The preparation of an ultrastable mesoporous Cr(iii)-MOF via reductive labilization. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Kinetic labilization of the Fe(iii)-O coordination bond in a mesoporous metal-organic framework, PCN-333-Fe(iii), is realized by the reduction of Fe(iii) by Cr(ii). The Fe(ii)-Cr(ii) metathesis is thus completely achieved followed by this reductive labilization process that generates PCN-333-Cr(iii). The kinetic inertness of Cr(iii) provides PCN-333-Cr(iii) with enhanced chemical stability as well as a broader range of applications compared to those of PCN-333-Fe(iii). For instance, alkylamine incorporated PCN-333-Cr(iii) demonstrated significant carbon dioxide uptake while PCN-333-Fe(iii) lost its crystallinity after alkylamine treatment.
