Metal Organic Framework

Metal-organic framework
Metal-Organic Frameworks are crystalline compounds consisting of metal ions or clusters coordinated to often rigid organic molecules to form one-, two-, or three-dimensional structures that can be porous. In some cases, the pores are stable to elimination of the guest molecules (often solvents) and can be used for the storage of gases such as hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Other possible applications of MOFs are in gas purification, in gas separation, in catalysis and as sensors.[1]
Metal-organic framework structure

A metal-organic framework (MOF) is composed of two major components: a metal ion or cluster of metal ions and an organic molecule called a linker. The organic units are typically mono-, di-, tri-, or tetravalent ligands.[2] The choice of metal and linker has significant effects on the structure and properties of the MOF. For example, the metal's coordination preference influences the size and shape of pores by dictating how many ligands can bind to the metal and in which orientation.
Coordination Polymers and MOFs

There is no consensus in the scientific literature about the definitions of the terms coordination polymer and metal-organic framework. Some authors suggest definitions based on chemical bonding[3] [4] others propose that the terms coordination polymer and metal-organic framework are synonyms.[5] An IUPAC project was initiated in 2009 to address the terminology issues in this area and will deliver its final report in 2012.[6][7] A progress report has been published.[8]

Describing and organizing the complex structures of MOFs can be difficult and confusing. Recently, a system of nomenclature has been developed to fill this need. Inorganic sections of a MOF, called secondary building units (SBU), can be described by topologies common to several structures. Each topology, also called a net, is assigned a symbol, consisting of three lower-case letters in bold. MOF-5, for example, has a pcu net. The database of net structures can be found at the Reticular Chemistry Structure Resource [10].[4]

Synthesis of MOFs
The study of MOFs developed from the study of zeolites, except for the use of preformed ligands. MOFs and zeolites are produced almost exclusively by hydrothermal or solvothermal techniques, where crystals are slowly grown from a hot solution. In contrast with zeolites, MOFs are constructed from bridging organic ligands that remain intact throughout the synthesis.[11] Zeolite synthesis often makes use of a variety of templates, or structure-directing compounds, and a few examples of templating, particularly by organic anions. These templates are removed (of by oxidation) in the case of the zeolites, whereas in MOFs, the framework is templated by the SBU and the organic ligands.[12][13] A templating approach that is useful for MOFs intended for gas storage is the use of metal-binding solvents such as N,N-diethylformamide and water. In these cases, metal sites are exposed when the solvent is evacuated, allowing hydrogen to bind at these sites.[14] Post-synthetic modification of MOFs opens up another dimension of structural possibilities that might not be achieved by conventional synthesis. A great deal of recent work explores covalent modification of the bridging ligands.[15] Of particular interest to MOFs for hydrogen storage are modifications which expose metal sites. This has been demonstrated with post-synthetic coordination of additional metal ions to sites on the bridging ligands,[14][15] and addition and removal of metal atoms to the metal site.[14][16] Since ligands in MOFs typically bind reversibly, the slow growth of crystals allows defects to be redissolved, resulting in a material with millimeter-scale crystals and a near-equilibrium defect density. Solvothermal synthesis is useful for growing crystals suitable to structure determination, because crystals grow over the course of hours to days. However, the use of MOFs as storage materials for consumer products demands an immense scale-up of their synthesis. Scale-up of MOFs has not been widely studied, though several groups have demonstrated that microwaves can be used to nucleate MOF crystals rapidly from solution.[17][18] This technique, termed microwave-assisted solvothermal synthesis, is widely used in the zeolite literature,[11] and produces micron-scale crystals in a matter of seconds to minutes,[17][18] in yields similar to the slow growth methods. A solvent-free synthesis of a range of crystalline MOFs has been described [19] [20]. Usually the metal acetate is and the organic ligand are ground and mixed with a ball bearing. Cu3(BTC)2 can be quickly synthesised in this way in quantitative yield. In the case of Cu3(BTC)2 the morphology of the solvent free synthesised product was the same as the industrially made Basolite C300. It is thought that localised melting when the components may assist the reaction. The formation of acetic acid as a by-product in the reactions in the ball mill may also help in the reaction having a solvent effect[21] in the ball mill.
Composite MOF materials

Another approach to increasing adsorption in MOFs is to alter the system in such a way that chemisorption becomes possible. This has been achieved by making a composite material, which contains a MOF and a complex of platinum with activated carbon. In an effect known as hydrogen spillover, H2 can bind to the platinum surface through a dissociative mechanism which cleaves the hydrogen molecule into two hydrogen atoms and enables them to travel down the activated carbon onto the surface of the MOF. This produced a threefold increase in the room-temperature storage capacity of a MOF; however, desorption can take upwards of 12 hours, and reversible desorption is sometimes observed for only two cycles.[22][23] The relationship between hydrogen spillover and hydrogen storage properties in MOFs is not well understood, but further research in this direction may provide inexpensive boosts in hydrogen storage capacity.
MOFs for hydrogen storage

