Dissecting the effects of water guest adsorption and framework breathing on the AlO4(OH)2 centres of metal–organic framework MIL-53 (Al) by solid state NMR and structural analysis
2021
The relationship between the adsorption of water on MIL-53 (Al) MOF, the structural phase of MIL-53 (Al), and the quadrupole coupling constant of 27Al framework aluminium atom (QCC) of the MOF AlO4(OH)2 centres (Al-sites) has been investigated by combining solid-state 27Al MAS NMR spectroscopy with XRD analysis and DFT calculations. It is established that 27Al QCC is primarily sensitive to water adsorption to the Al-sites and by a minor extent to the framework contraction/expansion interconversions. We thus conclude that the 27Al MAS NMR method is sensitive enough to differentiate the effects of pore contractions and water adsorption to Al-sites basing on the changes of the QCC value.
