of new metal-organic framework (MOF) platforms with distinct structural
features and tunable chemical composition has remarkably enhanced
by applying reticular chemistry rules and the molecular building block
(MBB) approach. We targeted the synthesis of new rare earth (RE)-MOF
platforms based on a rectangular-shaped 4-c linker, acting as a rigid
organic MBB. Accordingly, we designed and synthesized the organic
ligand 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)-3,6-dimethyl-benzene (H4L), in which the two methyl groups attached to
the central phenyl ring lock the four peripheral carboxyphenyl groups
to an orthogonal/vertical position. We report here a new family of
RE-MOFs featuring the novel inorganic building unit, RE4(μ3-O)2 (RE: Y3+, Tb3+, Dy3+, Ho3+, Er3+, and Yb3+), with planar D2h symmetry.
The rigid 4-c linker, H4L, directs the in
situ assembly of the unique 8-c RE4(μ3-O)2(COO)8 cluster, resulting in the formation
of the first (4, 8)-c RE-MOFs with csq topology, RE-csq-MOF-1. The structures of the yttrium (Y-csq-MOF-1) and holmium (Ho-csq-MOF-1) analogues were determined
by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Y-csq-MOF-1
was successfully activated and tested for Xe/Kr separation. The results
show that Y-csq-MOF-1 has high isosteric heat of adsorption
for Xe (33.8 kJ mol–1), with high Xe/Kr selectivity
(IAST 12.1, Henry 12.9) and good Xe uptake (1.94 mmol g–1 at 298 K and 1 bar), placing this MOF among the top-performing adsorbents
for Xe/Kr separation.
