For the first time an azo functionality was covalently introduced into a MOF by post-synthetic modification. The reaction of Cr-MIL-101-NH2 with p-phenylazobenzoylchloride (1) and 4-(phenylazo)phenylisocyanate (2) as the reactants led to the compounds Cr-MIL-101_amide and Cr-MIL-101_urea, with the azo groups protruding into the mesoporous cages. XRPD and N2 sorption measurements confirm the intactness of the framework and the successful covalent modification was proven by IR- and NMR-spectroscopy. Furthermore, cis/trans isomerisation upon irradiation with light was demonstrated by UV/Vis spectroscopy. More distinct changes in the UV/Vis spectra were observed for Cr-MIL-101_amide compared to Cr-MIL-101_urea, while the degree of functionalization, i.e. the number of reacted NH2-groups, seems to have a less pronounced effect. The variation of the sorption properties due to the cis/trans isomerisation was proven by methane adsorption measurements.
这是首次通过合成后修饰将偶氮官能团共价引入 MOF。Cr-MIL-101-NH2 与对苯基偶氮
苯甲酰氯 (1) 和 4-(苯基偶氮)苯基
异氰酸酯 (2) 反应,生成了 Cr-MIL-101_amide 和 Cr-MIL-101_urea,偶氮基团突出到介孔笼中。XRPD 和 N2 吸附测量证实了框架的完整性,红外光谱和核磁共振光谱也证明了共价修饰的成功。此外,紫外/可见光谱也证明了光照射时顺式/反式异构化。与 Cr-MIL-101_
脲相比,Cr-MIL-101_酰胺的紫外/可见光谱变化更为明显,而官能化程度(即反应的 NH2 基团数量)的影响似乎不那么明显。
