Metal-Diamidobenzoquinone Frameworks via Post-Synthetic Linker Exchange
2020
Metal-organic frameworks with amidic linkers often exhibit exceptional physical properties, but, owing to their strong metal-nitrogen bonds, are exceedingly challenging to isolate through direct synthesis. Here, we report a route to access metal-diamidobenzoquinone frameworks from their dihydroxobenzoquinone counterparts via post-synthetic linker exchange. The parent compounds (Me2NH2)2[M2L3] (M = Zn, Mn; H2L = 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxo-1,4-benzoquinone) under-go linker exchange upon exposure to a solution of deprotonated 2,5-diamino-3,6-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone or 2,5-diamino-3,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone, proceeding through crystal-to-single-crystal reactions. The presence of both types of linker in the resulting frameworks is confirmed by a combination of NMR, Raman, and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopies. Moreover, the extent of linker exchange in the Zn frameworks is quantified using 13C NMR spectroscopy, and spatially-resolved EDX spectroscopy reveals the two types of linker to be homogen...
