Abstract A new 3D nanoporous metal-organic framework (MOF), [[Zn4O(C24H15N6O6)2(H2O)2].6H2O.DMF]n (1) based on 4,4΄,4΄΄-s-triazine-1,3,5-triyltri-p-aminobenzoate (TATAB) ligand was solvothermally synthesized and characterized by single–crystal X-ray diffraction, Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analyses. X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis reveals that 1 exhibits a 3D network with new kvh1 topology. Semi-empirical (AM1) calculations were carried out to obtain stable conformers for TATAB ligand. In addition, the absorption of two typical aldehydes (benzaldehyde and formaldehyde) in the presence of 1 was investigated and the effect of the aldehyde concentration, exposure time and temperature was studied. It was found that compound 1 has a potential for the absorption of aldehydes under mild conditions.

1. Introduction Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are new categories of crystalline porous materials fabricated from the self-assembly of inorganic metal ions or metal clusters and organic ligands. Recently, MOFs have been receiving considerable attention as absorbents and separators due to their huge porosity and variety of pore shape and size from micro to nano scales [1-9]. Large surface area, controllable pore geometry, as well as facile tunability of ligands of these materials make them highly suitable for absorptive removal of hazardous compounds. Using functionalized linkers as active sites in MOF materials have successfully induced additional interactions among the absorbates and MOFs. Synthesis of MOFs with nano-sized inner cavity is highly desirable in order to achieve high absorption capacity and absorption of large molecules. However, obtaining nanoporous MOFs poses a great challenge on the structure design because of interpenetration effects [10-21], and only a few 3-D mesoporous MOFs with inner nano-sized cavities have been reported [20-22]. MOFs have been applied for the removal of hazardous materials [23]. Some pollutants such as benzaldehyde and formaldehyde have been shown to be carcinogens. Absorption of ultraviolet sunlight by aldehyde components causes them to decay into free radicals. Solutions, containing about 40% of formaldehyde have been reported to induce severe diseases or death in humans [23-28]. Several methods have been reported and applied to remove these compounds from the environment or convert them into non-toxic compounds [29-32]. Amine-containing molecules as scavenging systems can effectively remove aldehyde compounds during a condensation reaction at ambient conditions [33]. The incorporation of TATAB as linker in the MOF structures with high surface area have been reported [20-21]. In this work, we report the synthesis of a new 3-D nanoporous MOF, 1, based on zinc ions and TATAB ligand. The prepared MOF has been utilized for the absorptive removal of two aldehyde compounds. Also the effect of the aldehydes concentration, exposure time and temperature on the absorptive removal of these two compounds has been investigated.

2. Experimental section 2.1. Materials and measurements All the chemicals used in this study were analytical grade and used without further purification. The infrared (IR) spectroscopy of the samples was measured on a Bruker Enquinox 55 spectrometer, equipped with a single reflection diamond ATR system. H-NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance 500 MHz spectrometer. Thermogravimetric analysis was performed with a TA instruments SDT Q600 thermal analyzer under nitrogen. Identification and quantification of the organic stuff in the samples were carried out on a Chrompack CP 9000 system equipped with ECD detector. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns (PXRD) were obtained on a Philips PW1800. The simulated PXRD pattern was extracted using the Mercury program from the corresponding single-crystal data. N2 adsorption at 77 K was acquired on a Belsorp-mini II (BEL Japan, Inc.). Single crystal X-ray intensity data were collected on an Agilent Supernova Dual Source (Cu at zero) diffractometer equipped with an Atlas CCD detector using CuKα radiation (λ = 1.54178 Å) and ω scans. The images were interpreted and integrated with the program CrysAlisPro (Agilent Technologies) [34]. Using Olex2 [35], the structure was solved by direct methods using the SHELXS structure solution program [36] and refined by full-matrix leastsquares on F2 using the SHELXL program package [36]. Non-hydrogen atoms were anisotropically refined and the hydrogen atoms in the riding mode and isotropic temperature factors fixed at 1.2 times U (eq) of the parent atoms (1.5 times for methyl groups). Prior to publication, the data have been deposited in Cambridge crystallographic data center, with deposition number CCDC-946760. All geometries were optimized by the AM1 semi-empirical calculations by the Gaussian 98 software [37]. 2.2. Synthesis of compound 1 TATAB was synthesized according to the previously reported method [21]. To prepare compound 1, Zn (NO3)2 .6H2O (23.8 mg 0.08 mmol) and TATAB (10.0 mg, 0.02 mmol) were added to a mixture of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and water with a molar ratio of 4:1. The obtained solution was placed into a Teflon-lined autoclave, sealed and located in a preheated electric oven at 140 ºC for 72 hours. The colorless powder containing plate crystals of 1 was collected and washed with the mixture of DMF and H2O for three times. Elem. Anal. Calc. for C,42.3; H, 2.6; N, 12.6.

