Porous Metal-Adeninate Crystalline Materials: Design, Synthesis and Emerging Properties.
Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
The research is aimed at designing and synthesizing porous biomolecule-based materialsfor potential environmental and biological applications. We developed synthetic methods tocontrol the coordination chemistry between adenine and metal ions with the aim of organizingadenine into structurally well-defined porous materials. As a result, several interesting metaladeninate frameworks, based on various metal-adeninate coordination modes, have beensynthesized and characterized. They exhibit not only interesting structures but also uniquephysical properties.The research has shown that adenine is a versatile biomolecular ligand for theconstruction and design of crystalline supramolecular and extended porous solid-state materialsincluding MOFs. Metal-adeninate materials can be permanently porous and can selectivelyadsorb and store various gas molecules. Anionic-MOFs can be used as materials for gas sorption,drug storage and release, and the sensitization of lanthanides by tuning the functionality and poremetrics of anionic-MOFs via cation exchange. Finally, a new strategy to design and constructmesoporous MOFs with unprecedented pore volumes from metal-adeninate secondary buildingunits (SBUs) has also been discovered.
