Interpenetrated Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) of Cobalt (II): Structural Diversity, Selective Capture and Conversion of CO2 Bharat Ugale, Sandeep Singh Dhankhar and C. M. Nagaraja* Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, Rupnagar 140001, Punjab, India.Tel: 91- 1881-242229. Email: [email protected] Abstract Three new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of Co(II), [{Co(muco)(bpa)(2H2O)}.2H2O]n (1), [{Co(muco)(azopy)}.H2O]n (2) and [{Co(muco)(4bpdp)}.2DMF.H2O]n (3) (where, muco = trans, trans-muconate dianion, bpa = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane, azopy = 4,4′-bisazobipyridine and 4bpdb = 1,4- bis(4-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Structural analysis revealed that MOF1 exhibits an interesting 3-fold interpenetrated 3D pillar-layered framework structure with 4-c, {66} topology. While 2 and 3 possess 2-fold interpenetrated 3D pillar-layered framework structure with 7-c, {3^3.4^13.5^4.6} net topology. Gas adsorption study of the compounds show that 1 exhibits selective adsorption of CO2 over other (H2, N2 and Ar) gases with uptake higher than those of 2 and 3. Further, the metal coordinated water molecules in MOF1 can be reversibly removed by high temperature treatment to generate dehydrated framework of 1 composed of highly unsaturated, Lewis acidic Co(II) ions projected in the 1D pore channels. Interestingly, the activated framework of 1 acts as an efficient recyclable catalyst for heterogeneous cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with epoxides to generate cyclic carbonates with high yield and selectivity even at mild conditions (1 atm of CO2). Furthermore, the catalyst can be easily recycled and reused for four successive cycles without significant loss of catalytic activity and structural rigidity. Thus, the influence of N, N'-donor spacers on the structure, topology and the functionality of MOFs has been presented. 1

1. Introduction Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of crystalline materials which have attracted tremendous attention over the last few decades due to their intriguing network topologies and novel properties.1-5 Possessing the merits of both inorganic and organic building blocks, MOFs show useful applications for hydrogen storage,6-10 carbon dioxide capture,11-18 gas separation,19-23 catalysis,24-33 sensing,34-39 magnetism,40-43 drug delivery

and so on.47-50 The crystal engineering51

of MOFs depends on several factors such as, coordination behavior of the metal ion, solvent, pH, concentration of the reaction, the counter ion, temperature and time of reaction.52-55 It has been observed that use of rigid ligand, trans, trans-muconic acid (H2muco) in combination with pyridyl linkers resulted MOFs with interpenetration/entanglement due to its moderately longer spacer length.56-58 The origin of interpenetration in a framework is due to the availability of large voids and MOFs with various degree of interpenetration have been reported. However, the factors governing the degree of interpenetration are still unknown.59-61 Thus systematic investigation on the influence of bipyridyl spacers on the framework structure, dimensionality, topology and functionality has gained considerable interest. Being a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) has attracted a growing interest as an abundant C1 building block for organic transformations owing to its free availability, nontoxicity, renewability.62 CO2 can be converted into value-added chemicals using various strategies which are being investigated worldwide.63-66 However, the thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness of CO2 pose great challenge for its conversion, so efficient catalytic systems needs to be developed for selective capture and conversion of CO2 into value added organic compounds at mild conditions. Being 100% atom-economic reaction, cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides represent one of the most promising method for generation of either cyclic carbonates or polycarbonates.67 Various homogeneous catalysts including alkali metal salts,68,69 ionic liquids,70 organocatalysts,71,72 and 2

quaternary ammonium73,74 or quaternary phosphonium salts,75,76 transition-metal complexes,77-79 salenmetal compounds,80-82 etc., have been employed for catalytic cycloaddition of CO2 and epoxides to cyclic carbonates. However, their widespread application is prevented due to limitations of catalyst recycling and separation of products. Keeping the above points in mind, we were interested to synthesize MOFs based on rigid organic ligand and various bipyridine donors for selective capture and conversion of CO2. Herein, we report the syntheses of

