Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of covalent organic framework materials technology, and particularly relates to a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material based on a tricyclic quinazoline monomer, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the world's energy mainly relies on non-renewable fossil resources, and its energy structure faces the dual pressures of economic development and environmental protection. Environmental problems such as the greenhouse effect and air pollution continue to emerge, making the transformation of energy production and consumption patterns towards cleaner and lower-carbon energy imperative. Hydrogen energy has advantages such as high energy density and zero carbon emissions, and abundant raw materials, making it an ideal clean secondary energy source. Although my country is the world's largest hydrogen producer, most of it still comes from fossil fuels (i.e., "grey hydrogen"). The fundamental principle of "clean and low-carbon" hydrogen production is to develop renewable energy sources. Among these, solar energy resources are abundant, widely distributed, economical, and environmentally friendly; therefore, photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production is an important pathway to achieve efficient conversion of solar energy into chemical energy, but it is highly dependent on semiconductors that can widely utilize visible light. Among them, inorganic semiconductors containing metals (such as metal oxides, nitrides, halides, and sulfides) mostly suffer from problems such as untunable structure, weak visible light absorption, wide band gap, rapid charge carrier recombination, and photocorrosion. In contrast, organic semiconductors, especially covalent organic frameworks (COFs), have the characteristics of diverse and tunable structure, strong light absorption, tunable band gap, large specific surface area, and easy functionalization modification, and have become promising alternative materials for photodriven catalytic hydrogen evolution.
[0003] However, many organic polymers and COFs lack inherent water-splitting activity and still require metal cocatalysts (especially platinum) to improve photocatalytic reaction kinetics. This dependence on metal active centers limits the sustainable development and large-scale application of material systems. A major limitation of metal-based cocatalysts is the energy loss at the photocatalyst-cocatalyst interface caused by lattice or energy mismatch. This mismatch hinders interfacial charge separation, which is a key factor in solar energy conversion efficiency. Despite significant efforts to improve interfacial charge separation, effective solutions remain limited.
[0004] Completely eliminating the co-catalyst requires the photocatalyst itself to contain effective catalytic active sites. Although progress has been made in hydrogen production by modulating the DA structure and introducing active groups, or by embedding metal coordination catalytic structures into COFs, developing photocatalysts capable of achieving efficient water splitting without metal co-catalysts remains a significant challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing two-dimensional covalent organic framework materials based on tricyclic quinazoline monomers. The method involves reacting a tricyclic quinazoline-functionalized amino protecting monomer with trialdehyde phenyltriazine or trialdehyde phenylbenzene under solvothermal conditions to form a highly crystalline and highly conjugated two-dimensional covalent organic framework material. The preparation method is mature, the process is simple, and it can be used to prepare COFs on a large scale.
[0007] The third objective of this invention is to provide a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material based on a tricyclic quinazoline monomer as a photocatalytic hydrogen production catalyst for water. It can effectively produce hydrogen from water without the need for additional co-catalysts, and the hydrogen evolution rate exceeds that of many reported platinum-modified COFs, metal-containing inorganic photocatalysts and their composite materials.
[0008] The first objective of this invention can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:
[0009] A two-dimensional covalent organic framework material based on a tricyclic quinazoline monomer has the structural unit shown in formula (I):
[0010] ;
[0011] Among them, X1 is simultaneously C or N; X2 is simultaneously C or N; X3 is simultaneously C or N.
[0012] The second objective of this invention can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution:
[0013] A method for preparing a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material based on a tricyclic quinazoline monomer involves reacting a monomer with the structure shown in Formula II and a monomer with the structure shown in Formula III under solvothermal conditions using a Schiff base reaction to obtain the two-dimensional covalent organic framework material based on the tricyclic quinazoline monomer.
[0014] ;
[0015] In the structural monomer shown in Equation III, X can be either C or N.
[0016] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the monomers in the structure shown in Formula II to the monomers in the structure shown in Formula III is 1:(0.9-1.2).
[0017] Furthermore, the solvent for the solvothermal reaction is mesitylene and / or 1,4-dioxane;
[0018] The molar volume ratio of the monomer and solvent in the structure shown in Formula II is (10-80) μmol: 1 mL.
[0019] Furthermore, the reaction is carried out in the presence of acetic acid, with the concentration of acetic acid being 5-7 mol / L and the amount of acetic acid added being 5%-15% of the solvent volume.
[0020] Furthermore, the reaction conditions are: reacting at 100-140℃ for 12-120h.
[0021] Furthermore, the monomer with the structure shown in Formula II is prepared by the following method: ;
[0022] Furthermore, the reaction conditions were as follows: tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium was used as a catalyst, 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphine) was used as the catalyst organic ligand, toluene was used as the solvent, and sodium tert-butoxide was used as the base, and the reaction was carried out at 100-130℃.

