RESUMEN
The design of a highly and photomodulated proton conductor is important for advanced potential applications in chemical sensors and bioionic functions. In this work, a metal-organic framework (MOF; Gd-NO2) with high proton conductivity is synthesized with a photosensitive ligand of 5-nitroisophthalic acid (BDC-NO2), and it provides remote-control photomodulated proton-conducting behavior. The proton conduction of Gd-NO2 reaches 3.66 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 98% relative humidity (RH) and 25 °C, while it decreases by â¼400 times after irradiation with a 355 nm laser. The newly generated and disappearing FT-IR characteristic peaks reveal that this photomodulated process is realized by the photoinduced transformation from BDC-NO2 to 5-nitroso-isophthalic acid (BDC-NO). According to density functional theory, the smaller electronegativity of the -NO group, the longer distance of the hydrogen bond between BDC-NO and H2O molecules, and the lower water adsorption energy of BDC-NO indicate that the irradiated sample possesses a poorer hydrophilicity and has difficulty forming rich hydrogen-bonded networks, which results in the remarkable decrease of proton conductivity.
RESUMEN
Cluster-based framework metal iodides have diverse structures and excellent luminescence properties, and show promising applications in sensing and solid-state lighting. However, the design and synthesis of these materials remain great challenges because excess I- ions introduced into the synthesis systems decrease the condensation degree of M-I units. In this work, a new strategy is developed to control the condensation behavior of Ag-I units, and a new silver-rich cluster-based framework iodide [DabcoAg8I6(SPh)2]n (1) (Dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2] octane) has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions in the presence of silver thiophenolate (AgSPh)n. Compound 1 features a three-dimensional (3-D) cluster-based framework with a pillared layer structure composed of cationic [Ag8I6]2+ clusters bridged by SPh- and Dabco, and displays low-temperature dual emission and luminescence thermochromism.
RESUMEN
Luminescent thermochromic materials with a dramatic shift of emission band under different temperatures are highly desirable in temperature sensing fields. However, the design of the synthesis of such compounds remains a great challenge. In this work, two new luminescent thermochromic silver iodides, (emIm)Ag3I4 (1) and (emIm)Ag2I3 (2) (emIm = 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazole), have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Compound 1 features a [Ag3I4]- anionic layer, while compound 2 possesses an infinite [Ag2I3]- chain structure, both of which are charge balanced by emIm+ cations. Particularly, they display luminescent thermochromism with a significant wavelength shift of emission maximum with temperature change. They represent rare examples of infinite layered or chain silver iodides that show luminescent thermochromism. Furthermore, the results indicate that compounds 1 and 2 are promising wavelength-dependent luminescent thermometers.
RESUMEN
Hydro(solvo)thermal syntheses of quaternary copper sulfides containing alkaline earth metal ions remain a great challenge because of the low solubility of Cu-S compounds. Herein, a new facile solvothermal method was developed, and four quaternary copper sulfides, i.e., BaCu3InS4 (1), BaCu3GaS4 (2), BaCu2SnS4 (3), and BaCu2GeS4 (4), were prepared using excess sulfur as a mineralizer. Compound 1 possesses a novel three-dimensional (3D) anionic [Cu3InS4]2- framework constructed by an 8-membered ring of [Cu4S4] and [Cu2In2S4] alternatively. Compound 2 features a unique 3D anionic [Cu3GaS4]2- framework composed of [Cu3GaS10]n14n- anionic chains and 8-membered rings, in which [Cu4S4] and [Cu2Ga2S4] reside alternatively. Compounds 3 and 4 feature 3D anionic [Cu2MS4]2- (M = Sn, Ge) frameworks composed of CuS4 and MS4 tetrahedra with Ba2+ located in the channels. It is worth noting that different 3D Cu-S frameworks exist in the title crystal structures, in which main group ions are incorporated. This paper provides a new synthetic strategy for new quaternary sulfides.
