AI Article Synopsis

  • * This grafting process replaces cyanide ligands with hydroxo and oxo ligands at the MOF's nodes, rather than just substituting aqua ligands.
  • * The resulting iron complexes exhibit a broad absorption band linked to iron-to-zirconium charge transfer and demonstrate some electrochemical activity consistent with Fe(III/II) redox behavior.

Article Abstract

Starting with ferrocyanide ions in acidic aqueous solution, cyano-ferrate(II) species are post-synthetically grafted to the nodes of a mesoporous zirconium-based MOF, NU-1000. As indicated by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, grafting occurs by substitution of cyanide ligands by node-based hydroxo and oxo ligands rather than by substitution of node aqua ligands by cyanide ligands as bridges between Fe(II) and Zr(IV). The installed moieties yield a broad absorption band that is tentatively ascribed to iron-to-zirconium charge transfer. Consistent with Fe(III/II) redox activity, a modest fraction of the installed iron complexes are directly electrochemically addressable.