Considerable interest has been shown in the development of non-petroleum energy carriers for use in transportation. Hydrogen is an attractive option because it has a high energy content (120MJ/kg compared to 44MJ/kg for gasoline), produces clean exhaust product (water vapor without CO2 or NOx), and can be derived from a variety of primary energy sources. However, the specific energy of uncompressed hydrogen gas is very low, and considerable attention must be given to denser storage methods if hydrogen is to emerge as a serious option for energy storage.[24] Proposed forms of reversible hydrogen storage include: compressed gas, cryogenic liquid, adsorption to high surface-area materials, chemical storage as metal hydrides, and various reactions of liquid fuels high in hydrogen content (whose products must be collected and recycled after use).[25][26] Of these, compressed and liquid hydrogen are the most mature technologies and are the most suitable for immediate deployment.[26] The United States Department of Energy (USDOE) projects that with further technological development, adsorptive or chemical storage may prove most effective for storage.[25] Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) attract attention as materials for adsorptive hydrogen storage because of their exceptionally high specific surface areas and chemically tunable structures.[22] MOFs can be thought of as a three-dimensional grid in which the vertices are metal ions or clusters of metal ions that are connected to each other by organic molecules called linkers. Hydrogen molecules are stored in a MOF by adsorbing to its surface. Compared to an empty gas cylinder, a MOF-filled gas cylinder can store more gas because of adsorption that takes place on the surface of MOFs. (Note that wikt:molecular hydrogen adsorbs to the surface, not wikt:atomic hydrogen.) Furthermore, MOFs are free of dead-volume, so there is almost no loss of storage capacity as a result of space-blocking by non-accessible volume.[2] Also, MOFs have a fully reversible uptake-and-release behavior: since the storage mechanism is based primarily on physisorption, there are no large activation barriers to be overcome when liberating the adsorbed hydrogen.[2] The storage capacity of a MOF is limited by the liquid-phase density of hydrogen because the benefits provided by MOFs can be realized only if the hydrogen is in its gaseous state.[2] In order to realize the benefits provided, such as adsorption, by MOFs hydrogen cannot be stored in them at densities greater than its liquid-phase density.[2] The extent to which a gas can adsorb to a MOF's surface depends on the temperature and pressure of the gas. In general, adsorption increases with decreasing temperature and increasing pressure[2] (until a maximum is reached, typically 20-30bar, after which the adsorption capacity decreases).[22],[2] However, MOFs to be used for hydrogen storage in automotive fuel cells need to operate efficiently at ambient temperature and pressures between 1 and100 bar, as these are the values that are deemed safe for automotive applications.[22] In 2012, the lab led by William A. Goddard III predicted that MOF-210 will have Hydrogen storage capacity of 2.90 delivery wt% (1-100 bar) at 298 K and 100 bar. [27]. Also that MOF-200 will have a Hydrogen storage capacity of 3.24 delivery wt% (1-100 bar) at 298 K and 100 bar. [27] They also proposed new strategies to obtain higher interaction with H2. Such strategy consist on metalating the COF with alkaline metals such as Li.[27] These complexes composed of Li, Na and K bound to benzene ligands (such as 1,3,5-benzenetribenzoate, the ligand used in MOF-177) have been synthesized by Krieck et al. [28] and Goddard showed that the THF is important of their stability. If the metalation with alkaline is performed in the COFs, Goddard et al. calculated that two MOFs will reach the 2015 DOE target of 5.5 wt % at 298 K: MOF200-Li (6.34 delivery wt%) and MOF200-Na (5.94 6.34 delivery wt%) at 100 bar. [27] Other strategies to increase the interaction of MOFs with molecular hydrogen have been reviewed recently. [29]
US Department of Energy hydrogen storage guidelines

Despite the fact that the US DOE Secretary has questioned the viability of existing hydrogen storage methods, the search for high-capacity hydrogen storage materials remains a highly competitive area of research: the race is on to develop MOFs that can meet all of the targets set by the DOE. The DOE 2015 targets for a hydrogen storage system are [30] : 1) a capacity of 40g H2 perL, 2) a refueling time of 10min or less, 3) a lifetime of 1000refueling cycles, and 4) an ability to operate within the temperature range 30 to 50C. Note that these targets are for the entire storage system; therefore, the performance of a storage material must be even higher in order to account for the storage container and, if necessary, a temperature regulating apparatus.[22] MOF-177 currently boasts the hydrogen absorption record, with a surface area of 4526m2/g and an excess hydrogen uptake of 1.23wt% and 32.1g/L at 1bar and 77K.[31]
Examples of MOFs for hydrogen storage

The most important challenge for creating hydrogen adsorbents that operate at room temperature is increasing the hydrogen binding energy.[22] Several classes of MOFs have been explored, including carboxylate-based MOFs, heterocyclic azolate-based MOFs, metal-cyanide MOFs, and covalent organic frameworks. Carboxylate-based MOFs have by far received the most attention in the literature because 1) they are either commercially available or easily synthesized, 2) they have high acidity (pKa 4) allowing for facile in situ deprotonation, 3) the metal-carboxylate bond formation is reversible, facilitating the formation of well-ordered crystalline MOFs, and 4) the bridging bidentate coordination ability of carboxylate groups favors the high degree of framework connectivity and strong metal-ligand bonds necessary to maintain MOF architecture under the conditions required to evacuate the solvent from the pores.[22] The most common transition metals employed in carboxylate-based frameworks are Cu2+ or Zn2+. Lighter main group metal ions have also been explored. Be12(OH)12(BTB)4, the first successfully synthesized and structurally characterized MOF consisting of a light main group metal ion, shows high hydrogen storage capacity, but it is too toxic to be employed practically.[32] There is considerable effort being put forth in developing MOFs composed of other light main group metal ions, such as magnesium in Mg4(BDC)3.[22] The following is a list several MOFs that are considered to have the best properties for hydrogen storage as of May 2012 (in order of decreasing hydrogen storage capacity).[22] While each MOF described has its advantages, none of these MOFs reach all of the standards set by the USDOE. Therefore, it is not yet known whether materials with high surface areas, small pores, or di- or trivalent metal clusters produce the most favorable MOFs for hydrogen storage.[2] Zn4O(BTE)(BPDC), where BTE3- = 4,4,4-[benzene-1,3,5-triyl-tris(ethyne-2,1-diyl)]tribenzoate BPDC2-=biphenyl-4,4-dicarboxylate (MOF-210) [33] and

