  Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show great prospect as catalysts and catalyst support materials. Yet, studies that address their dynamic, kinetic and mechanistic role in target reactions are scarce. In this study, an exceptionally stable MOF catalyst consisting of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in a Zr-based UiO-67 MOF was subject to steady-state and transient kinetic studies involving H/D and 13C /12C exchange, coupled with operando infrared spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) modeling, targeting methanol formation from CO2/H2 feeds at 170 C and 1-8 bar pressure. The study revealed that methanol is formed at the interface between the Pt NPs and defect Zr nodes, via formate species attached to the Zr nodes. Methanol formation is mechanistically separated from the formation of co-products CO and methane, except for hydrogen activation on the Pt NPs. Careful analysis of transient data revealed that the number of intermediates was higher than the number of open Zr sites in the MOF lattice around each Pt NP. Hence, additional Zr sites must be available to formate formation. DFT modelling revealed that Pt NP growth is sufficiently energetically favored to enable displacement of linkers and creation of open Zr sites during pretreatment. However, linker displacement during formate formation is energetically disfavored, in line with the excellent catalyst stability observed experimentally. Overall, the study provides firm evidence that methanol is formed at the interface of Pt NPs and linker-deficient Zr6O8 nodes resting on the Pt NP surface.

  The successful synthesis of metal−organic framework (MOF) compounds relies on an intricate interplay between the components of the synthesis liquor at the given synthesis conditions. Herein, we explore the interdependence of modulator, linker, and solvent amounts in the synthesis of the Zr-based MOF, UiO-67. Our study suggests that control of linker vacancy defects in UiO-67 is feasible by tuning the ratios of these components, and that such control derives from recognizing the kinetic driving forces during MOF crystal growth. Importantly, we show that linker vacancy defects (and modulator molecules occupying linker sites) can be reduced by limiting the solvent amount to maintain a saturated concentration of linker throughout the synthesis. The method enables formation of UiO-67 with an ideal 1:1 ratio between Zr and the 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid linker, without surplus linker in the mother liquor or additional postsynthetic steps, and reduces the amount of dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent to less than 20% the amount in previously reported procedures.

  CO2 hydrogenation was carried out over Pt-containing UiO-67 Zr-MOFs at T = 220−280 °C and ambient pressure, with H2/ CO2 = 0.2−9 and contact times, τ = 0.004−0.01 gcat·min·mL−1 . The catalysts were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption, FESEM, TEM and HRTEM, Pt L3-edge XANES and EXAFS, dissolution-NMR, CO chemisorption, IR spectroscopy, and TGA. A positive correlation was observed between the degree of Pt reduction and CO2 conversion. Contact time variation experiments showed that CO is a primary product of reaction, while CH4 is a secondary product. Testing of catalyst crystals with 0.15 and 2.0 μm crystal size, respectively, revealed no influence of diffusion on the reaction rate. Comparison to a conventional Pt/SiO2 catalyst showed very similar activation energy, with Eapp = 50 ± 3 kJ· mol−1 . However, the turnover frequency over Pt/SiO2 was significantly lower, and Pt/SiO2 did not yield methane as a product. The Pt-containing UiO-67 Zr-MOF catalyst showed stable activity during 60 h of testing.

  Catalyst deactivation during the methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) reaction was investigated using five different commercially prepared microporous catalysts, including Mordenite, ZSM-22, ZSM-5, zeolite Beta and SAPO-34. The reaction was carried out in a fixed bed reactor at a constant feed rate per gram of catalyst. Deactivated and partially deactivated catalysts were obtained at increasing reaction times. The whole of the catalyst beds was characterized using nitrogen adsorption, thermogravimetric analysis, a dissolution-extraction protocol, and UV-Raman spectroscopy, focusing primarily on methods suitable for the quantification of the coke. The results illustrate that topology is the dominant parameter that influences not only catalyst lifetime and product distribution, but also the nature of the species causing the deactivation. For all catalyst topologies, when the entire catalyst bed is examined together, the micropore volume and BET surface area decrease more rapidly than total coke from TGA increases at short reaction times. In the materials with the more restricted access to the internal voids, such as ZSM-22 and SAPO-34, the loss of activity is to a large extent due to species which are soluble in dichloromethane and give rise to distinct features in the Raman spectra. For the Mordenite and Beta catalysts, which have larger pores comprising three dimensional networks, and to some extent for the ZSM-5 catalyst employed, the accumulation of more coke species which are insoluble in dichloromethane, presumably on the external surface of the zeolite crystals, is observed. This is linked to the appearance of more pronounced D and G bands in the Raman spectra, indicative of extended carbon species.

