چکیده

Among the numerous applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a topical class of nanoporous materials, adsorptive separation is gaining considerable attention. Some of the most exciting candidates for gas separation processes exhibit structural transitions, such as breathing and gate opening. While predictive analytical methods are crucial in separation science and have been widely used for rigid nanoporous solids, a lack exists for materials that exhibit flexibility. We propose here a general method predicting, for the first time, the evolution of structural transitions and selectivity upon adsorption of gas mixtures in flexible nanoporous solids.

The osmotic framework adsorbed solution theory: predicting mixture coadsorption in flexible nanoporous materials.

Predictive analytical methods are crucial tools in the design of adsorptive gas separation processes. While they are widely used for rigid nanoporous solids, there is a lack of flexible materials, including the very topical and promising dynamic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which display such eye-catching phenomena as gate opening and breathing. We present here the osmotic framework adsorbe...

Thermodynamics of guest-induced structural transitions in hybrid organic-inorganic frameworks.

We provide a general thermodynamic framework for the understanding of guest-induced structural transitions in hybrid organic-inorganic materials. The method is based on the analysis of experimental adsorption isotherms. It allows the determination of the free energy differences between host structures involved in guest-induced transitions, especially hard to obtain experimentally. We discuss th...

Adsorption induced transitions in soft porous crystals: an osmotic potential approach to multistability and intermediate structures.

Soft porous crystals are flexible metal-organic frameworks that respond to physical stimuli (temperature, pressure, and gas adsorption) by large changes in their structure and unit cell volume. We propose here a thermodynamic treatment, based on the osmotic ensemble, of the interplay between guest adsorption and host deformation, where the bare host material can undergo elastic deformation, as ...

Exact matrix treatment of statistical mechanical lattice model of adsorption induced gate opening in metal-organic frameworks

Here we present a statistical mechanical lattice model which is exactly solvable using a matrix method and allows treatment of adsorption induced gate opening structural transformations of metal-organic frameworks which are nanoporous materials with exceptional adsorption properties. Modelling of these structural changes presents a serious theoretical challenge when the solid and gas species ar...

A generalized adsorption-phase transition model to describe adsorption rates in flexible metal organic framework RPM3-Zn.

Flexible gate-opening metal organic frameworks (GO-MOFs) expand or contract to minimize the overall free energy of the system upon accommodation of an adsorbate. The thermodynamics of the GO process are well described by a number of models, but the kinetics of the process are relatively unexplored. A flexible GO-MOF, RPM3-Zn, exhibits a significant induction period for opening by N2 and Ar at l...