RESUMEN
Open-framework chalcogenides with ion-exchange capacity are promising materials for removing hazardous heavy-metal ions and for capturing radioactive Cs+. However, research on the exchange mechanism is limited, especially for the framework chalcogenides that have multiple bridging anions. Generally, open-framework chalcogenides that have multiple bridging anions at the window or wall of the channels are rigid during the ion-exchange process. We show here that microporous sulfides with µ3-S2- (where µ3 = triple bridging mode) at the windows exhibit framework flexibility upon ion exchange. Three new microporous sulfides Na4Cu8Ge3S12·2H2O (1), Na3(Hen)Cu8Sn3S12 (where en = ethylenediamine) (2) and (dap)2(Hdap)4Cu8Ge3S18 (where dap = 1,2-diaminopropane) (3) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Compounds 1 and 2 contain a copper-rich framework composed of icosahedral [Cu8S12]16- units linked via monomeric GeS44- or SnS44- tetrahedral units, whereas compound 3 features an expanded framework composed of icosahedral [Cu8S12]16- units interconnected with dimeric Ge2S64- units. These compounds exhibit unusual ion-exchange properties. Specifically, the frameworks of 1 and 2 (with µ3-S at the small windows) show "breathing action" upon ion exchange of K+ or Rb+, which have relative large sizes, and compound 3 exhibits framework flexibility upon Cs+ ion exchange with both space group and channels changed.
RESUMEN
Two new 3D hybrid framework iodides, Hmta[(Hmta)Ag4I4] (1; Hmta = hexamethylenetetramine) and [(Hmta)2Ag8I6]I2 (2), have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Compound 1 consists of a neutral 3D framework built up from alternation of the tetrahedral Ag4I4 unit and Hmta with dia-b topology. Compound 2 features a 3D cationic framework with flu topology, constructed by cationic [Ag8I6](2+) units linked with Hmta. Tetrahedral Hmta plays crucial structure-directing roles in the formation of these 3D frameworks with high symmetry. The temperature-dependent photoluminescent measurement reveals luminescent thermochromism of the compounds, the emission maximum of which shows a gradual blue shift with increasing temperature. The results indicate that 1 is a promising wavelength- and intensity-dependent luminescent thermometer applicable in two different temperature ranges.
RESUMEN
The synthesis of chiral zeolites remains a significant challenge because the primary tetrahedral building units are achiral and weak interactions exist between the guest and host frameworks. Here, we present the syntheses and characterization of three new chiral zeolitic halides, [H3(Dabco)2]Ag3X6 (X = Br (1) or I (2), Dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) and [H2(Dabco)][(Dabco)Ag4I6] (3). Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural, containing a 4-connected zeolitic framework built up from 3-ring units, with high-charge [H3(Dabco)2]3+ located in chiral cages. Compound 3 contains a similar zeolitic [Ag3I6]3- framework to that of 2, but a [Ag(Dabco)]+ unit is incorporated in each 3-ring, with [H2(Dabco)]2+ located in channels. These frameworks are chiral, representing the first examples of chiral zeolitic halides. The chirality transference of the frameworks for 1 and 2 was attributed to the template effect of the chiral [H3(Dabco)2]3+ through strong electrostatic interactions and multiple hydrogen-bond interactions. For compound 3, direct coordination interactions play important roles in the chirality transference from the chiral Dabco ligand to the framework.
RESUMEN
Three framework silver-thioantimonates, K(3)Ag(9)Sb(4)S(12)(1), Rb(3)Ag(9)Sb(4)S(12)(2), and Cs(3)Ag(9)Sb(4)S(12)(3), and one layered silver-thioarsenate, CsAg(2)AsS(3)(4), have been synthesized solvothermally in the presence of thiophenol as a mineralizer. Compounds 1, 2, and 3 are isostructural and contain infinite silver-sulfur chains [Ag(9)S(12)](15-). These chains are connected to one another by the antimony atoms to generate wide channels along the [001] direction where the alkali metal cations reside. The structure of 4 consists of helical chains [Ag(2)S(3)](4-) linked by the arsenic atoms to form layers with potassium ions between the layers.

Two copper-rich open-framework sulfides, K(4)Cu(8)Ge(3)S(12) (1) and Rb(4)Cu(8)Ge(3)S(12) (2), have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural and contain icosahedral [Cu(8)S(12)](16-) clusters as basic building blocks. These clusters are primitive cubic packed and connect to one another by discrete Ge(4+) ions to generate 3D copper-rich Cu-Ge-S framework and form 3D channels along 100 directions where the alkali metal cations reside. These two open-framework sulfides crystallize in cubic perovskite structure.