[33] Hydrogen storage capacity (at 298 K): 2.90delivery wt% (1-100 bar) at 298K and 100bar. [27] Zn4O(BBC)2, where BBC3- = 4,4,4-[benzene-1,3,5-triyl-tris(benzene-4,1-diyl)]tribenzoate (MOF-200) [33] Hydrogen storage capacity (at 77 K): 7.4excess wt% (16.3 total wt%) at 77K and 80bar. 36 total g H2/L at 80 bar and 77 K. [33] Hydrogen storage capacity (at 298 K): 3.24delivery wt% (1-100 bar) at 298K and 100bar. [27] Zn4O(BTB)2, where BTB3- = 1,3,5-benzenetribenzoate (MOF-177) [34]
Metal-organic framework Structure: Tetrahedral [Zn4O]6+ units are linked by large, triangular tricarboxylate ligands. Six diamond-shaped channels (upper) with diameter of 10.8 surround a pore containing eclipsed BTB3- moieties (lower). Hydrogen storage capacity: 7.1wt% at 77K and 40bar; 11.4wt% at 78bar and 77K. MOF-177 has larger pores, so hydrogen is compressed within holes rather than adsorbed to the surface. This leads to higher total gravimetric uptake but lower volumetric storage density compared to MOF-5.[22] Zn4O(BDC)3, where BDC2- = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (MOF-5) [35] Structure: Square openings are either 13.8 or 9.2 depending on the orientation of the aromatic rings. Hydrogen storage capacity: 7.1wt% at 77K and 40bar ; 10wt% at 100bar; volumetric storage density of 66g/L. MOF-5 has received much attention from theorists because of the partial charges on the MOF surface, which provide a means of strengthening the binding hydrogen through dipole-induced intermolecular interactions; however, MOF-5 has poor performance at room temperature (9.1g/L at 100bar).[22] Mn3[(Mn4Cl)3(BTT)8]2, where H3BTT = benzene-1,3,5-tris(1H-tetrazole) [36] Structure: Consists of truncated octahedral cages that share square faces, leading to pores of about 10 in diameter. Contains open Mn2+ coordination sites. Hydrogen storage capacity: 60g/L at 77K and 90bar; 12.1g/L at 90bar and 298K. This MOF is the first demonstration of open metal coordination sites increasing strength of hydrogen adsorption, which results in improved performance at 298K. It has relatively strong metal-hydrogen interactions, attributed to a spin state change upon binding or to a classical Coulombic attraction.[22] Cu3(BTC)2(H2O)3, where H3BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid [37] Structure: Consists of octahedral cages that share paddlewheel units to define pores of about 9.8 in diameter. High hydrogen uptake is attributed to overlapping attractive potentials from multiple copper paddle-wheel units: each Cu(II) center can potentially lose a terminal solvent ligand bound in the axial position, providing an open coordination site for hydrogen binding.[22]
Structural impacts on hydrogen storage capacity

