Linker Contribution toward Stability of Metal–Organic Frameworks under Ionizing Radiation

Here, the effects of radiation on a series of UiO derivative metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) that contain the same zirconium hexamer node and similar organic linkers, UiO-66, UiO-66–NH 2 , UiO-66–OH, and NU-403, were examined using γ-rays and 5 MeV He ions. UiO-66, UiO-66–NH2, and UiO-66–OH contain aromatic linkers and are significantly more stable to radiation than NU-403. Of these, UiO-66 is the most radiation resistant, displaying crystalline features up to 47 MGy of He-ion irradiation. MOFs containing aromatic linkers functionalized by electron-donating groups, UiO-66–NH 2 and UiO-66–OH, retained crystalline features up to 19 MGy. NU-403 contains aliphatic rings and is the least radiation-resistant MOF studied here. NU-403 exhibits small changes in infrared spectra upon 3 MGy of γ-irradiation and significant damage upon 10 MGy of He-ion irradiation. Diffraction data revealed radiation-induced defect formation. Structural locations of radiation-induced breakdown were interrogated experimentally and via density functional theory. The results indicated changes in the carboxylate (-OCO) of the linker and μ 3 -OH vibrational modes, suggesting that introduction of an aliphatic linker into the MOF renders the connection between the linker and metal node most susceptible to radiation damage. This study reveals that the choice of the linker is crucial in designing a radiation-resistant MOF.

Plutonium Redox Transformation in the Presence of Iron, Organic Matter, and Hydroxyl Radicals: Kinetics and Mechanistic Insights

Plutonium (Pu) redox and complexation processes in the presence of natural organic matter and associated iron can impact the fate and transport of Pu in the environment. In this work, we studied the fate of Pu(IV) in the presence of humic acid (HA) and Fe(II) upon reaction with H 2 O 2 that may be generated by photochemical and other reactions. A portion of Pu(IV) was oxidized to Pu(V/VI), which is primarily ascribed to the generation of reactive intermediates from the oxidation of Fe(II) and Fe(II)–HA complexes by H 2 O 2 . The kinetics of Pu(IV) oxidation is pH-dependent and can be described by a model that incorporates Pu redox kinetics with published HA-modified Fenton reaction kinetics. At pH 3.5, the presence of HA slowed Pu(IV) oxidation, while at pH 6, HA accelerated Pu(IV) oxidation in the first several hours followed by a reverse process where the oxidized Pu(V/VI) was reduced back to Pu(IV). Analysis of Pu-associated particle size suggests that Pu oxidation state is a major driver in its complexation with HA and formation of colloids and heteroaggregates. Our results revealed the H 2 O 2 -driven oxidation of Pu(IV)–HA–Fe(II) colloids with implications to the transient mobilization of Pu(V/VI) in organic-rich redox transition zones.

Sources and Composition of Organic Aerosols in the Central Arctic during Spring and Summer

Organic aerosols (OA) are a major component of Arctic aerosol mass and influence the region’s radiation budget, yet their sources and physicochemical properties remain largely unknown. We investigate OA sources and climate-relevant characteristics over the central Arctic Ocean in spring and summer, by applying positive matrix factorization to aerosol mass spectrometry data from two ship-based expeditions (2018 and 2020), complemented by total and interstitial aerosol measurements during fog periods. Six distinct OA factors were identified: haze-related OA, Arctic oxygenated OA, two mixed-OA types resembling biomass burning and primary marine OA linked to warm-air intrusions, marine OA, and hydrocarbon-related OA. Seasonal transitions strongly shaped OA composition. Following polar sunrise, highly oxygenated OA, likely formed secondarily from photo-oxidized volatile organic compounds, became dominant. After the polar vortex collapsed in May, episodic spikes in marine OA from the marginal ice zone appeared, alongside a reduced influence from Eurasian anthropogenic sources. These transitions influenced OA oxidation state and related properties including volatility, acidity, and hygroscopicity, highlighting the role of the Arctic spring atmosphere as an active photochemical reactor. Overall, OA was highly oxidized, with particles activated in fog during summer showing even greater oxidation, suggesting that central Arctic OA can be highly cloud active.