2.3. Aldehyde removal process Prior to absorption, compound 1 was dried for 24 h at 50 °C and was kept in a desiccator. A stock solution of the desired aldehyde (10,000 ppm) was prepared by dissolving it in DMF. Different concentrations of the aldehyde solution (100 to 5000 ppm) were prepared by dilution of the stock solutions. The absorption of the aldehyde on 1 took place in a liquid phase at atmospheric pressure under 120 rpm stirring. In all experiments, 50 mg of 1 as sorbent in 100 g of aldehyde solution in DMF were used. The concentration of the solutions after maximum absorption in the presence of 1 was determined by gas chromatography using the following equation [38]: Qt = (C0 −Ct) V/W

(Eq.1)

Where Qt is the absorption capacity at exposure time t (mg/g), Ct is the concentration of the aldehydes at exposure time t (mg/L), V is the volume of the solution, W is the mass of 1 used in the experiments and t is exposure time. The aldehyde removal (RE (%)) was calculated for each run by Eq.2: RE (%) = (C0 - Ce)/Co x 100

3. Results and discussion 3.1. Crystal structure of 1 Table 1 contains the crystallographic details for 1. The structure of TATAB is shown in Fig. 1 and their corresponding H-NMR spectra in Figs. S1 and S2. The asymmetric unit of 1 possesses two TATAB ligands, four zinc ions with a central oxygen atom, two coordinated water molecules, as well as one N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and six non-coordinated water molecules. The compound’s framework is constructed from four-nuclear SBUs as six-connected nodes and TATAB ligands as spacers, through coordination bonds (Fig. 2). Each node consists of four ZnII ions that are coordinated to three oxygen atoms belonging to three TATAB ligands and one central bridging µ 4-O oxygen atom for Zn1, Zn2 and Zn4 in a distorted tetrahedral geometry, while Zn3 is coordinated to two more water oxygen atoms in a distorted octahedral configuration. The TATAB ligands act as µ6 bridges, linking six ZnII ions from three different SBUs in µ6-η2:η2:η2 modes. There is one DMF as non-coordinative solvent molecule in each SUB. The 3D framework of 1 is represented in Figs. 3, S3 and S4. The Zn-O (carboxylate) bond lengths are in the range of 1.917(3)-2.081(3)Å and Zn-Owater bond lengths are 2.002(6) and 2.066(4)Å. The Zn···Zn distances differ from 3.1012(7) to 3.0791(7)Å and bond lengths of each Zn and the central oxygen atom (µ4-O) vary from 1.917(3) to 2.30(3)Å (table S1).

Topological studies show a two-fold interpenetrated uninodal 3D Network for 1. The structure can be simplified by considering the triazine-1,3,5-triyl and {Zn4O(CO2)6(H2O)2} cluster group as 3coordinated and 6-coordinated node, respectively, and Benzene-1,4-diyl and amine groups can be replaced by 2-coordinated nodes (fig 4.a and 4.b) . The resulting simplified structure shows that this structure is a bindal 3,6-coordinated underlying net with stoichiometry (3-c)2(6-c) which is not known (fig 5), however it is very close to topological type flu-3,6-I41cd [39] with the same point symbol (611.84)(63)2 and vertex symbol [6.6.6.6.62.62.62.62.62.62.62.8.8.*.*][63.63.63]2. Moreover, almost all other topological indices of this net and flu-3,6-I41cd are the same, in particular, coordination and circuit sequences. The only indices that are tiny different are so called ‘all circuits’ showing the numbers of circuits of different size meeting at each angle of each vertex. This net has a lower symmetry of Aba2 instead of I41cd in flu-3,6-I41cd. It was deposited to the TOPOS TTD collection [40] under the name kvh1.