[0026] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solutions include at least the following:
[0027] In the two-dimensional covalent organic framework material based on tricyclic quinazoline monomers of the present invention, the planar rigid tricyclic quinazoline is covalently linked by imine, phenyl and / or triazine, resulting in a highly delocalized, highly conjugated system. This allows for the formation of highly crystalline, highly conjugated COFs with a regular 2D layered structure and 1D π-π stacked columnar channels. On one hand, the imine promotes charge separation, with photogenerated electrons migrating to the nitrogen atom of the imine. On the other hand, the nitrogen atom in the peripheral imine structure can rapidly adsorb protons from the solution. Thus, the high nitrogen activity directly serves as the intrinsic catalytic site, achieving photocatalytic hydrogen evolution without additional co-catalysts. The hydrogen evolution rate exceeds that of many previously reported platinum-modified COFs, metal-containing inorganic photocatalysts, and their composite materials.
[0028] The present invention provides a method for preparing two-dimensional covalent organic framework materials based on tricyclic quinazoline monomers. This method utilizes a Schiff base reaction between a tricyclic quinazoline-functionalized amino protecting monomer and a trialdehyde phenyltriazine or trialdehyde phenylbenzene under solvothermal conditions to form a highly crystalline and highly conjugated two-dimensional covalent organic framework material. The preparation method is mature and the process is simple, enabling large-scale preparation of COFs.

[0044] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.
[0045] Many COFs lack intrinsic activity for water splitting and reduction, and must rely on (noble) metal-based cocatalysts to improve photocatalytic reaction kinetics. Existing photocatalytic hydrogen production technologies' dependence on metal (especially noble metals such as platinum) cocatalysts significantly increases material costs, and the scarcity of noble metal reserves severely limits their use. Furthermore, a major limitation of metal-based cocatalysts is the energy loss at the photocatalyst-cocatalyst interface caused by lattice or energy mismatch, which severely hinders the separation of interfacial charges. This significantly affects the solar-to-chemical energy conversion efficiency, thus limiting the large-scale expansion of photocatalytic hydrogen production technology. In view of this, this application provides a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material based on a tricyclic quinazoline monomer, its preparation method, and its applications.
[0046] A two-dimensional covalent organic framework material based on a tricyclic quinazoline monomer has the structural unit shown in formula (I). Figure 12 ):
[0047] ;
[0048] Among them, X1 is simultaneously C or N; X2 is simultaneously C or N; X3 is simultaneously C or N.
[0049] Tricyclic quinazoline has a planar, disk-like rigid structure and C 3h Symmetry, including highly delocalized large conjugated systems. After assembly into COFs, this planar configuration readily forms tight interlayer π-π stacking, providing an efficient channel for ultrafast interlayer migration of charge carriers along directions perpendicular to the planar surface. The symmetry of the molecule masks its strong internal electronic asymmetry. The central nitrogen atom (with lone pairs participating in the π-conjugation system) exhibits an electron-donating tendency; while the three peripheral imine nitrogen atoms (with lone pairs located in the molecular plane and not participating in π-conjugation) exhibit a strong electron-withdrawing tendency due to their higher electronegativity. This intrinsic "push-pull" electron distribution leads to strong internal polarization of the molecule, forming multiple polar resonances. This causes a directional shift in charge density within the framework, providing an intrinsic driving force for the separation of excited electrons; after COFs absorb photons and generate excitons, the polar resonance structure within the molecule drives electrons to migrate rapidly to the electron-withdrawing nitrogen atoms at the edges, while holes remain in the framework or central region. Traditional photocatalysts typically require noble metals (such as Pt) as co-catalysts to enrich electrons and provide reaction sites. The nitrogen atoms in the three outer C=N structures have their unconjugated lone pairs of electrons fully exposed at the edge of the molecular skeleton. The high electronegativity of these exposed lone pairs endows these three edge nitrogen atoms with high Lewis basicity; they are ideal proton anchoring sites and highly active catalytic sites.
[0050] In this embodiment, when X1, X2, and X3 are all C, the linking structure is phenyl; when X1, X2, and X3 are all N, the linking structure is triazine; when X1, X2, and X3 are N or C, but not completely different, the linking structure is a mixture of benzene and triazine.
[0051] This invention provides a method for preparing a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material based on a tricyclic quinazoline monomer. The two-dimensional covalent organic framework material based on the tricyclic quinazoline monomer is prepared by reacting the monomer with the monomer with the structure shown in Formula II and the monomer with the structure shown in Formula III under solvothermal conditions through a Schiff base reaction. ;

