ABSTRACT

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gathered significant interest due to their tunable porosity leading to diverse potential applications. In this study, we investigate the incorporation of the fluorosolvatochromic dye 2-butyl-5,6-dimethoxyisoindoline-1,3-dione ([double bond, length as m-dash]Phth) into various MOF structures as a means to assess the polarity of these porous materials. As a purely inorganic compound, zeolite Y was tested for comparison. The fluorosolvatochromic behavior of Phth, which manifests as changes in its emission spectra in response to solvent polarity, provides a sensitive probe for characterizing the local environment within the MOF pores. Through systematic variation of the MOF frameworks, we demonstrate the feasibility of using (fluoro-)solvatochromic dyes as probes for assessing the polarity gradients within MOF structures. Additionally, the fluorosolvatochromic response was studied as a function of loading amount. Our findings not only offer insights into the interplay between MOF architecture and guest molecule interactions but also present a promising approach for the rational design and classification of porous materials based on their polarity properties.

ABSTRACT

Oxyfluorides come in many different structures and are highly adaptable in composition, not least because of their mixed-anionic nature. Slight changes, unless specifically looked for, can easily go unnoticed. In this paper, we present two oxyfluorides, K3Mo2O5.6F3.4 and K3V2O3.3F5.7, synthesized under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions, and demonstrate the importance of careful analysis of composition, oxidation state and O/F anion distribution for an accurate description of oxyfluorides. Their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and the transition metal cation valences analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The O/F anion ratio was calculated using the principle of charge neutrality and the local distribution within the crystallographic framework was studied using bond valence (BV) and charge distribution (CHARDI) calculations. Madelung Part of Lattice Energy (MAPLE) calculations and magnetic measurements provide insight into phase stability and corroborate the mixed-valent nature of the compounds.