To date, hydrogen storage in MOFs at room temperature is a battle between maximizing storage capacity and maintaining reasonable desorption rates, while conserving the integrity of the adsorbent framework (e.g. completely evacuating pores, preserving the MOF structure, etc.) over many cycles. There are two major strategies governing the design of MOFs for hydrogen storage: 1) to increase the theoretical storage capacity of the material, and 2) to bring the operating conditions closer to ambient temperature and pressure. Rowsell and Yaghi have identified several directions to these ends in some of the early papers.[38][39] Surface area The general trend in MOFs used for hydrogen storage is that the greater the surface area, the more hydrogen the MOF can store. This is because high surface area materials tend to exhibit increased micropore volume and inherently low bulk density, allowing for more hydrogen adsorption to occur.[22] Hydrogen adsorption enthalpy High hydrogen adsorption enthalpy is also important. Theoretical studies have shown that 22-25kJ/mol interactions are ideal for hydrogen storage at room temperature, as they are strong enough to adsorb H2, but weak enough to allow for quick desorption.[40] The interaction between hydrogen and uncharged organic linkers is not this strong, and so a considerable amount of work has gone into synthesis of MOFs with exposed metal sites, to which hydrogen adsorbs with an enthalpy of 5-10kJ/mol. Synthetically, this may be achieved by using ligands whose geometries
Metal-organic framework prevent the metal from being fully coordinated, by removing volatile metal-bound solvent molecules over the course of synthesis, and by post-synthetic impregnation with additional metal cations.[14][36] (C5H5)V(CO)3(H2) and Mo(CO)5(H2) are great examples of increased binding energy due to open metal coordination sites;[41] however, their high metal-hydrogen bond dissociation energies result in a tremendous release of heat upon loading with hydrogen, which is not favorable for fuel cells.[22] MOFs, therefore, should avoid orbital interactions that lead to such strong metal-hydrogen bonds and employ simple charge-induced dipole interactions, as demonstrated in Mn3[(Mn4Cl)3(BTT)8]2. An association energy of 22-25kJ/mol is typical of charge-induced dipole interactions, and so there is interest in the use of charged linkers and metals.[22] The metalhydrogen bond strength is diminished in MOFs, probably due to charge diffusion, so 2+ and 3+ metal ions are being studied to strengthen this interaction even further. A problem with this approach is that MOFs with exposed metal surfaces have lower concentrations of linkers; this makes them difficult to synthesize, as they are prone to framework collapse. This may diminish their useful lifetimes as well.[14][22] Most common strategies to increase this binding energy for MOFs and molecular hydrogen have been reviewed.[29] Sensitivity to air MOFs are frequently air/moisture-sensitive. In particular, IRMOF-1 degrades in the presence of small amounts of water at room temperature. Studies on metal analogues have unravel the ability of metals different than Zn to stand higher water concentrations at high temperatures. [42] To compensate for this, specially constructed storage containers are required, which can be costly. Strong metal-ligand bonds, such as in metal-imidazolate, -triazolate, and -pyrazolate frameworks, are known to decrease a MOF's sensitivity to air, reducing the expense of storage.[22] Pore size In a microporous material where physisorption and weak van der Waals forces dominate adsorption, the storage density is greatly dependent on the size of the pores. Calculations of idealized homogeneous materials, such as graphitic carbons and carbon nanotubes, predict that a microporous material with 7-wide pores will exhibit maximum hydrogen uptake at room temperature. At this width, exactly two layers of hydrogen molecules adsorb on opposing surfaces with no space left in between.[22] 10-wide pores are also of ideal size because at this width, exactly three layers of hydrogen can exist with no space in between.[22] (A hydrogen molecule has a bond length of 0.74 with a van der Waals radius of 1.17 for each atom; therefore, its effective van der Waals length is 3.08.)
[43]
Structural defects Structural defects also play an important role in the performance of MOFs. Room-temperature hydrogen uptake via bridged spillover is mainly governed by structural defects, which can have two effects: 1) a partially collapsed framework can block access to pores; thereby reducing hydrogen uptake, and 2) lattice defects can create an intricate array of new pores and channels causing increased hydrogen uptake.[44] Structural defects can also leave metal-containing nodes incompletely coordinated. This enhances the performance of MOFs used for hydrogen storage by increasing the number of accessible metal centers.[45] Finally, structural defects can affect the transport of phonons, which affects the thermal conductivity of the MOF.[46]
Hydrogen adsorption
Adsorption is the process of trapping atoms or molecules that are incident on a surface; therefore the adsorption capacity of a material increases with its surface area. In three dimensions, the maximum surface area will be obtained by a structure which is highly porous, such that atoms and molecules can access internal surfaces. This simple qualitative argument suggests that the highly porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) should be excellent candidates for hydrogen storage devices. Adsorption can be broadly classified as being one of two types: physisorption or chemisorption. Physisorption is characterized by weak van der Waals interactions, and bond enthalpies typically less than 20kJ/mol. Chemisorption, alternatively, is defined by stronger covalent and ionic bonds, with bond enthalpies between 250 and 500kJ/mol. In both cases, the adsorbate atoms or molecules (i.e. the particles which adhere to the surface) are attracted to the adsorbent (solid) surface because of the surface energy that results from unoccupied bonding locations at the surface. The degree of orbital overlap then determines if the interactions will be physisorptive or chemisorptive.[47] Adsorption of molecular hydrogen in MOFs is physisorptive. Since molecular hydrogen only has two electrons, dispersion forces are weak, typically 4-7 kJ/mol, and are only sufficient for adsorption at temperatures below 298 K.[22] The first complete explanation of the H2 sorption mechanism in MOFs was reported by the group of William A. Goddard III.[27] Previous works on the topic did not address the problem of the mechanism of hydrogen adsorption at room temperature. In this work statistical ensembles were averaged to obtain the sorption mechanism with the grand canonical ensemble. The multiple configurations that the H2 framework needs to explore at room temperature in the sorption process is a more physical meaningful method than single snapshots. After averaging the ensemble of all configurations, they found that for COFs and MOFs, the pore filling mechanism is predominant, while there are not clear evidence about the formation of single layers. [27]
Determining hydrogen storage capacity

For the characterization of MOFs as hydrogen storage materials, there are two hydrogen-uptake measurement methods: gravimetric and volumetric. To obtain the total amount of hydrogen in the MOF, both the amount of hydrogen absorbed on its surface and the amount of hydrogen residing in its pores should be considered. To calculate the absolute absorbed amount (Nabs), the surface excess amount (Nex) is added to the product of the bulk density of hydrogen (bulk) and the pore volume of the MOF (Vpore), as shown in the following equation:[48] Nabs=Nex+(bulk)(Vpore) Gravimetric method The increased mass of the MOF due to the stored hydrogen is directly calculated by a highly sensitive microbalance.[48] The mass of the adsorbed hydrogen decreases when high pressure is applied to the system due to its buoyancy. This weight loss is calculated by the volume of the MOFs frame and the density of hydrogen.[49] Volumetric method The changing of amount of hydrogen stored in the MOF is measured by detecting the varied pressure of hydrogen at constant volume.[48] The volume of adsorbed hydrogen in the MOF is then calculated by subtracting the volume of hydrogen in free space from the total volume of dosed hydrogen.[50]
Other methods of hydrogen storage

There are six possible methods that can be used for the reversible storage of hydrogen with a high volumetric and gravimetric density, which are summarized in the following table, (where m is the gravimetric density, v is the volumetric density, T is the working temperature, and P is the working pressure):[51]

Of these, high-pressure gas cylinders and liquid hydrogen in cryogenic tanks are the least practical ways to store hydrogen for the purpose of fuel due to the extremely high pressure required for storing hydrogen gas or the extremely low temperature required for storing hydrogen liquid. The other methods are all being studied and developed extensively.[51]
MOFs for catalysis

