Million-Fold Electrical Conductivity Enhancement in Fe2(DEBDC) versus Mn2(DEBDC) (E = S, O)

چکیده
Reaction of FeCl2 and H4DSBDC (2,5-disulfhydrylbenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid) leads to the formation of Fe2(DSBDC), an analogue of M2(DOBDC) (MOF-74, DOBDC(4-) = 2,5-dihydroxybenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate). The bulk electrical conductivity values of both Fe2(DSBDC) and Fe2(DOBDC) are ∼6 orders of magnitude higher than those of the Mn(2+) analogues, Mn2(DEBDC) (E = O, S). Because the metals are of the same formal oxidation state, the increase in conductivity is attributed to the loosely bound Fe(2+) β-spin electron. These results provide important insight for the rational design of conductive metal-organic frameworks, highlighting in particular the advantages of iron for synthesizing such materials.

Is iron unique in promoting electrical conductivity in MOFs?
Identifying the metal ions that optimize charge transport and charge density in metal-organic frameworks is critical for systematic improvements in the electrical conductivity in these materials. In this work, we measure the electrical conductivity and activation energy for twenty different MOFs pertaining to four distinct structural families: M2(DOBDC)(DMF)2 (M = Mg2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, ...
متن کاملMagnetic phase transition, aggregate formation, and electrical conductivity in FeC13-doped polyacetylene
Both Fe3 + and Fe2 + ions occur in FeCl3-doped polyacetylene. At low dopant levels ( < 0.01 mole frac tion) both Fe2 + and Fe3 + io'ns are paramagnetic down to 4.2 K. At dopant levels > 0.01 mole fraction, there is evidence from Mossbauer spectroscopy that Fe2+ ions associate into aggregates which are magneti cally ordered below 25 K. Aggregate formation appears to correlate with high electri...
متن کاملMillion-fold activation of the [Fe2(μ-O)2] diamond core for C-H bond cleavage
In biological systems, the cleavage of strong C-H bonds is often carried out by iron centres-such as that of methane monooxygenase in methane hydroxylation-through dioxygen activation mechanisms. High valent species with [Fe(2)(micro-O)(2)] diamond cores are thought to act as the oxidizing moieties, but the synthesis of complexes that cleave strong C-H bonds efficiently has remained a challenge...
متن کاملA physiological role of Mn2+ in the regulation of cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase from rat liver is unlikely.
A cytosolic cell-free system prepared from rat liver was used to study the effect of bivalent cations on the activity of the gluconeogenic enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK). Steady-state concentrations of oxaloacetate in the range 5-50 microM were generated from increasing concentrations of malate+fumarate (10:1); 2 mM ITP and 3 mM Mg2+ were added as cofactors. Micromolar concent...
متن کاملLipoprotein PsaA in virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae: surface accessibility and role in protection from superoxide.
PsaA of Streptococcus pneumoniae, originally believed to be an adhesin, is the lipoprotein component of an Mn2+ transporter. Mutations in psaA cause deficiencies in growth, virulence, adherence, and the oxidative stress response. Immunofluorescence microscopy shows that PsaA is hidden beneath the cell wall and the polysaccharide capsule and only exposed to antibodies upon cell wall removal. A p...
