RESUMEN
Two amino functionalized Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), {[Zn(Py2TTz)(2-NH2-BDC)]·(DMF)}n (1) and {[Cd(Py2TTz)(2-NH2-BDC)]·(DMF)·0.5(H2O)}n (2) (where Py2TTz = 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole, 2-NH2-BDC = 2-amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, and DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), were synthesized and characterized using the primary ligand 2-amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (2-NH2-H2BDC) and the auxiliary ligand 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole (Py2TTz). They possess similar 2-fold interpenetrated three-dimensional bipillared-layer framework structures composed of typical binuclear metal nodes, 2-NH2-BDC two-dimensional layers and Py2TTz bipillars. Notably, thiazole nitrogen atoms and pendant -NH2 groups are present in channels in the two frameworks. Given their good chemical stabilities, high thermal stabilities, and exposed nitrogen sites, gas adsorption and catalytic experiments of the two MOFs were performed. The results demonstrate that MOF 2 can selectively adsorb carbon dioxide gas; moreover, the two MOFs can be employed as recyclable heterogeneous catalysts for Knoevenagel condensation reactions under solvent-free conditions.
RESUMEN
Co/Co9S8 nanoparticles encapsulated in a N, S, and O ternary-doped carbon matrix were synthesized utilizing a Co-NSOMOF as a single precursor, and they exhibited excellent bifunctional electrocatalytic activity for the OER and HER. Impressively, the water splitting cell exhibited a low cell voltage of 1.56 V at 10 mA cm-2. The high performances were attributed to the synergistic effect and the protection of multi-heteroatom doped carbon shells for active Co/Co9S8 nanoparticles.