three new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)

and

[{Co(muco)(4bpdp)}.2DMF.H2O]n (3) (where, muco = trans, trans-muconate dianion, bpa = 1,2-bis(4pyridyl)ethane, azopy = 4,4′-bisazobipyridine and 4bpdb = 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene) and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Structural analysis revealed that MOF1 exhibits an interesting 3-fold inter penetrated 3D pillar-layered framework structure with 4-c, {66} topology. While 2 and 3 possess 2-fold interpenetrated 3D pillar-layered framework structure with 7-c, {3^3.4^13.5^4.6} net topology. Gas adsorption study revealed selective adsorption property of MOF1 for CO2 over other (H2, N2 and Ar) gases with uptake higher than those of 2 and 3. The metal coordinated water molecules in 1 can be reversibly removed by high temperature treatment to generate dehydrated framework composed of highly unsaturated, Lewis acidic Co(II) ions projected in the 1D pore channels. The activated framework of 1 acts as an efficient recyclable catalyst for heterogeneous cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with epoxides to generate cyclic carbonates with high yield and selectivity even at mild conditions (1 atm of CO2).

Thus, the influence of N, N'-donor spacers on the structure, topology and the functionality of MOFs has been presented.

and metal-coordinated water molecules and then transferred to the reactor. All the reactants/reagents including internal standard were added at room temperature and the reactor was pressurized with CO2 (up to 0.5 Mpa), flushed twice and then the required pressure was attained (0.8 MPa) for 12 h. The reagent, 1,2-epoxy propane was handled at low temperature due to its low boiling point. The reaction mixture was stirred at 750 rpm under pressurized conditions for 12h. After catalytic reactions, the pressure was released slowly and catalyst was separated by filtration and the catalytic conversion was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The recovered catalyst after catalytic reaction was washed with water and methanol three times, dried at 393 K for 15 h under vacuum and then reused for successive cycles. 2.6. X-ray Crystallography Single crystal X-ray structural data of MOFs 1˗3 were collected on a CMOS based Bruker D8 Venture PHOTON 100 diffractometer equipped with a INCOATEC micro-focus source with graphite monochromated Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) operating at 50 kV and 30 mA. The SAINT85 program was used for integration of diffraction profiles and absorption correction was made with SADABS program.86 The structures were initially solved by SIR 9287 and refined by full matrix least square method using SHELXL-201388 and WinGX system, Ver 2013.3.89 The non hydrogen atoms in all the structures were located from the difference Fourier map and refined anisotropically. All the hydrogen atoms were fixed by HFIX and placed in ideal positions and included in the refinement process using riding model with isotropic thermal parameters. The disordered guest solvent molecules in MOFs 1 and 3 were treated with SQUEEZE option of PLATON90 multipurpose crystallographic software. The molecular formula of 1 and 3 was determined based on the elemental analyses and TGA. The potential solvent accessible area or void space was calculated using the PLATON90 software. All the crystallographic and structure refinement data of the MOFs 1-3 is summarized in

The Co1-O and Co1-N bond lengths are in the range of 2.150(3)-2.060(3) and 2.147(3)-2.131(3) Å, respectively. The degree of distortion from an ideal octahedral geometry at Co1 can be seen from the cisoid and transoid angles which are in the range of 88.11(10)-92.75(10)º and 175.91(10)-178.96(11)º, respectively. The Co(II) centers are connected by muconate dianion and bpa spacer in an alternate fashion forming a 2D [Co(muco)Co(bpa)]n hexagonal network (Figure. 1b).

