Three zinc(II) metal-organic
frameworks (
xF-MAC-3) have been synthesized by using Zn(II) salts,
3,5-dimethyl-1
H-1,2,4-triazole (Hdmtrz) and different fluorination
degree carboxylate ligands, which are analogic structures and can be described
as (6,6)-connected
pcu-b net. We find that the fluorine atoms have
structural regulation effect on
xF-MAC-3, which can not only enlarge the
torsion angle 𝜑 of carboxylate ligands but
also elevate the space group of structures. Besides, the CO
2-273 K uptake increased from 23.21 cm
3·g
-1 (
MAC-3) to 36.13 cm
3·g
-1 (
4F-MAC-3) and H
2-77
K uptake increased from 24.33 cm
3·g
-1 (
MAC-3) to
59.79 cm
3·g
-1 (
4F-MAC-3), which means fluorination
can enhance the gas adsorption uptake of
xF-MAC-3 analogues. Furthermore, the results of fluorination in
xF-MAC-3 analogues offer a potential way to study the ligand pre-functionalization
effect on the structures and properties of MOFs analogues.
