Adsorbed Gas Behaviour And Guest-Host Interactions In Ultramicroporous Metal-Organic Frameworks, Bligh Desveaux Dec 2017

Adsorbed Gas Behaviour And Guest-Host Interactions In Ultramicroporous Metal-Organic Frameworks, Bligh Desveaux

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials that have attracted much attention due to their large surface areas, high tunability and their high selectivity for gas adsorption applications. In this work, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) experiments and single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) experiments are used to investigate carbon dioxide adsorption within the ultramicroporous MOFs SIFSIX-3-Zn (Chapter 2) and ZnAtzOx. (Chapter 3). Analysis finds that the CO2 SIFSIX-3-Zn undergoes wobbling motions with a low temperature dependence, and in ZnAtzOx undergoes wobbling and hopping motions with a low temperature dependence. SCXRD is used to precisely determine the CO …


Multinuclear Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Of Microporous Materials, Jun Xu Dec 2013

Multinuclear Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Of Microporous Materials, Jun Xu

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Microporous materials have attracted tremendous attention since 18th century due to their industrial importance. It is essential to understand the relationships between the properties of microporous materials and their structures. However, the structures of many microporous materials are determined from the more limited powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data due to the lack of suitable single-crystals for XRD. In such cases, an unambiguous structure solution of microporous materials requires additional information from other techniques such as solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectroscopy. This thesis is focused on the study of two types of microporous materials, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and titanosilicates, by multinuclear …