[0053] In the monomer of Formula II, the tricyclic quinazoline has three amino groups, protected by amino protecting groups; the monomer of Formula III has three aldehyde groups. Therefore, the monomers of Formula II and Formula III undergo a Schiff base reaction under solvothermal conditions to form a highly crystalline, highly conjugated two-dimensional covalent organic framework material. In this embodiment,
[0054] In one embodiment, the molar ratio of the monomers in the structure shown in Formula II to the monomers in the structure shown in Formula III is any point value or any two points within the range of 1:(0.9-1.2). For example, the molar ratios are 1:0.9, 1:0.95, 1:1, 1:1.05, 1:1.1, 1:1.15, 1:1.2, etc.

In this embodiment, when the solvent is a mixture of mesitylene and 1,4-dioxane, the volume ratio of mesitylene to 1,4-dioxane is any value between 1:(0.1-10) or any two values within a range. Preferably, the volume ratio of mesitylene to 1,4-dioxane is 1:1.
[0056] In one embodiment, the molar-to-volume ratio of the monomer and solvent in the structure shown in Formula II is any value between (10-80) μmol:1 mL or any two values within a range. Examples of molar-to-volume ratios include 10 μmol:1 mL, 20 μmol:1 mL, 30 μmol:1 mL, 40 μmol:1 mL, 50 μmol:1 mL, 60 μmol:1 mL, 70 μmol:1 mL, 80 μmol:1 mL, etc.
[0057] In one embodiment, the reaction is carried out in the presence of acetic acid, with the concentration of acetic acid being 5-7 mol / L, and the amount of acetic acid added being any point value or any two points within the range of 5%-15% of the solvent volume. For example, the amount of acetic acid added is 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15% of the solvent volume, etc.
[0058] In one implementation method, the reaction conditions are: reacting at 100-140°C for 12-120 hours. The reaction temperature can be any point or any two points within the range of 100-140°C. For example, the reaction temperature can be 100°C, 105°C, 110°C, 115°C, 120°C, 125°C, 130°C, 135°C, 140°C, etc.; the reaction time can be any point or any two points within the range of 12-120 hours. For example, the reaction time can be 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 60 hours, 72 hours, 84 hours, 96 hours, 108 hours, 120 hours, etc.
[0059] In one implementation method, the reaction is carried out in a glass tube. After the material is added to the glass tube, the glass tube is sealed with an oxyhydrogen flame and then heated.
[0060] As one implementation method, the reaction also includes solid-liquid separation and a purification process for the solid:
[0061] Purification includes washing and / or Soxhlet extraction; the solvent used for washing is DMF and / or dichloromethane; the solvent used for Soxhlet extraction is tetrahydrofuran.
[0062] As one implementation method, after solid-liquid separation, the solid sample is washed with DMF (5 mL × 5) and dichloromethane (5 mL × 5), then Soxhlet extracted in THF solution for 1-5 days, and vacuum dried to obtain a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material based on tricyclic quinazoline.
[0063] As one embodiment, the monomer with the structure shown in Formula II is prepared by the following method:
[0064] ;
[0065] In this application, 2,7,12-tribromotricyclic quinazoline is coupled with benzophenone imine to prepare a tricyclic quinazoline monomer with an amino protecting group as shown in Formula II; wherein the imine group is located at 2,7,12 and can act as a group that reacts with the aldehyde group, and is reacted with a monomer with three aldehyde groups as shown in Formula III to prepare a cyclic structural unit, thereby obtaining COFs.

