Herein we report the synthesis of a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) by an easy “mix and wait” procedure. In a closed vial, without any interference, the mixture of 2-methylimidazole and basic zinc carbonate assembles into the crystalline product with approx. 90% conversion after 70 h. The reaction exhibits sigmoidal kinetics due to the self-generated water which accelerates the reaction.
Equipping ZIF particles with a polyelectrolyte membrane provides functional groups at their interface, enabling further conjugations necessary for applications such as targeted drug delivery. Previous approaches to coat ZIF particles with polyelectrolytes led to surface corrosion of the template material. This work overcomes previous limitations by performing a Layer-by-Layer (LbL) polyelectrolyte coating onto ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 particles in nonaqueous environment. Using the 2-methylimidazolium salt of polystyrensulfonic acid instead of the acid itself and polyethyleneimine in methanol led to intact ZIF particles after polyelectrolyte coating. This was verified by electron microscopy. Further, zetapotential and atomic force microscopy measurements confirmed a continuous polyelectrolyte multilayer built up. The here reported adaption to the well-studied (LbL) polyelectrolyte selfassembly process provides a facile method to equip ZIF particles with a nanometer thin polyelectrolyte multilayer membrane.
The successful mechanochemical syntheses of three cadmium phenylphosphonates indicates that mechanochemistry is ideally suited for synthesizing metal phosphonates. With this powerful synthesis tool it is possible to synthesize rapidly and efficiently both known and novel phosphonates. The Crystal structures of the two new compounds, and, were solved from PXRD data. They contain monodeprotonated phenylphosphonate and neutral phenylphosphonic acid ligands. The synthesis pathways of all three compounds were investigated in situ. A diffusion mechanism is corroborated by our findings.
Intermediates could be detected and identified. The kinetically favored product (3) could always be detected during the syntheses. The thermodynamic stability of the compounds and the stoichiometric ratio of the starting materials are the two directing factors for the synthesis of the final products.
An unusually fast and effective synthesis procedure for a host guest system consisting of a metal organic framework (MOF) and a polyoxometalate (POM) is described. The material was synthesised mechanochemically and the evolution of the structure was monitored ex and in situ using synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD).
