Two alkaline earth metal based carboxylate framework systems, [Mg(HL)(H2O)2]n (1) and [Ca(H2L)2]n (2) (H3L = chelidamic acid) have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized. Both compound 1 and its dehydrated species heterogeneously catalyze Claisen–Schmidt reaction.

We successfully synthesized two new metal coordination polymers [Cd3(bdc)3(L)3(H2O)3]n (1) and [Co(tda)(L)]n (2) (H2bdc = 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, H2tda = 2,5-thiophendicarboxylic acid, and L = 3,5-bis(benzimidazol-1-yl)pyridine), which were then characterized by IR, and elemental, X-ray powder diffraction, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. Complex 1 possesses a uninodal three-connected hcb Shubnikov hexagonal plane net with {63} topology. Complex 2 features a three-connected topological net with {82·10} topology (so-called ‘tongue-and-groove’ structure). A typical T-shaped molecular bilayer motif, which has rarely been reported previously, was successfully constructed by strategically selecting H2tda as the second ligand. In addition, the solid-state photoluminescent spectra of 1 and 2 were measured at room temperature.

Two Lead based organic frameworks (1 & 2) have been synthesized using 4,6-dihydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine (H2DMP) as organic linker. Lead nitrate (1) and Lead acetate (2) salts were used to investigate their influence on morphology of resulting MOFs, adsorption capacities and luminescence behaviour. Structure and morphology of these MOFs was established on the basis of UV/Vis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), 1H NMR, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction technique. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) studies revealed better N2 adsorption capacity for 1 (surface area 814 m2/g) when compared with 2 (surface area 196 m2/g). Photoluminescence behaviour of (1 & 2) was investigated in solid state at room temperature and has been attributed to metal-centred s®p transition.

Reactions between triazatruxene-based tricarboxylate ligands, H3tat-R, and zinc nitrate under solvothermal conditions afforded new metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with the general formula [Zn3(tat-R)2(H2O)2], MUF-tat-R (R=a hydrocarbon substituent on the triazatruxene nitrogen atoms). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that these frameworks are 3D networks with a (10,3)-a topology. Linear trinuclear zinc clusters are connected to tat ligands to form chiral channels that accommodate the substituents on the tat ligands. MUF-tat and MUF-tat-benzyl crystallize in a cubic crystal system whereas MUF-tat-butyl and MUF-tat-hexyl are tetragonal. MUF-tat-benzyl retains its porosity on activation, which was confirmed by gas adsorption studies.

Virtual screenings can accelerate and reduce the cost of discovering metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for their applications in gas storage, separation, and sensing. In molecular simulations of gas adsorption/diffusion in MOFs, the adsorbate-MOF electrostatic interaction is typically modeled by placing partial point charges on the atoms of the MOF. For the virtual screening of large libraries of MOFs, it is critical to develop computationally inexpensive methods to assign atomic partial charges to MOFs that accurately reproduce the electrostatic potential in their pores. Herein, we design and train a message passing neural network (MPNN) to predict the atomic partial charges on MOFs under a charge neutral constraint. A set of ca. 2,250 MOFs labeled with high-fidelity partial charges, derived from periodic electronic structure calculations, serves as training examples. In an end-to-end manner, from charge-labeled crystal graphs representing MOFs, our MPNN machine-learns features of the local bonding environments of the atoms and learns to predict partial atomic charges from these features. Our trained MPNN assigns high-fidelity partial point charges to MOFs with orders of magnitude lower computational cost than electronic structure calculations. To enhance the accuracy of virtual screenings of large libraries of MOFs for their adsorption-based applications, we make our trained MPNN model and MPNN-charge-assigned computation-ready, experimental MOF structures publicly available.<br>

AbstractA new Cu(II) metal-organic framework, [Cu(L)(OBA)·H2O]n (1) [H2OBA = 4,4′-oxybis(benzoic acid), L = 3,5-di(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)pyridine] was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized through IR spectroscopy, elemental and thermal analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is a four-connected uni-nodal 2D net with a (44·62) topology which shows an emission centered at λ ∼393 nm upon excitation at λ = 245 nm. Moreover, complex 1 possesses high photocatalytic activities for the decomposition of Rhodamine B (RhB) under UV light irradiation.
