Reactivity of a trans-dioxo complex towards carbon dioxide and its incorportation into a new Prussian blue framework
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The use of well-defined molecular building blocks as a strategy to try to design the properties of a resulting extended framework has been previously employed with success in the field of metal-organic frameworks in the attempt to obtain highly porous structures. Similarly, molecular cyanide complexes have been incorporated as building units in extended frameworks in the quest for room temperature magnets, owing to the ability of cyanide ligands to form polymeric structures. In this thesis, I describe our efforts to confirm the reactivity of a molecular cyanide complex, trans-tetracyanomolybdate, with atmospheric CO2, as well as those undertaken to characterize the extended framework obtained using this complex as a building unit. The characterization of the resulting Prussian blue analogue showed that this material undergoes a rare example of partial linkage isomerism as well as several electron transfers during its synthesis. Although the reactivity of the molecule was not translated into the framework, the material reversibly adsorbs CO2 at room temperature and can be regenerated without appreciable capacity loss. The variability of the material resulted in the variability of its gas sorption properties.