Optimizing Cryo-Focused Pyrolysis GC/MS for Tracing Soil Organic Matter Across Diverse Ecosystems

The cycling of organic matter in terrestrial soils and sediments is central to a range of biogeochemical processes that regulate nutrient cycling, crop productivity, trace gas emissions, and contaminant transport. Pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (py-GC/MS) is a powerful tool for characterizing bulk soil organic matter (SOM) at the molecular level. In this study, we used a cryo-focused py-GC/MS system to analyze soil samples from seven diverse ecosystems: vernal pool, prairie pothole, temperate forest, tropical forest, tundra, wildfire-affected boreal forest, and grassland. We addressed a key bottleneck in molecular-level SOM characterization by developing an automated data analysis pipeline to optimize py-GC/MS and complementary evolved gas analysis/mass spectrometry (EGA/MS) methods, incorporating advanced tools for peak deconvolution, developing a custom compound class library, and implementing fragmentation spectrum-based molecular networking for the first time. This improved workflow was applied to soil samples from all seven ecosystems, including multiple depths and density fractions. Our findings demonstrate that ecosystem type plays a dominant role in shaping compositional differences in SOM. We also identified trends in the source of SOM compounds (e.g., microbial vs plantderived) across soil depth and density fractions, which are critical for understanding persistence and turnover of SOM. Our molecular networking analysis indicated that although many compounds are widespread across ecosystems, others are restricted to specific environments, such as wetlands. This underscores the utility of molecular-level data in elucidating the complexity of SOM composition and the environmental drivers that shape it. Such molecular-level insights can deepen our knowledge of biogeochemical SOM cycles.

Liquefying Lignins: Determining Phase-Transition Temperatures in the Presence of Aqueous Organic Solvents

Under appropriate conditions of temperature and solvent composition, single-phase aqueous organic solvents are capable of liquefying lignin to form a lignin-rich liquid phase separate from the solvent phase, creating liquid–liquid equilibrium. The extent to which this phenomenon occurs when Kraft lignin is combined with the solvents methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and acetone was determined, with solid–liquid (SL) to liquid–liquid (LL) phase-transition temperatures being measured over the range of applicable organic–water compositions. Lignins tested from a variety of biomass sources were all discovered to form this liquid–liquid equilibrium with aqueous ethanol solutions. Furthermore, the formation of such phase behavior between lignin and economical, green solvents creates new opportunities for the large-scale purification and fractionation of raw bulk (i.e., technical) lignins.

Fast and Accurate Machine Learning Strategy for Calculating Partial Atomic Charges in Metal–Organic Frameworks

Computational high-throughput screening using molecular simulations is a powerful tool for identifying top-performing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas storage and separation applications. Accurate partial atomic charges are often required to model the electrostatic interactions between the MOF and the adsorbate, especially when the adsorption involves molecules with dipole or quadrupole moments such as water and CO 2 . Although ab initio methods can be used to calculate accurate partial atomic charges, these methods are impractical for screening large material databases because of the high computational cost. We developed a random forest machine learning model to predict the partial atomic charges in MOFs using a small yet meaningful set of features that represent both the elemental properties and the local environment of each atom. The model was trained and tested on a collection of about 320 000 density-derived electrostatic and chemical (DDEC) atomic charges calculated on a subset of the Computation-Ready Experimental Metal–Organic Framework (CoRE MOF-2019) database and separately on charge model 5 (CM5) charges. The model predicts accurate atomic charges for MOFs at a fraction of the computational cost of periodic density functional theory (DFT) and is found to be transferable to other porous molecular crystals and zeolites. In conclusion, a strong correlation is observed between the partial atomic charge and the average electronegativity difference between the central atom and its bonded neighbors.

Photogenerated Charge Separation in a CdSe Nanocluster Encapsulated in a Metal–Organic Framework for Improved Photocatalysis

Nanoclusters encapsulated in a metal–organic framework (MOF) are the subject of intense interest because of their high promise for photocatalysis. We show computationally that a CdSe nanocluster incorporated into NU-1000 (Cd 6 Se 6 @NU-1000) allows electron transfer from a visible-light photo-excited organic linker to the lowest unoccupied crystal orbital of the inorganic cluster, which can lead to charge separation. Substituents on the linker can be used to tune the band position and the band gap of the whole composite (Cd 6 Se 6 @NU-1000), and this makes it possible to perform the water splitting reaction under visible light. Here, the achievement of charge separation within the MOF leads to longer life of the excited states, and as a result, it can enhance the photocatalytic activity of the system.