  Zeolites representing seven different topologies were subjected to life-time assessment studies as methanol to hydrocarbons (MTH) catalysts at 400 °C, P(MeOH) = 13 kPa and P(tot) = 100 kPa. The following topologies were studied: ZSM-22 (TON), ZSM-23 (MTT), IM-5 (IMF), ITQ-13 (ITH), ZSM-5 (MFI), mordenite (MOR) and beta (BEA). Two experimental approaches were used. In the first approach, each catalyst was tested at three different contact times, all giving 100% initial conversion. The life-time before conversion decreased to 50% at each contact time was measured and used to calculate critical contact times (i.e. the contact time needed to launch the autocatalytic MTH reaction) and deactivation rates. It was found that the critical contact time is strongly correlated with pore size: the smaller the pore size, the longer the critical contact time. The second experimental approach consisted of testing the catalysts in a double tube reactor with 100% initial conversion, and quenching the reaction after 4 consecutive times on stream, representing full, partial, and zero conversion. After quenching, the catalyst bed was divided into four segments, which were individually characterised for coke content (temperature-programmed oxidation) and specific surface area (N2 adsorption). The axial deactivation pattern was found to depend on pore size. With increasing pore size, the main source of coke formation changed from methanol conversion (1D 10-ring structures), to partly methanol, partly product conversion (3D 10-ring structures) and finally mainly product conversion (3D 12-ring structure). As a result, the methanol conversion capacity changed little with contact time for ZSM-5, while it increased with increasing contact time for the catalysts with smaller pore sizes, and decreased with increasing contact time for pore sizes larger than ZSM-5.

Show summary

  The structure and properties of two new UiO-67-type metal–organic frameworks, along with their linker synthesis and powder and single crystal synthesis, are presented. The new MOFs, UiO-67-Me and UiO-67-BN, are based on 3,3′-dimethylbiphenyl and 1,1′-binaphthyl linker scaffolds, and show a much higher stability to water than the thoroughly investigated UiO-67, which is based on the biphenyl scaffold. On the basis of structure models obtained from single crystal X-ray diffraction, it is seen that these linkers are partly shielding the Zr cluster. The new materials have higher density than UiO-67, but show a higher volumetric adsorption capacity for methane. UiO-67-BN exhibits excellent reversible water sorption properties, and enhanced stability to aqueous solutions over a wide pH range; it is to the best of our knowledge the most stable Zr-MOF that is isostructural to UiO-67 in aqueous solutions.

  Research of zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks has for the past ten years steadily increased in popularity, and new methods for synthesis, modification and functionalization are published regularly. In the leading front of the research is the UiO-series[1] (UiO-66, UiO-67 and UiO-68). The series has have shown great thermal, chemical and physical stability, which partly is due to having each cluster fully coordinated to linkers (12 linkers per cluster, 6:1 ratio). Although the full coordination sphere increases their resistant properties, it leaves little room for functionalizing, leading to a necessity of introducing either missing linker defects in order to introduce new functionality to the MOF, or even direct chemical functionalization of the linkers themselves. MOF-808[2] is a MOF consisting of zirconium and trimesic acid (benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxcylic acid), and while having the same cluster as the UiO-series (Zr6O4(OH)4), only six linkers are coordinated per cluster (2:1 ratio), leaving another six coordination sites in an equatorial belt around the cluster uncoordinated. These six sites are often occupied by remnant anionic species from the synthesis (chloride, formate, acetate etc.), but these species can be exchanged for others in order to increase the functionalization of the MOF. In this work, an overview of the introduction of different functionalities into MOF-808 is shown.

