RESUMO
Herein we report that the reaction of the low-valent aluminum(I) species [Cp*Al]4 (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with CO2 exhibits complete cleavages of the CâO bonds. The deoxygenating reduction reaction of [Cp*Al]4 with CO2 at 120 °C afforded [(Cp*)3Al3O2C(CO)]2 (1), which featured two stacked (Al3O2C)2 units and two CâCâO ketene moieties. Moreover, the isoelectronic analogues of diimine and isothiocyanate with CO2 were also investigated, and the reactions of [Cp*Al]4 with Dipp*-NâCâN-Dipp* and Dipp-CâNâS [Dipp* = 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-tert-butylphenyl; Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl] afforded dialuminylimine (2) and tetrameric [Cp*AlS]4 (3), respectively.
RESUMO
A new non-interpenetrated three-dimensional (3D) pillared-layered TPP-based LMOF [Zn3(TPyTPP)0.5(BDC)3]·8DMF (denoted as Zn-MOF 1) was successfully prepared (TPyTPP = tetrakis(4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl)pyrazine and H2BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid). Zn-MOF 1 was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, PXRD, IR, N2 adsorption, thermogravimetric analysis, and luminescent spectrum. Impressively, luminescent sensing studies reveal that activated Zn-MOF 1 not only displays excellent luminescence-quenching efficiency with the values of high Ksv and low LODs toward 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA), respectively, but also possesses outstanding sensing characteristics in terms of fast response, high sensitivity, and specific selectivity. Zn-MOF 1 performs as efficient sensing of carcinoid biomarkers to provide a fresh detection platform for the diagnosis of carcinoids. In addition, the sensing mechanism was also explored on the basis of ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption, DFT calculations, and structural analysis.