These 2D layers are further pillared by bpa spacers forming a 3D pillar-layered framework which houses a large 1D channels of dimension ~8.60 X 20.01 Å2 (Figure 1b and 1c). Each Co(II) metal acts as a 4-connecting node and the overall structure has neb-net topology with Schläfli point symbol {66}, analyzed by TOPOS. As shown in Figure 1c, the 3D framework possess a large void which assists the nucleation of two other independent nets to produce a 3-fold interpenetrated, 3D framework (Figure 2a). TOPOS analysis on 3-fold interpenetrated framework gives Schläfli vertex symbol of [6.6.6.6(2).6(2).6(2)] (Figure 2b). In spite of 3-fold interpenetration the framework possesses 1D channels of dimension of ~8.11 X 5.31 Å2 containing four Co(II) centers projected in the pore (Figure 2 c and d) with void volume of ~ 23.5 % (4572.0 Å3) per unit cell calculated using PLATON after removal of guest water molecules. The distance between the two adjacent Co….Co centers along Co…muco…Co and along Co…bpa…Co are 11.037 and 13.560 Å, respectively. Selected bond lengths and angles are given in Table S1, and the selected C-O…H hydrogen bonding interactions between the carboxylate oxygens and the guest water molecules are summarized in Table S2.

The geometry around Co2 center is also in distorted octahedron satisfied by four carboxylate oxygens (O1, O4, O7 and O8) from two different muconate dianions and two nitrogen (N3 and N4) atoms from two different azopy spacers (Figure 3a). The Co-O and Co-N bond lengths are in the range 2.256(11)-1.995(10) and 2.208(11)-2.121(9) Å, respectively. The degree of distortion from an ideal octahedral geometry is reflected in the octahedral angles around Co(II) centers, which are in the range of 86.3(5) – 121.4(5)º and 151.0(5) – 176.8(5)º, respectively. Co1 and Co2 are connected by two different muconate dianions through monodentate bridging µ1 µ1-OO and chelating bidented, µ2-O fashion forming a 2D [Co1Co2(muco)2]n sheet (Figure 3b). The void space present in the 2D sheet promotes interpenetration of another 2D net to form 2-fold interpenetrated net (Figure. 3c). These 2D nets are further pillared by azopy linkers to generate 3D pillar-layered framework which possess 1D channels along the b-axis (Figure 3d). These 1D channels are blocked due to 2-fold interpenetration as shown in Figure 3d and 3e. TOPOS analysis suggest presence of two types of 7-c Co(II) nodes and the structure has a Schläfli point symbol {3^3.4^13.5^4.6} (Figure 3b) . The interpenetration analysis by TOPOS

As shown in Figure 3b, the Co(II) ions are connected by muco ligand to form the 2D [Co2(muco)2]n sheets which are further pillared by 4bpdb linkers to form the 3D pillar-layered framework which possess 1D channels along the b-axis (Figure 4b). Due to 2-fold interpenetration, the void space in 1D channels is reduced as shown in Figure 4c. TOPOS analysis unveil the presence of two types of 7-c Co(II) nodes and the structure has a Schläfli point and vertex symbol as {3^3.4^13.5^4.6} and [3.3.3.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.5.5.5.5.6(5)] respectively (Figure 4d).