MOFs have large potential in numerous catalyst applications. Catalysts are used to manufacture the majority of the most used chemicals in the world. The high surface area, tunable porosity, diversity in metal and functional groups of MOFs makes them especially suited for use as catalysts. The study of MOFs for catalysts has only recently begun with the majority of the work achieved during the last few years. The set geometry of the MOFs internal framework allows for their use as size selective catalysts. Previous work in this area was achievable only using zeolites. But zeolites are limited by the fixed tetrahedral coordination of the Si/Al connecting points and the oxide linker and there are only less than 200 zeolites present indicating its limitation in structure tuning whereas MOFs use versatile coordination chemistry, polytopic linkers, and terminating ligands (F-, OH-, H2O among others) which makes it possible to design an almost infinite variety of MOF structures. It is also difficult to obtain zeolites with pore sizes larger than 1nm, which limits the catalytic applications of zeolites to relatively small organic molecules (typically no larger than xylenes). Furthermore, mild synthetic conditions typically employed for MOF synthesis allow direct incorporation of a variety of delicate functionalities into the framework structures. Such a process would not be possible with zeolites or other microporous crystalline oxide-based materials because of the harsh conditions typically used for their synthesis (e.g., calcination at high temperatures to remove organic templates). Again, zeolites still cannot be obtained in enantiopure form, which prevents applications of zeolites in catalytic asymmetric synthesis of value-added chiral molecules for the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fragrance industries. For example, either enantiopure chiral ligands or their metal complexes can be incorporated directly into the frameworks of MOFs to lead to efficient asymmetric catalysts. Even some MOF materials may bridge the gap between zeolites and enzymes when they combine isolated polynuclear sites, dynamic host-guest responses, and a hydrophobic cavity environment. MOFs might be useful for making semi-conductors. Theoretical calculations show that MOFs are semiconductors or insulators with band gaps between 1.0 and 5.5 eV which can be altered by changing the degree of conjugation in the ligands indicating its possibility for being photocatalysts.

Design of MOFs for catalysis

Like other heterogeneous catalysts, MOFs allow for easier post-reaction separation and recyclability than homogeneous catalysts. In some cases, they also give a highly enhanced catalyst stability. Additionally, they typically offer substrate-size selectivity. Nevertheless, while clearly important for reactions in living systems, selectivity on the basis of substrate size is of limited value in abiotic catalysis, as reasonably pure feedstocks are generally available.
Example of MOF-5
Catalysis with metal ions or metal clusters Among the earliest reports of MOF-based catalysis was a description in 1994 by Fujita and co-workers on the cyanosilylation of aldehydes by a 2D MOF (layered square grids) of formula Cd(4,4-bpy)2(NO3)2.[52] This investigation centered mainly on sizeand shape-selective clathration. A second set of examples are those reported by Llabrs i Xamena et al. based on a two-dimensional, square-grid MOF containing single Pd(II) ions as nodes and 2-hydroxypyrimidinolates as struts.[53] Despite initial coordinative saturation, the palladium centers in this MOF proved capable of catalyzing alcohol oxidation, olefin hydrogenation, and Suzuki CC coupling. At a minimum, these reactions necessarily entail redox oscillations of the metal nodes between Pd(II) and Pd(0) intermediates accompanying by drastic changes in coordination number, which Example of zeolite catalyst would certainly lead to destabilization and potential destruction of the original framework if all the Pd centers are catalytically active. The observation of substrate shape- and size-selectivity implies that the catalytic reactions are heterogeneous and are indeed occurring within the MOF. Nevertheless, at least for hydrogenation, it is difficult to rule out the possibility that catalysis is occurring at the surface of MOF-encapsulated palladium clusters/nanoparticles (i.e., partial decomposition sites) or defect sites, rather than at transiently labile, but otherwise intact, single-atom MOF nodes. Ravon et al. have extended studies of opportunistic MOF-based catalysis to the cubic compound, MOF-5.[54] This material comprises coordinatively saturated Zn4O nodes and a fully complexed bdc struts; yet it apparently catalyzes the FriedelCrafts tert-butylation of both toluene and biphenyl. Furthermore, para alkylation is strongly favored over ortho alkylation, a behavior thought to reflect the encapsulation of reactants by the MOF.
Metal-organic framework Catalysis with functional struts The porous-framework material [Cu3(btc)2(H2O)3], also known as HKUST-1,[55] contains large cavities having windows of diameter ~6 . The coordinated water molecules are easily removed, leaving open Cu(II) sites. Kaskel and co-workers showed that these Lewis acid sites could catalyze the cyanosilylation of benzaldehyde or acetone. Alaerts et al. investigated the behavior of the anhydrous version of HKUST-1 as an acid catalyst.[56] Recognizing the potential for opportunistic catalysis at defect sites (such as exposed carboxylic acids), they examined three reactions: isomerization of a-pinene oxide, cyclization of citronellal, and rearrangement of a-bromoacetals, whose product selectivity patterns differ significantly for Brsted vs. Lewis acid-catalyzed pathways. Based on experimental data, these researchers concluded that [Cu3(btc)2] indeed functions primarily as a Lewis acid catalyst. Kaskel and co-workers also evaluated the behavior of MIL-101, a large-cavity MOF having the formula[Cr3F(H2O)2O(bdc)3] as a cyanosilylation catalyst.[57] The coordinated water molecules in MIL-101 are easily removed to expose Cr(III) sites. As one might expect, given the greater Lewis acidity of Cr(III) vs. Cu(II), MIL-101 is much more active than HKUST-1 as a catalyst for the cyanosilylation of aldehydes. Additionally, the Kaskel group observed that the catalytic sites of MIL-101, in contrast to those of HKUST-1, are immune to unwanted reduction by benzaldehyde. The Lewis-acid-catalyzed cyanosilylation of aromatic aldehydes has also been carried out by Long and co-workers using a MOF of the formula Mn3[(Mn4Cl)3BTT8(CH3OH)10].[58] This material contains a three-dimensional pore structure, with the pore diameter equaling 10 . In principle, either of the two types of Mn(II) sites could function as a catalyst. Noteworthy features of this catalyst are high conversion yields (for small substrates) and good substrate-size-selectivity, consistent with channellocalized catalysis. Catalysis with MOF-encapsulated catalysts The MOF encapsulation approach invites comparison to earlier studies of oxidative catalysis by zeolite-encapsulated Fe(porphyrin)[59] as well as Mn(porphyrin)[60] systems. The zeolite studies generally employed iodosylbenzene (PhIO), rather than TPHP as oxidant. The difference is likely mechanistically significant, thus complicating comparisons. Briefly, PhIO is a single oxygen atom donor, while TBHP is capable of more complex behavior. In addition, for the MOF-based system, it is conceivable that oxidation proceeds via both oxygen transfer from a manganese oxo intermediate as well as a manganese-initiated radical chain reaction pathway. Regardless of mechanism, the approach is a promising one for isolating and thereby stabilizing the porphyrins against both oxo-bridged dimer formation and oxidative degradation.[61] Catalysis with metal-free organic cavity modifiers Most examples of MOF-based catalysis make use of metal ions or atoms as active sites. Among the few exceptions are two nickel- and two copper-containing MOFs synthesized by Rosseinsky and co-workers.[62] These compounds employ amino acids(L- or D-aspartate) together with dipyridyls as struts. The coordination chemistry is such that the amine group of the aspartate cannot be protonated by added HCl, but one of the aspartate carboxylates can. Thus, the framework-incorporated amino acid can exist in a form that is not accessible for the free amino acid. While the nickel-based compounds are marginally porous, on account of tiny channel dimensions, the copper versions are clearly porous. The Rosseinsky group showed that the carboxylic acids behave as Brsted acidic catalysts, facilitating (in the copper cases) the ring-opening methanolysis of a small, cavityaccessible epoxide at up to 65% yield. These researchers point out that superior homogeneous catalysts exist, but emphasize that the catalyst formed here is unique to the MOF environment, thus representing an interesting proof of concept. Kitagawa and co-workers have reported the synthesis of a catalytic MOF having the formula [Cd(4-btapa)2(NO3)2].[63] The MOF is three-dimensional, consisting of an identical catenated pair of networks, yet still featuring pores of molecular dimensions. The nodes consist of single cadmium ions, octahedrally ligated by pyridyl nitrogens. From a catalysis standpoint, however, the most interesting feature of this material is the presence of guest-accessible amide functionalities. The researchers showed that the amides are capable of base-catalyzing the Knoevenagel condensation of benzaldehyde with malononitrile. Reactions with larger nitriles, however, are only marginally accelerated,