  The selective oligomerization of ethene to linear alpha olefins is an attractive method for production of a wide range of key intermediates for the chemical industry. Current industrial processes are predominantly utilizing homogenous metal catalysts with a cocatalyst in organic solvents. Heterogeneous catalysts potentially offer a more environmentally friendly alternative and significant effort, both in academia and industry, has been put into the development of heterogeneous catalysts for the ethene oligomerization reaction. In this thesis, nickel functionalized zeolites, silica, and metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts have been investigated for the cocatalyst free ethene oligomerization reaction. Zeolites and MOFs are porous materials with a wide range of potential use and have numerous applications in catalysis. Different zeolites and MOFs have been investigated to understand the nature of the active site, reaction mechanism and the role of the support in the reaction. This thesis provides insights into role of the zeolites in the reaction and the dynamic nature of the nickel active site during the reaction. Kinetic, spectroscopic, and theoretical methods elucidate the nature of active and spectator nickel species in Ni-MOFs and opens new research opportunities to develop cocatalyst free MOF catalyst.

  Materials with pores of controlled size and connectivity are of fundamental importance in chemical industry and research. The pores in microporous materials, which have the same dimensions as individual molecules, can be used for the immobilisation of active sites to develop these materials into catalysts. Zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are two such widely studied materials in this aspect. The main objective of my work has been to synthesize MOFs with specific catalytically active sites. As basis of the study, the Zr-biphenyl MOF UiO-67 was chosen, due to its high stability and demonstrated abilities to harbor a wide range of catalytic sites. UiO MOFs (Universitetet i Oslo) were discovered at the Department of Chemistry in 2008 and is now prominent in the MOF literature but its synthesis and fundamental properties has been poorly understood. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a deep understanding to control the properties of the materials by atomic scale manipulation. In this thesis a thorough study is done to refine, understand the synthesis and its effects for a stable, reproducible and reliable development of a desired material. Furthermore, the optimized protocols were implemented to develop UiO-67 type catalysts by anchoring different metals in the pores to serve as active sites. This work has helped to have a better understanding of MOF catalysts for important reactions such as CO2 hydrogenation and ethene oligomerization.

• Kumar, Sushant; Svelle, Stian & Lillerud, Karl Petter (2020). Potentiometric acid-base titration as a tool to characterize porous solid acids. Universitetet i Oslo. Show summary

  Potentiometric acid-base titration was introduced to measure pKa values (Brønsted acidity) of protons in Zr_6-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), including UiO-type MOFs and MOF-808. The pKa values of three typical types of proton present in these MOFs, μ_3-OH, Zr - OH_2, and Zr – OH were evaluated. The two latter protons are assumed to mainly originate from missing linker. From structural characterization using techniques such as TGA, NMR, and EDS, it seemed to not entirely be the case, since standard UiO-66-BDC was observed to not have any defects from the linkers, and the small amount of chloride detected may originate from the pores of the material rather than being part of the structure. Also, one of the two standard UiO-67s (UiO-67-400) which was amorphous, could seemingly detect protons similar to the other crystalline UiO-67-PM MOF and literature. This weakens the hypothesis that potentiometric acid-base titration is a good method to characterize MOFs. All materials were characterized by PXRD, SEM/EDS, TGA, and N2-adsorption. Additionally, the acidic properties of the titrated samples were compared with MP-AES, EDS, and TPD for zeolites and FT-IR for MOFs. FT-IR was applied to discover the same Brønsted acids that were detected by potentiometric acid-base titration. The μ_3-OH proton could be found with both techniques, but the others could not be detected by the preliminary FT-IR measurements that were carried out. Potentiometric acid-base titration was also used to find the available acid site density for commercial zeolites, involving H-USY (FAU), H-BEA-25 (*BEA), and H – β (*BEA), and H-ZSM-5 (MFI). MP-AES and EDS revealed a higher Si/Al ratio (lower Al content) in all the zeolites compared with the value that was provided by the suppliers. This would predict that fewer amount of acid sites would be detected when using potentiometric titration and TPD, which appeared to be the case. The results indicated good agreement between potentiometric acid-base titration and TPD since the measured density acid sites (μmol/g) showed values comparable to each other. This was especially the case for zeolites with low Al content.

