通过合成后配体交换合成三唑和四唑功能化Zr基金属有机骨架
June 23rd, 2023
合成后配体交换（PSE）是一种多功能且功能强大的工具，用于将官能团安装到金属有机框架（MOF）中。将MOF暴露于含有三唑和四唑官能化配体的溶液中，可以通过PSE工艺将这些杂环部分掺入Zr-MOF中。
我们的主要研究课题是通过各种技术将具有有趣官能团的多孔金属有机框架MOFs功能化。本研究的重点是MOF中的杂轮安装。PSE，合成后配体交换是这项工作的主要技术。
在整个固溶体交换过程中，具有目标官能团的配体可以安装在预合成的MOFS中。特别是， 一些不稳定的配体和具有配位基团的配体可以通过PSE技术有效地掺入MOFs中.三唑和四唑官能团都具有多个配位氮槽。
因此，金属羧酸盐与金属三唑酸盐或四唑酸盐之间存在协调竞争。在PSE过程中，靶配体的掺入比例很容易控制，并且通过这种方法可以在单个MOF中安装多个靶标。

Executive Industry Relevance
Post-synthetic ligand exchange (PSE) enables rapid functionalization of Zr-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with triazole and tetrazole groups, supporting modular design of advanced materials for pharmaceutical R&D. This approach allows precise control over ligand incorporation, facilitating the creation of MOFs with tailored chemical properties for screening and analytical workflows. The ability to introduce thermally unstable or sensitive ligands at room temperature expands the toolkit for developing next-generation materials relevant to drug discovery and analytical sciences.