[0067] As one embodiment, 2,7,12-tribromotricyclic quinazoline was prepared by reacting 6-bromobenzo[C]isoxazole with ammonium acetate.
[0068] ;
[0069] In one embodiment, the reaction is carried out in a sulfolane solvent at a temperature of 130-160°C for 8-24 hours.
[0070] This invention also provides an application of a two-dimensional covalent organic framework material based on a tricyclic quinazoline monomer as a photocatalytic catalyst for hydrogen production from water.

[0096] Experimental example:
[0097] The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance of TCQ-PT-COF prepared in Example 3 and TCQ-PB-COF prepared in Example 4 was tested.

[0099] Figure 9 The results of the control experiments show that COF and triethylamine are indispensable for the photocatalytic system of this invention, and COF also exhibits certain performance (1.53 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹) even without a photosensitizer. -1 However, the performance was improved by nearly 30 times with the addition of a photosensitizer. Furthermore, COF also exhibits certain performance in pure water systems (5.5 mmol g). -1 h -1 ).
[0100] (2) Under optimal conditions (2.5 mg catalyst, 12.5 mg Ru(bpy)3Cl2·6H2O, 1.5 mL TEA, 3.5 mL MeCN, 1 mL H2O), TCQ-PT-COF, TCQ-PB-COF, monomers with the structure shown in Formula II (TCQ-3(N=CPh2)), tricyclic quinazoline (TCQ), trialdehyde phenyltriazine (TFPT), and trialdehyde phenylbenzene (TFPB) were used as catalysts, with LED white light as the light source, and a catalytic time of 1 h. A control experiment was conducted to determine the hydrogen production. The results are as follows: Figure 10 As shown.
[0101] The amino-protected TCQ monomer (TCQ-3(N=CPh2)) has similar properties to TCQ-PB-COF, while the unmodified TCQ monomer also has some properties, and other aldehyde monomers have no properties.
[0102] Under optimal conditions, TCQ-PT-COF exhibited a concentration of 45.44 mmol / g. -1 h -1 The hydrogen evolution rate of TCQ-PB-COF was 30.49 mmol g. -1 h -1 The hydrogen evolution rate.
[0103] (3) The TCQ-PT-COF was subjected to five rounds of catalytic reaction under optimal conditions (1 hour each time, for a total of 5 hours). The hydrogen evolution rate in each round of reaction was measured, and the results are as follows: Figure 11 As shown.
[0104] In the five rounds of catalytic reaction, the hydrogen production rate remained basically unchanged after increasing, showing a stable and efficient hydrogen production rate, indicating that the catalyst structure and performance are stable.
[0105] In summary, this application provides two two-dimensional covalent organic framework materials based on tricyclic quinazoline, which can serve as highly efficient photocatalysts to effectively generate hydrogen from water without the need for additional cocatalysts. Without additional cocatalysts, the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rates of TCQ-PT-COF and TCQ-PB-COF can reach 45.44 mmol g, respectively. -1 h -1 and 30.5 mmol g -1 h -1 It surpasses many previously reported platinum-modified COFs, metal-containing inorganic photocatalysts, and their composites.