Metal-organic framework implying that catalysis takes place chiefly within the materials channels rather than on its exterior. A noteworthy finding is the lack of catalysis by the free strut in homogeneous solution, evidently due to intermolecular H-bonding between bptda molecules. Thus, the MOF architecture elicits catalytic activity not otherwise encountered. In an interesting alternative approach, Frey and coworkers were able to modify the interior of MIL-101 via Cr(III) coordination of one of the two available nitrogen atoms of each of several ethylenediamine molecules.[64] The free non-coordinated ends of the ethylenediamines were then used as Brsted basic catalysts, again for Knoevenagel condensation of benzaldehyde with nitriles. A third approach has been described by Kim and coworkers.[65] Using a pyridine-functionalized derivative of tartaric acid and a Zn(II) source they were able to synthesize a 2D MOF termed POST-1. POST-1 possesses 1D channels whose cross sections are defined by six trinuclear zinc clusters and six struts. While three of the six pyridines are coordinated by zinc ions, the remaining three are protonated and directed toward the channel interior. When neutralized, the noncoordinated pyridyl groups are found to catalyze transesterification reactions, presumably by facilitating deprotonation of the reactant alcohol. The absence of significant catalysis when large alcohols are employed strongly suggests that the catalysis occurs within the channels of the MOF.

