change in peak shape, indicating that the crystal structure was partially disrupted, but the overall framework has not completely collapsed.
[0070] Example 8
[0071] Fluorescence spectra of thiophene MOFs were collected at room temperature using a Hitachi F-7000 fluorescence spectrophotometer. The scan rate was 1200 nm·min⁻¹, the voltage was 400 V, and both the excitation and emission slits were 5 nm. Fluorescence and emission spectra of thiophene MOFs in different solvents were obtained by dispersing 2 mg of the material in 2 mL of different solvents. Results are shown below. Figure 3 .
[0072] Solid-state fluorescence emission spectra of thienyl MOFs and ligand TPP show that their maximum emission peaks are basically the same, both appearing around 518 nm (λex = 350 nm). However, under the same test conditions, the fluorescence of MOFs is significantly stronger than that of the ligand. This is mainly because after the ligand and metal ions form a polymer network, the ordered orientation of the conjugated groups and the fixation of the organic ligands reduce non-radiative energy transitions and enhance fluorescence. The maximum emission peaks of thiophene MOFs in different solvents are all around 500 nm (λex = 350 nm). The order of fluorescence intensity is: EtOH (ethanol) > CH3CN (acetonitrile) > DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide) > Acetone (acetone) > Toluene (toluene) > DMA (N,N-diethylformamide) > THF (tetrahydrofuran) > CH2Cl2 (dichloromethane) > TCM (chloroform) > DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide). This may be because the polymer backbone of MOFs is rich in sulfur, which can form hydrogen bonds with nitrogen, oxygen, etc., resulting in differences in their dispersibility and fluorescence emission peak intensity in different solvents. Among these solvents, ethanol is the most likely to form strong hydrogen bonds, which enhances the rigidity of the polymer network and reduces non-radiative transitions, thus exhibiting the strongest fluorescence in ethanol.
[0073] Example 9
[0074] Thiophene-based MOFs selected 13 metal ions, including Ag, for recognition. + Li + Zn 2+ Pd 2+ Zn 2+ Mn 2+ Pb 2+ Cu 2+ Ni 2+ Ba 2+ Hg 2+ Fe 2+ Al 2+ 10 mM DMF solutions of different metal ions were prepared. Using DMF as the dispersion solvent, 2 mg of thiophene-based MOF material was uniformly dispersed in 2 mL of DMF. The mixture was sonicated for 10 minutes, and then the fluorescence emission spectra of a series of solutions with different volumes of metal ions were measured. The results are shown below. Figure 4 .
[0075] When Fe 3+ The quenching rate reached 84% when the solution was added to 100 μL, and 94% when added to 200 μL, further demonstrating the high recognition efficiency of thienyl MOFs. Furthermore, thienyl MOFs showed good recognition of Pd. 2+ Ag + Cu 2+ Hg2+ It also exhibits some fluorescence response, but shows almost no recognition of the other eight metal ions. This result is mainly attributed to the photoinduced electron transfer mechanism, because Fe... 3+ Fe has a valence electron orbital configuration of 3d⁵4s⁰, exhibiting a very high charge density compared to other ions. 3+ It exhibits strong electron-withdrawing properties, with electron-rich conjugated thiophene ligands and electron-withdrawing Fe in the thiophene-based MOF framework. 3+ Electron transfer occurred between them, leading to fluorescence quenching.
[0076] Example 10
[0077] Twelve nitro compounds were selected, including 2-nitro-1,4-phenylenediamine, 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine, 2-nitroaniline, 3-nitroaniline, 4-nitroaniline, 2-nitrophenol, 3-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, 1,3-dinitrobenzene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, and 4-nitrotoluene. 10 mM DMF solutions of different nitro compounds were prepared. 2 mg of thienyl MOF material was uniformly dispersed in 2 mL of DMF and sonicated for 10 minutes. The fluorescence emission spectra of the thienyl MOFs after adding different volumes of nitro compound solutions were then measured. The results are shown below. Figure 5 .
[0078] Thiophene-based MOFs exhibit high sensitivity in recognizing phenylenediamine and phenylhydrazine-type nitro compounds, and also show significant recognition of 4-nitroaniline among aniline-type nitro compounds. They demonstrate good recognition of 4-nitrophenol among phenol-type nitro compounds, but show poor recognition of toluene-type nitro compounds. The sensitivity ranking is: 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine > 4-nitroaniline > 2-nitro-1,4-phenylenediamine > 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine; the quenching efficiency ranking is: 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (96%) > 4-nitroaniline (93.2%) > 2-nitro-1,4-phenylenediamine (92.1%) > 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (89.12%). The fluorescence quenching mechanism mainly involves hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions between the large π-conjugated MOF backbone and electron-deficient nitro compounds. These interactions cause electrons in the LUMO orbitals of the backbone to transfer from the MOF ligands to the explosive molecule, resulting in fluorescence quenching. The differences in fluorescence recognition performance for different nitro compounds primarily stem from the number and strength of hydrogen bonds formed. For example, the strength of hydrogen bond formation by different groups is: amino > hydroxy > methyl. Therefore, thiophene MOFs exhibit higher sensitivity for phenylhydrazine and aniline compounds than for phenol and toluene compounds.
