Abstract
Described herein are corrole-based frameworks and methods for making the same. The corrole-based frameworks have unique structural and physical properties, which lends them to be versatile in a number of different applications and uses such as in gas storage/separation, proton conduction, biomedicine, sensing, and catalysis. In one aspect, the corrole-based frameworks are organic frameworks. In other aspects, the corrole-based frameworks are metal-organic frameworks.
Claims15
A metal-organic framework, wherein the metal-organic framework comprises a structural unit comprising the formula II
- M6(μ3—O)4(μ3—OH)4(OH)3(H2O)3(TCPC)9 II
- wherein M is Zr or Hf, and
- TCPC is 5,10,15-tris(p-carboxylphenyl)corrole.
An organic framework produced by reacting 5,10,15-tris(p-aminophenyl)corrole (H3TPAPC) with a compound of formula III
- wherein R is hydrogen, an alkyl group, aryl group, an aralkyl group, a halide group, a cyano group, a hydroxy group, alkoxy group, a carboxyl group, or a nitro group, or a fused aryl group, and n is an integer from 1 to 4.