MOFs for achiral catalysis

Metals in MOFs as catalytic sites The metals in the MOF structure often act as Lewis acids. The metals in MOFs often coordinate to labile solvent molecules or counter ions which can be removed after activation of the framework. The Lewis acidic nature of such unsaturated metal centers can activate the coordinated organic substrates for subsequent organic transformations. The use of unsaturated metal centers was demonstrated in the cyanosilylation of aldehydes and imines by Fujita and coworkers in 2004.[66] They reported MOF of composition {[Cd(4,4'-bpy)2(H2O)2] Schematic Diagram for MOF Catalysis (NO3)2 4H2O} which was obtained by treating linear bridging ligand 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy) with Cd(NO3)2 . The Cd(II) centers in this MOF possesses a distorted octahedral geometry having four pyridines in the equatorial positions, and two water molecules in the axial positions to form a two-dimensional infinite network. On activation, two water molecules were removed leaving the metal centers unsaturated and Lewis acidic. The Lewis acidic character of metal center was tested on cyanosilylation reactions of imine where the imine gets attached to the Lewis-acidic metal centre resulting in higher electrophilicity of imines. For the cyanosilylation of imines, most of the reactions were complete within 1 h affording aminonitriles in quantitative yield. Kaskel and coworkers[67] carried out similar cyanosilylation reactions with coordinatively unsaturated metals in three-dimensional (3D) MOFs as heterogeneous catalysts. The 3D framework [Cu3(btc)2(H2O)3] (btc: Benzene-1,3,5- tricarboxylate) (HKUST-1) used in this study was first reported by Williams et al.[68] The open framework of [Cu3(btc)2(H2O)3] is built from dimeric cupric tetracarboxylate units (paddle-wheels) with aqua molecules coordinating to the axial positions and btc bridging ligands. The resulting framework after removal of two water molecules from axial positions possesses porous channel. This activated MOF catalyzes the trimethylcyanosilylation of benzaldehydes with a very low conversion (<5% in 24 h) at 293 K. As the reaction temperature was raised to 313 K, a good conversion of 57% with a selectivity of 89% was obtained after 72 h. In comparison, less than 10% conversion was observed for the background reaction (without MOF) under the same conditions. But this strategy suffers from some problems like 1) the decomposition of the framework with increase of the reaction temperature due to the reduction of Cu(II) to Cu(I) by aldehydes; 2) strong solvent inhibition effect; electron donating solvents such as THF competed with aldehydes for coordination to the Cu(II) sites, and no
Metal-organic framework cyanosilylation product was observed in these solvents; 3) the framework instability in some organic solvents. Several other groups have also reported the use of metal centres in MOFs as catalysts[69][70] Again, electron-deficient nature of some metals and metal clusters makes the resulting MOFs efficient oxidation catalysts. Mori and coworkers[71] reported MOFs with Cu2 paddle wheel units as heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidation of alcohols. The catalytic activity of the resulting MOF was examined by carrying out alcohol oxidation with H2O2 as the oxidant. It also catalyzed the oxidation of primary alcohol, secondary alcohol and benzyl alcohols with high selectivity. Hill et al.[72] have demonstrated the sulfoxidation of thioethers using an MOF based on vanadium-oxo cluster V6O13 building units. Functional Linkers in MOFs as catalytic sites Functional linkers can be also utilized as catalytic sites. A 3D MOF {[Cd(4- btapa)2(NO3)2] 6H2O 2DMF} (4-btapa=1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylic acid tris [N-(4-pyridyl)amide], DMF= N,N-dimethylformamide) constructed by tridentate amide linkers and cadmium salt has been shown to catalyze the Knoevenagel condensation reaction by Kitagawa and coworkers.[73] The pyridine groups on the ligand 4-btapa act as ligands binding to the octahedral cadmium centers, while the amide groups can provide the functionality for interaction with the incoming substrates. Specifically, the NH moiety of the amide group can act as electron acceptor whereas the C=O group can act as electron donor to activate organic substrates for subsequent reactions. Ferey et al.[74] reported a robust and highly porous MOF [Cr3(3-O)F(H2O)2(bdc)3] (bdc: Benzene-1,4- dicarboxylate) where instead of directly using the unsaturated Cr(III) centers as catalytic sites, the authors grafted ethylenediamine (ED) onto the Cr(III) sites. The uncoordinated ends of ED can act as base catalytic sites, ED-grafted MOF was investigated for Knoevenagel condensation reactions. A significant increase in conversion was observed for ED-grafted MOF compared to untreated framework (98% vs 36%). Entrapment of catalytically active noble metal nanoparticles in MOFs The entrapment of catalytically active noble metals can be accomplished by grafting on functional groups to the unsaturated metal site on MOFs. Ethylenediamine (ED) has been shown to be grafted on the Cr metal sites by Hwang and coworkers and can be further modified to encapsulate noble metals such as Pd.[75] The entraped Pd was then shown to have similar catalytic activity as Pd/C in the Heck reaction. Fisher and coworkers[76] showed that ruthenium nanoparticles have catalytic activity to a number of reactions when entrapped in the MOF-5 framework. With this Ru-encapsulated MOF oxidation of benzyl alcohol was reported at 25% efficiency to benzyl aldehyde, but a breakdown of the MOF structure was also noted whereas the hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane was achieved at 25% efficiency with the MOF structure retained under a hydrogen atmosphere. MOFs as reaction hosts with size selectivity MOFs are useful for both photochemical and polymerization reactions due to the ability to tune pore size and shape. A 3D MOF {[Co(bpdc)3(bpy)] 4DMF H2O} (bpdc: biphenyldicarboxylate, bpy: 4,4'-bipyridine) was sythesized by Li and coworkers.[77] Using this MOF photochemistry of o-methyl dibenzyl ketone (o-MeDBK) was extensively studied. This molecule was found to have a variety of photochemical reaction properties including the production of cyclopentanol. MOFs have been used to study polymerization in the confined space of MOF channels. Polymerization reactions in confined space might have different properties than polymerization in open space. Styrene, divinylbenzene, substituted acetylenes, methyl methacrylate, and vinyl acetate have all been studied by Kitagawa and coworkers as possible activated monomers for radical polymerization.[78][79] Due to the different linker size the MOF channel size could be tunable on the order of roughly 25 and 100 2. The channels were shown to stabalize propagating radicals and suppress termination reactions when used as radical polymerization sites.