3.4. Gas adsorption studies Single crystal structural analysis of MOFs 1-3 revealed that the compounds posses solvent accessible voids. Therefore, the N2 adsorption isotherms of 1-3 was carried out to elucidate the basic sorption behavior. Prior to adsorption measurements, the samples (~100 mg) were activated by degassing at an elevated temperature of 393K under vacuum conditions (20 mTorr) for 15 hours to generate the dehydrated framework. PXRD patterns of the activated samples revealed that the original framework structure is retained even after activation (Figure S4-S6). For confirmation of permanent porosity in MOFs 1-3, N2 adsorption isotherms were carried out at 77K which show type-II profile suggesting mainly surface adsorption (Figure S7). This behaviour can be attributed due to 1D nature of the channels (Figure S8) and at low temperatures (77K), probably N2 molecules (kinetic diameter = 3.6 Å) interact strongly with the pore aperture blocking other molecules to pass through resulting in mainly surface adsorption. On the other hand, CO2 adsorption isotherms of MOFs 1-3 show a typical type-I behaviour supporting their microporous nature and the corresponding BET surface area values are respectively 127.7, 20.3 and 4.7 m2/g estimated from CO2 isotherms carried out at 273 K (Figure 6). Furthermore, CO2 adsorption isotherms of MOFs 1-3 at 273 K revealed higher uptake of 1 over others (Figure 6). The higher CO2 uptake of MOF1 can be attributed due to its stronger interaction with the four unsaturated Co(II) centers decorated in the 1D channels (Figure 2d) owing to significant quadruple moment (−1.4 × 10−39 Cm2) of CO2. Therefore, CO2 adsorption measurements of MOF 1 at 273 K follow a typical type-I profile with volumetric uptake of 1.57 and 1.08 mmol/g at 273 and 298 K, respectively as the pressure approaches to 1 atm (Figure 7a). The adsorption branches of isotherms measured at 273 and 298K were fitted to Freundlich-Langmuir equation91 (shown in Figures S9 and S10) to obtain a precise prediction over the quantity of CO2 adsorbed at saturation point. The estimated

value of isosteric heat of adsorption (Qst) for CO2 gas was found to be 37.3 kJ/mol for 1 at lower coverage (Figure S11). The continuous decrement in isosteric heat of adsorption value (Qst) also reveals the dependency of Qst as a function of CO2 loading, this can be explained by considering the blocking of the unsaturated Co(II) centers by incoming CO2 molecules leading to consequent reduction in Qst values on higher loading.

Figure 6. CO2 adsorption isotherms of MOFs 1-3 carried out at 273K. Further, the adsorption studies of 1 for other gases (H2, N2 and Ar) carried out at 273 K showed negligible uptake with 1.37 cc/g of H2; 2.88 cc/g of N2 and 4.09 cc/g of Ar, respectively (Figure 7b). Thus, MOF1 exhibits a highly selective adsorption property for CO2 over other (N2, H2 and Ar) gases which can be ascribed due to the polarizability and significant quadrupole moment of CO2 (-1.4 X 1039 cm2) leading to its stronger interaction with the unsaturated Co(II) ions decorated in the 1D channels of 1 with isosteric heat of adsorption (Qst) value of 37.3 kJ/mol. 19

Catalytic Cycloaddition of CO2 with Epoxides As discussed before, MOF1 is microporous with 1D channels decorated with octahedral Co(II) ions having two coordinated water molecules. Upon removal of the coordinated water molecules by thermal treatment under vacuum resulted dehydrated sample of 1 with the 1D channels decorated with four Lewis acidic Co(II) ions (Figure 2d).The formation of 4-coordinate tetrahedral Co(II) ions is supported by the color change from pink to dark purple after activation (Figure S12). The high thermal stability of the dehydrated sample (Figure S4) along with its Lewis acidity motivated us to investigate its catalytic properties for heterogeneous cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides to generate cyclic carbonates (Scheme 2).

Scheme 2. Cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides catalyzed by MOF1 The optimum conditions required for the cycloaddition reaction was investigated from the controlled experiments carried out at different temperatures and loadings of TBAB (Tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide). Controlled experiments revealed that temperature of 80oC with catalyst:TBAB loading (0.5:0.5 mol%) and CO2 pressure of 0.8 MPa are optimum conditions for >95% conversion of the styrene oxide to the corresponding cyclic carbonate in 12h (Table 2). It was observed that both catalyst (1) and TBAB are essential for the catalytic reaction (Table 2).92-95 Further, we were interested to test the catalytic reaction at milder conditions i.e. 1 atm of CO2 pressure. Therefore, controlled experiments carried out at 1 atm pressure, temperature of 100°C with time period of 15h resulted similar catalytic conversions observed at 0.8 MPa of CO2 (Table 2, entries 12-15). Furthermore, the progress of the catalytic reactions were easily monitored by recording the 1H NMR spectra of the aliquots taken at regular intervals of time with reference to an internal standard (1,1',2,2'tetrachloroethane). Remarkably, no additional byproducts were observed in the catalytic reaction and the cyclic carbonates were formed with 100% selectivity (Figure S13-S14). The mechanism of cycloaddition reaction of CO2 with the epoxides catalyzed by MOFs generally require binary catalytic system with Lewis acid catalytic site (Co2+ ions in MOF1) and the nucleophilic co-catalyst (TBAB)

