Selective Host–Guest Interaction between Metal Ions and Metal–Organic Frameworks Using Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Enhanced Solid‐State NMR Spectroscopy

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The host-guest interaction between metal ions (Pt(2+) and Cu(2+) ) and a zirconium metal-organic framework (UiO-66-NH2 ) was explored using dynamic nuclear polarization-enhanced (15) N{(1) H} CPMAS NMR spectroscopy supported by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional calculations. The combined experimental results conclude that each Pt(2+) coordinates with two NH2 groups from the MOF and two Cl(-) from the metal precursor, whereas Cu(2+) do not form chemical bonds with the NH2 groups of the MOF framework. Density functional calculations reveal that Pt(2+) prefers a square-planar structure with the four ligands and resides in the octahedral cage of the MOF in either cis or trans configurations.