Mg(BH 4 ) 2 -Based Hybrid Metal–Organic Borohydride System Exhibiting Enhanced Chemical Stability in Melt

The formation of a chemically stable and thermally cyclable Mg(BH 4 ) 2 melt is proven to be possible through the utilization of an organic borohydride salt additive. While extensive exploration of additives for lowering the melting point and modifying the chemical stability of Mg(BH 4 ) 2 has been reported, this is the first study to use the organic borohydride salt, tetramethylammonium borohydride (TMAB), to modify the melting behavior of Mg(BH 4 ) 2 . Here, examination of a 5:1 molar mixture of Mg(BH 4 ) 2 and TMAB revealed a reversible melt between 180 and 195 °C, which was reproduced for five thermal cycles. The mixture melt exhibited an enhanced chemical stability compared to melts of the individual Mg(BH 4 ) 2 and TMAB species. It was observed that between room temperature and 250 °C (over 50 °C above the melting point), the mixture releases <0.1 wt % mass, consisting primarily of H 2 . The mixture also exhibits greatly reduced evolution of volatile boron containing compounds compared to either Mg(BH 4 ) 2 or TMAB. The use of TMAB to chemically stabilize a Mg(BH 4 ) 2 -rich melt demonstrated in this work represents an exciting pathway to modification of Mg(BH 4 ) 2 relevant to both hydrogen-storage and magnesium battery fields.

Antibody Targeted Metal–Organic Frameworks for Bioimaging Applications

Here, we report on the availability and chemical utility of primary amines within metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for cell targeting. Primary amine groups represent one of the most versatile chemical moieties for conjugation to biologically relevant molecules, including antibodies and enzymes. Specifically, we used two different chemical conjugations schemes, utilizing the amino functionality on the organic linker: first, carbodiimide chemistry was used to link the primary amine to available carboxyl groups on the protein neutravidin; second, sulfhydryl cross-linking chemistry was used via Traut’s reagent scheme. Importantly, this is the first report that documents this methodology implemented with MOF systems. Finally, the ability of the EpCAM antibody targeted MOFs to bind to a human epithelial cell line (A549), a common target for imaging studies, was confirmed with confocal microscopy.

Influence of the Anionic Zinc-Adeninate Metal–Organic Framework Structure on the Luminescent Detection of Rare Earth Ions in Aqueous Streams

Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical to numerous technologies; however, a combination of increasing demand, environmental concerns, and monopolistic marketplace conditions has spurred interest in boosting the domestic REE production from sources such as coal utilization byproducts. The economic viability of this approach requires rapid, inexpensive, and sensitive analytical techniques capable of characterizing the REE content during resource exploration and downstream REE processing (e.g., analyzing REE separation, concentration, and purification production steps). Luminescence-based sensors are attractive because many REEs may be sensitized to produce element-specific emission. Hence, a single material may simultaneously detect and distinguish multiple REEs. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) can sensitize multiple REEs, but their viability has been hindered by sensitivity and selectivity challenges. Understanding how the MOF structure impacts the REE sensing efficacy is critical to the rational design of new sensors. Here, we evaluate the sensing performance of seven different anionic zinc-adeninate MOFs with different organic linkers and/or structures for the visible-emitting REEs Tb, Dy, Sm, and Eu. The choice of a linker determines which REEs are sensitized and significantly influences their sensitivity and selectivity against competing species (here, Fe(II) and HCl). For a given linker, structural changes to the MOF can further fine-tune the performance. The MOFs produce some of the lowest detection limits (sub-10 ppb for Tb) reported for the aqueous sensitization-based REE detection. Importantly, the most selective MOFs demonstrated the ability to sensitize the REE signal at sub-ppm levels in a REE-spiked acid mine drainage matrix, highlighting their potential for use in real-world sensing applications.

Characterization of the Interfacial Orientation and Molecular Conformation in a Glass-Forming Organic Semiconductor

The ability to control structure in molecular glasses has enabled them to play a key role in modern technology; in particular, they are ubiquitous in organic light-emitting diodes. While the interplay between bulk structure and optoelectronic properties has been extensively investigated, few studies have examined molecular orientation near buried interfaces despite its critical role in emergent functionality. Direct, quantitative measurements of buried molecular orientation are inherently challenging, and many methods are insensitive to orientation in amorphous soft matter or lack the necessary spatial resolution. To overcome these challenges, we use polarized resonant soft X-ray reflectivity (pRSoXR) to measure nanometer-resolved, molecular orientation depth profiles of vapor-deposited thin films of an organic semiconductor Tris(4-carbazoyl-9-ylphenyl)amine (TCTA). Our depth profiling approach characterizes the vertical distribution of molecular orientation and reveals that molecules near the inorganic substrate and free surface have a different, nearly isotropic orientation compared to those of the anisotropic bulk. Comparison of pRSoXR results with near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and optical spectroscopies reveals that TCTA molecules away from the interfaces are predominantly planar, which may contribute to their attractive charge transport qualities. Buried interfaces are further investigated in a TCTA bilayer (each layer deposited under separate conditions resulting in different orientations) in which we find a narrow interface between orientationally distinct layers extending across ≈1 nm. Coupling this result with molecular dynamics simulations provides additional insight into the formation of interfacial structure. This study characterizes the local molecular orientation at various types of buried interfaces in vapor-deposited glasses and provides a foundation for future studies to develop critical structure–function relationships.