MOFs for asymmetric catalysis

There are several strategies to construct homochiral MOFs. Crystallization of homochiral MOFs via self-resolution from achiral linker ligands is one of the way to accomplish such a goal. However, the resulting bulk samples contain both enantiomorphs and are racemic. Aoyama and coworkers[80] successfully obtained homochiral MOFs in the bulk from achiral ligands by carefully controlling nucleation in the crystal growth process. Zheng and coworkers[81] reported the synthesis of homochiral MOFs from achiral ligands by chemically manipulating the statistical fluctuation of the formation of enantiomeric pairs of crystals. Growing MOF crystals under chiral influences is another approach to obtain homochiral MOFs using achiral linker ligands. Rosseinsky and coworkers[82][83] have introduced a chiral coligand to direct the formation of homochiral MOFs by controlling the handedness of the helices during the crystal growth. Morris and coworkers[84] utilized ionic liquid with chiral cations as reaction media for synthesizing MOFs, and obtained homochiral MOFs. The most straightforward and rational strategy for synthesizing homochiral MOFs is, however, to use the readily available chiral linker ligands for their construction. Homochiral MOFs with interesting functionalities and reagent-accessible channels Homochiral MOFs have been made by Lin and coworkers using 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (BINAP), 1,1'-bi-2,2'-naphthol (BINOL) as a chiral ligands.[85] These ligands can coordinate with catalytically active metal sites to enhance the enantioselectivity. A variety of linking groups such as pyridine, phosphonic acid, and carboxylic acid can be selectively introduced to the 3,3', 4,4', and the 6,6' positions of the 1,1'-binaphthyl moiety. Moreover, by changing the length of the linker ligands the porosity and framework structure of the MOF can be selectivily tuned. Postmodification of homochiral MOFs Lin and coworkers have shown that the postmodification of MOFs can be achieved to produce enantioslelctive homochiral MOFs for use as catalysts.[86] The resulting 3D homochiral MOF {[Cd3(L)3Cl6] 4DMF 6MeOH 3H2O} (L= (R)-6,6'-dichloro-2,2'-dihydroxyl-1,1'-binaphthyl-bipyridine) synthesized by Lin was shown to have a similar catalytic efficiency for the diethylzinc addition reaction as compared to the homogeneous analogue when was pretreated by Ti(OiPr)4 to generate the grafted Ti- BINOLate species. The catalytic activity of MOFs can vary depending on the framework structure. Lin and others found that MOFs synthesized from the same materials could have drastically different catalytic activities depending on the framework structure present.[87] Homochiral MOFs with precatalysts as building blocks Another approach to construct catalytically active homochiral MOFs is to incorporate chiral metal complexes which are either active catalysts or precatalysts directly into the framework structures. For example, Hupp and coworkers[88] have combined a chiral ligand and bpdc (bpdc: biphenyldicarboxylate) with Zn(NO3)2 and obtained twofold interpenetrating 3D networks. The orientation of chiral ligand in the frameworks makes all Mn(III) sites accessible through the channels. The resulting open frameworks showed catalytic activity towards asymmetric olefin epoxidation reactions. No significant decrease of catalyst activity was observed during the reaction and the catalyst could be recycled and reused several times. Lin and coworkers[89] have reported zirconium phosphonate-derived Ru-BINAP systems. Zirconium phosphonate-based chiral porous hybrid materials containing the Ru(BINAP)(diamine)Cl2 precatalysts showed excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99.2% ee) in the asymmetric hydrogenation of aromatic ketones.

MOFs towards biomimetic design and photocatalysis

Some MOF materials may resemble enzymes when they combine isolated polynuclear sites, dynamic host-guest responses, and hydrophobic cavity environment which are characteristics of an enzyme.[90] Some well-known examples of cooperative catalysis involving two metal ions in biological systems include: the diiron sites in methane monooxygenase, dicopper in cytochrome c oxidase, and tricopper oxidases which have analogy with polynuclear clusters found in the 0D coordination polymers, such as binuclear Cu2 paddlewheel units found in MOP-1[91][92] and [Cu3(btc)2] (btc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) in HKUST-1 or trinuclear units such as {Fe3O(CO2)6} in MIL-88,[93] and IRMOP-51.[94] Thus, 0D MOFs have accessible biomimetic catalytic centers. In enzymatic systems, protein units show molecular recognition", high affinity for specific substrates. It seems that molecular recognition effects are limited in zeolites by the rigid zeolite structure.[95] In contrast, dynamic features and guest-shape response make MOFs more similar to enzymes. Indeed many hybrid frameworks contain organic parts that can rotate as a result of stimuli, such as light and heat.[96] The porous channels in MOF structures can be used as photocatalysis sites. In photocatalysis, the use of mononuclear complexes is usually limited either because they only undergo single- electron process or from the need for high-energy irradiation. In this case, binuclear systems have a number of attractive features for the development of photocatalysts.[97] For 0D MOF structures, polycationic nodes can act as semiconductor quantum dots which can be activated upon photostimuli with the linkers serving as photon antennae.[98] Theoretical calculations show that MOFs are semiconductors or insulators with band gaps between 1.0 and 5.5 eV which can be altered by changing the degree of conjugation in the ligands.[99] Experimental results show that the band gap of IRMOF-type samples can be tuned by varying the functionality of the linker.[100]
Other applications of MOFs

There are many potential uses of MOFs other than hydrogen storage, such as gas purification, gas separation, gas storage (other than hydrogen), and heterogeneous catalysis. MOFs are promising for gas purification because of strong chemisorption that takes place between electron-rich, odor-generating molecules (such as amines, phosphines, oxygenates, alcohols, water, or sulfur-containing molecules) and the framework, allowing the desired gas to pass through the MOF. Gas separation can be performed with MOFs because they can allow certain molecules to pass through their pores based on size and kinetic diameter. This is particularly important for separating out carbon dioxide. Regarding gas storage, MOFs can store molecules such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and oxygen due to their high adsorption enthalpies (similar to hydrogen). Finally, MOFs are used for catalysis because of their shape and size selectivity and their accessible bulk volume. Also, because of their very porous architecture, mass transport in the pores is not hindered.[2]
Methane storage
Omar M. Yaghi and William A. Goddard III also reported the uptake for MOF-177 and they compared it to the uptake of Covalent Organic Frameworks. They found that the total uptake and delivery amount in COF-102 and COF-103 outperform other 2D and 3D-COFs at high pressure, even the benchmark MOF-177.[101] More recently on October of 2011, new COFs with better delivery amount have been designed in the lab of William A. Goddard III, and they have been shown to be stable and overcome the DOE target in delivery basis. COF-103-Eth-trans and COF-102-Ant, are found to exceed the DOE target of 180 v(STP)/v at 35 bar for methane storage. Thus at 35 bar (in v(STP)/v delivery units) the best performers is COF-103-Eth-trans which stores 5.6 times as much as bulk CH4 at the same pressure (bulk CH4 reaches 34). All the designed COFs have superior performance to previously reported COFs and MOFs, such as COF-102 (137), MOF-177 (112), and MOF-200 (81 v(STP)/v delivery units).[102] The new materials were designed for best performance at 35 bar. They reported that using thin vinyl bridging groups aid performance by minimizing the interaction methane-COF at low pressure. This can be extended to MOFs. This is a new feature that can be used to enhance loading in addition to the common practice of adding extra fused benzene rings.[102]