Having confirmed the catalytic activity of MOF1, the scope of the reaction was extended to other epoxides having larger chain length. The results show that the catalytic activity decreases with increase in the alkyl chain length of epoxide (Table 3 entries 1 - 4) which can be attributed due to the electronic and steric effects. The reduced catalytic activity can be attributed due to the confinement of the pore size of 1, resulting in restricted diffusion of the bigger substrates into the pore and the observed catalytic activity could be mostly due to surface catalysis by Co(II) ions exposed to the surface of the MOF. Interestingly, the lower catalytic conversion of the epoxides, (Entry 3 and 4, Table 3) can be correlated well to their larger size (8.198 X 3.39 and 13.321 X 3.39 Å2) respectively, compared to the pore size (~8.11 X 5.31 Å2) of the MOF (Table S7). Thus the high efficiency and size-dependent selectivity observed for smaller epoxides suggest the utility of MOF1 as a promising heterogeneous catalyst for cycloaddition of carbon dioxide. Furthermore, the catalyst can be easily separated by simple filtration and washed with diethyl ether followed by methanol/water and reused for four consecutive cycles without significant loss in catalytic activity (Figure 8). PXRD patterns of the recycled catalyst after four catalytic cycles matches well with the parent compound suggesting retention of the original framework structure (Figure S4). The reaction conditions followed here are relatively milder as compared to previous reports of MOFs which use either higher pressure/temperature or high loading of co-catalyst. Hence, MOF1 represent a rare example of interpenetrated MOF exhibiting selective capture and conversion of CO2 at mild conditions.

Figure 8. Recycling test of MOF1 4. CONCLUSIONS Herein, we report synthesis of a series of three new Co(II) metal-organic frameworks using mixed ligand systems and characterized them structurally. MOF1 exhibits an interesting 3-fold interpenetrated 3D pillar-layered framework structure with 4-c, {66} topology. While 2 and 3 possess 2-fold interpenetrated 3D pillar-layered framework structure with 7-c, {3^3.4^13.5^4.6} net topology. Owing to the generation of Lewis acidic Co(II) ions in the 1D pore channels, the activated sample of 1 exhibits selective adsorption of CO2 over other (H2, N2 and Ar) gases and act as efficient recyclable catalyst for heterogeneous cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides resulting cyclic carbonates with high yield and selectivity even at 1 atm pressure of CO2. The catalyst can be facilely separated and reused

For table of contents use only Interpenetrated Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) of Cobalt (II): Structural Diversity, Selective Capture and Conversion of CO2 Bharat Ugale, Sandeep Singh Dhankhar and C. M. Nagaraja*

Three new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of Co(II) [{Co(muco)(bpa)(2H2O)}.2H2O]n (1), [{Co(muco)(azopy)}.H2O]n (2) and [{Co(muco)(4bpdp)}.2DMF.H2O]n (3) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. MOF1 exhibits an interesting 3-fold interpenetrated 3D pillar-layered framework structure with 4-c, {66} topology. While 2 and 3 possess 2-fold interpenetrated 3D pillarlayered framework structure with 7-c, {3^3.4^13.5^4.6} net topology. Interestingly, the activated framework of MOF1 shows selective adsorption of CO2 and acts as an efficient recyclable catalyst for heterogeneous cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with epoxides to generate cyclic carbonates with high yield and selectivity even at mild conditions (1 atm of CO2). Thus, the influence of N, N'-donor spacers on the structure, topology and the functionality of MOFs has been presented.