Trends in Siting of Metals in Heterometallic Nd–Yb Metal–Organic Frameworks and Molecular Crystals

Several studies suggest that metal ordering within metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is important for understanding how MOFs behave in relevant applications; however, these siting trends can be difficult to determine experimentally. To garner insight into the energetic driving forces that may lead to nonrandom ordering within heterometallic MOFs, we employ density functional theory (DFT) calculations on several bimetallic metal–organic crystals composed of Nd and Yb metal atoms. We also investigate the metal siting trends for a newly synthesized MOF. Our DFT-based energy of mixing results suggest that Nd will likely occupy sites with greater access to electronegative atoms and that local homometallic domains within a mixed-metal Nd–Yb system are favored. We also explore the use of less computationally extensive methods such as classical force fields and cluster expansion models to understand their feasibility for large system sizes. Here, this study highlights the impact of metal ordering on the energetic stability of heterometallic MOFs and crystal structures.

Linkage Transformations in a Three-Dimensional Covalent Organic Framework for High-Capacity Adsorption of Perfluoroalkyl Substances

Despite their many advantages, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) built from three-dimensional monomers are synthetically difficult to functionalize. Herein, we provide a new synthetic approach to the functionalization of a three-dimensional covalent organic framework (COF-300) by using a series of solid-state linkage transformations. By reducing the imine linkages of the framework to amine linkages, we produced a more hydrolytically stable material and liberated a nucleophilic amino group, poised for further functionalization. We then treated the amine-linked COF with diverse electrophiles to generate a library of functionalized materials, which we tested for their ability to adsorb perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. The framework functionalized with dimethylammonium groups, COF-300-dimethyl, adsorbed more than 250 mg of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) per 1 g of COF, which represents an approximately 14,500-fold improvement over that of COF-300 and underscores the importance of electrostatic interactions to PFAS adsorption performance. In conclusion, this work provides a conceptually new approach to the design and synthesis of functional three-dimensional COFs.

Vapor Phase Infiltration of Titanium Oxide into P3HT to Create Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Photocatalysts

Herein, we report for the first time the use of vapor phase infiltration (VPI) to infuse conducting polymers with inorganic metal oxide clusters that together form a photocatalytic material. While vapor infiltration has previously been used to electrically dope conjugated polymers, this is the first time, to our knowledge, that the resultant hybrid material has been demonstrated to have photocatalytic properties. The system studied is poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) vapor infiltrated with TiCl 4 and H 2 O to create P3HT-TiO x organic–inorganic hybrid photocatalytic materials. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis shows that P3HT-TiO x VPI films consist of a partially oxidized P3HT matrix, and the infiltrated titanium inorganic is in a 4+ oxidation state with mostly oxide coordination. Upon visible light illumination, these P3HT-TiO x hybrids degrade methylene blue dye molecules. The P3HT-TiO x hybrids are 4.6× more photocatalytically active than either the P3HT or TiO 2 individually or when sequentially deposited (e.g., P3HT on TiO 2 ). On a per surface area basis, these hybrid photocatalysts are comparable or better than other best in class polymer semiconductor photocatalysts. VPI of TiCl 4 + H 2 O into P3HT makes a unique hybrid structure and idealized photocatalyst architecture by creating nanoscale TiO x clusters concentrated toward the surface achieving extremely high catalytic rates. The mechanism for this enhanced photocatalytic rate is understood using photoluminescence spectroscopy, which shows significant quenching of excitons in P3HT-TiO x as compared to neat P3HT, indicating that P3HT acts as a photosensitizer for the TiO x catalyst sites in the hybrid material. This work introduces a new approach to designing and synthesizing organic–inorganic hybrid photocatalytic materials, with expansive opportunities for further exploration and optimization.