UiO-66 metal-organic framework materials as stationary phases in liquid chromatography. Universitetet i Oslo. Show summary

  The metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2 are composed of zirconium oxide nodes (Zr6O4(OH)4(CO2)12)and benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (BDC) linkers for UiO-66, and the amino-functionalised linker 2-amino-benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (ABDC) for UiO-66-NH2. UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2 have large surface areas and a defined pore size and are thus attractive materials for chromatographic separations. The structure of these MOFs also meansseveral retention mechanisms could influence the separation simultaneously, making the retention of functionalised organic molecules on these materials challenging to predict. Hence, the aim of this thesiswas to investigate the chromatography of selected compounds on UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2 in liquid chromatography (LC), to learn more about the potential applications of these UiO materials.UiO-66 and UiO-66-NH2 particles were packed into 100 μm inner diameter (ID) capillaries, and a simple LC-UV system was used for testing. Both materials rapidly (<30 min) packed into columns of circa 10 cm and provided pressures < 300 bar when used in LC systems. The efficiency (plate height) of the UiO-66-and UiO-66-NH2-columnswerefound to be 18 μm and 199 μm, respectively, using uracil asa modelanalyte. However, phosphate-containing analytes were found to have severe tailing. With an aqueous mobile phase, the retention of a selection of small hydrophilic molecules was found to increase with decreasing organic component in the mobile phase. The flow rate was also found to affect retention factors, with larger retention factors for lower flowrates. The effect of temperature in the range 25–55°C appeared to follow the expected trend of decreasing retention with increasing temperature for the chosen model substances, benzene, ethylbenzene and butylbenzene.Pore volume accessibility studies wereinconclusive. However, observations made strongly suggest that benzene, ethylbenzene, propylbenzene, butylbenzene, naphthalene and phenanthrene were able to access the pores of UiO-66.In conclusion, the UiO-66 MOF materials have chromatographic properties different from thoseof the more common LC separation materials, notably in the ability to retain small polar molecules. However, more research is needed to better understand the retention mechanisms of the materials and to single out application areas for these materials in LC.

  Metal organic frameworks(MOFs) arehybridthree-dimensional crystalline materials built frominorganicmetal ions or metal clusters connected with multidentateorganic linkers. MOFs are interesting materials because of itshigh surface area and easily tunable chemistry. The extensive toolkit developed for synthetic organic chemistrycan be utilized to simply changethe organic linkersboth before the assembly of the MOF but also on the crystalline solid. MOFs are excellent materials forapplication inmolecule adsorption and separation, electrochemistry, drug delivery and catalysis. One challenge withmetalorganic frameworksis their low thermal, chemical and mechanical stability. A relatively new group of MOFs discovered at University of Oslo(UiO)in 2008,is receiving enormous attentiondue to its superior thermal, chemical and mechanical stabilitycompared to other types of MOFs.The major experimental work in this thesis has been the synthesis of zirconium 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic(2,6-NDC)MOF, one of the least studied members of the UiO-Zr-MOF family.Missing linker and missing cluster defects have been observed and characterized for the zirconium 2,6-NDC MOF. The stability of the 2,6-NDC MOF in high humidity have been compared to UiO-66and UiO-67. The major characterization tools have beenpowder X–ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, nitrogen adsorption, nuclear magnetic resonance and scanning electron microscope.
