Abstract
In this study, two novel potassium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) mediated by boric acid were synthesized via a one-pot self-assembly reaction using terephthalic acid and acetylenedicarboxylic acid as ligands in ethyl acetate. The synthesized compounds were thoroughly characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (sc-XRD). Structural analysis revealed the molecular formulas of the new compounds as C16H18B2K4O16 and C2H3BKO5, respectively. Both compounds exhibited high thermal stability. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area measurements indicated values of 2.152 m²/g for the potassium terephthalate-boron complex and 4.468 m²/g for the potassium acetylenedicarboxylate-boron complex. Variations in the ligands influenced the surface area, pore volume, and pore size of the complexes, which, in turn, affected their hydrogen storage capabilities.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