Local Coordination Environment of Lanthanides Adsorbed onto Cr- and Zr-based Metal–Organic Frameworks

Separating individual lanthanide (Ln) elements in aqueous mixtures is challenging. Ion-selective capture by porous materials, such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), is a promising approach. To design ion-selective MOFs, molecular details of the Ln adsorption complexes within the MOFs must be understood. We determine the local coordination environment of lanthanides Nd(III), Gd(III), and Lu(III) adsorbed onto Cr(III)-based terephthalate MOF (Cr-MIL-101) and Zr(IV)-based Universitet in Oslo MOFs (UiO-66 and UiO-68) and their derivatives. In the Cr(III)- and Zr(IV)-based MOFs, Ln adsorb as inner-sphere complexes at the metal oxo clusters, regardless of whether the organic linkers are decorated with amino groups. Missing linkers result in favorable Ln binding sites at oxo clusters; however, Ln can coordinate to metal sites even with linkers in place. Further, MOF functionalization with phosphonate groups led to Ln chemisorption onto these groups, which out-compete metal cluster sites. Ln form monodentate and bidentate and mononuclear and binuclear surface complexes. We conclude that MOFs for ion-selective Ln capture can be designed by a combination of (1) maximizing metal-lanthanide interactions via shared O atoms at the metal oxo cluster sites, where mixed oxo clusters can lead to ion-selective Ln adsorption, and (2) functionalizing MOFs with Ln-selective groups capable of out-completing the metal oxo cluster sites.

Water-Soluble 3D Covalent Organic Framework that Displays an Enhanced Enrichment Effect of Photosensitizers and Catalysts for the Reduction of Protons to H 2

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are emerging porous polymers that have 2D or 3D long-range ordering. Currently available COFs are typically insoluble or decompose upon dissolution, which remarkably restricts their practical implementations. For 3D COFs, the achievement of noninterpenetration, which maximizes their porosity-derived applications, also remains a challenge synthetically. Here, we report the synthesis of the first highly water-soluble 3D COF (sCOF-101) from irreversible polymerization of a preorganized supramolecular organic framework through cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8])-controlled [2 + 2] photodimerization. Synchrotron X-ray scattering and diffraction analyses confirm that sCOF-101 exhibits porosity periodicity, with a channel diameter of 2.3 nm, in both water and the solid state and retains the periodicity under both strongly acidic and basic conditions. As an ordered 3D polymer, sCOF-101 can enrich [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ photosensitizers and redox-active polyoxometalates in water, which leads to remarkable increase of their photocatalytic activity for proton reduction to produce H2.

Solvent-Treated Zirconium-Based Nanoporous UiO-66 Metal–Organic Frameworks for Enhanced CO 2 Capture

Metal–organic framework (MOF)-derived nanoscale porous materials are widely deployed in carbon capture, but the CO 2 capacity is varied by different post-treatments, and its mechanism is still unclear. In this work, we prepared UiO-66 and treated it with methanol solvent and thermal activation approaches, which showed ~3 times enhanced CO 2 capacities from 15.1 to 45.0 mg/g and excellent recyclability of 10 cycles. The methanol treatment efficiently removes the residual guest molecules, including N,N-dimethylformamide, dangling organic linkers, and their derivatives, in the micropores (~0.8 nm) of UiO-66 and improves the surface area, pore volume, and void fraction to enhance the CO 2 capacity close to the ideal UiO-66 materials. The molecular dynamics simulation also proved a good linear relationship between the surface areas, void fraction, and CO 2 capacity. This work provides a deep understanding of the MOF’s activation mechanism and its applications in CO 2 capture.

Modeling the Size Distribution and Chemical Composition of Secondary Organic Aerosols during the Reactive Uptake of Isoprene-Derived Epoxydiols under Low-Humidity Condition

Reactive uptake of isoprene epoxydiols (IEPOX), which are isoprene oxidation products, onto acidic sulfate aerosols is recognized to be an important mechanism for the formation of isoprene-derived secondary organic aerosol (SOA). While a mechanistic understanding of IEPOX-SOA formation exists, several processes affecting their formation remain uncertain. Evaluating mechanistic IEPOX-SOA models with controlled laboratory experiments under longer atmospherically relevant timescales is critical. Here, we implement our latest understanding of IEPOX-SOA formation within a box model to simulate the measured reactive uptake of IEPOX on polydisperse ammonium bisulfate seed aerosols within an environmental Teflon chamber. The model is evaluated with single-particle measurements of size distribution, volume, density, and composition of aerosols due to IEPOX-SOA formation at timescales of hours. Additionally, we find that the model can simulate the growth of particles due to IEPOX multiphase chemistry, as reflected in increases of the mean particle size and volume concentrations, and a shift of number size distribution to larger sizes. The model also predicts the observed evolution of particle number mean diameter and total volume concentrations at the end of the experiment. We show that in addition to self-limiting effects of IEPOX-SOA coatings, accounting for the molar balance between inorganic and organic sulfate and mass accommodation coefficient of IEPOX are important parameters governing modeling of IEPOX-SOA formation. Thus, models which do not account for the molar sulfate balance and/or diffusion limitations within IEPOX-SOA coatings are likely to predict too high IEPOX-SOA formation.