3.2. Thermal analysis Thermogravimetric analysis curve for 1 was obtained by heating the sample from 25 °C to 800 °C at the rate of 20 °C min−1 under a stream of nitrogen (Fig. S5). The first weight loss of 3.0% (calculated 2.5%) between 25 and 160 °C corresponds to the loss of two non -coordinated waters and the second weight loss of 10.8% (calculated 10.0%) in the range of 160 – 200 °C is related to the loss of the four non-coordinated water molecules and one DMF molecule. The final decomposition step begins at about 200 °C and the residue is ZnO. Fig. S6 shows the PXRD pattern of the heated 1 at 800°C. We confirmed the existence of ZnO structure by comparison of the diffraction pattern with the values reported in the database of ZnO (JCPDS card no. 0-3-0888).

3.3. Absorption of benzaldehyde and formaldehyde by 1 Absorption of two aldehydes including benzaldehyde and formaldehyde was studied. We examined the absorption of a mixture of benzaldehyde, formaldehyde, n-pentane and propylamine by 1 in DMF as solvent at 50 °C for 2 hours. We have found that 1 has more tendencies for the absorption of two aldehydes compared to that of n-pentane and propylamine (Figs. S7-S9). Benzaldehyde and 9

formaldehyde were selected as two representative absorbate molecules to evaluate the absorption ability of 1 and the effect of some absorption parameters such as exposure time, temperature and the concentration for each aldehyde molecule has been investigated separately. The effect of the temperature on the absorption of the aldehydes on 1 as absorbent was studied. After the absorption process, compound 1 was filtered and washed with DMF and the filtrate was analyzed

by GC analysis. The effect the exposure time on the aldehyde absorption by 1 is presented in Fig. 6.

Time(h) Fig. 6. Effect of exposure time on the absorption of benzaldehye, formaldehyde (DMF as solvent, absorption temperature and initial concentration of 25 °C and 100 ppm, respectively).

As seen the absorption of each aldehyde improves by increasing the exposure time. The results of the aldehyde absorption at different temperatures (Fig. 7) indicate that at higher temperature the absorption increases. After the absorption process compound 1 was filtered and washed with DMF.

The PXRD patterns of 1 before and after the absorption are shown in Fig Fig. 8.. The similarity of the PXRD patterns of the simulated and fresh 1 shows phase purity of the prepared MOF. Moreover the PXRD patterns of 1 before and after the absorption process are almost the same indicating that the structure of the MOF is retained after aldehyde loading.

In order to study the changes in textural properties upon absorption of the aldehydes, multi point nitrogen adsorption measurements at 77 K were carried out. Before the measurements, compound 1 was immersed in chloroform and evacuated at ambient temperature for 3 h to obtain the activated sample. Specific surface area, average pore size and total pore volume were taken by multi point Brunauer–Emmet–Teller (BET) method at P/P0 = 0.99 (Table 2). Table 2.

After aldehyde absorption, BET of compound 1 showed a decrease in the amount of N2 absorbption that is apparently resulting from an increased density of the framework, moreover, the pore sizes of 1 decreased suggesting that benzaldehyde and formaldhyde have been captured in the pores of framework. H-NMR Spectroscopy has been used to characterize chemical structure of 1 before (blank) and after aldehydes absorption. (Figs. S10- S12).

3.4. Computational In order to understand the flexibility of the TATAB structure, AM1 and DFT methods with B3LYP/631G** functions for conformational analysis were used. Two torsion angles D5 and D30 have clearly shown the significant impact on the energy of TATAB structure (Fig. 1). We obtained the energy levels of the structure by simultaneous scanning of both of the angles from 0 to 180°. Although the most popular method for the optimization of organic compounds is Density Functional Theory (DFT), the DFT method is not appropriate for the conformational analysis of TATAB because in this method the energy of different conformers based on D5 and D30 torsion angles is the same. Conformational analysis of the TATAB ligand by AM1 shows 324 conformers (Fig. 10a). According to these results, the energy of the conformers depends on the torsion angle D5. The vibrational analysis shows that only 70 conformers are thermodynamically possible that the D5 angle of them is around 40° (Fig. 10b). As 13

shown in Fig. 10b, these conformers are highly flexible and can be converted to each other with low energy barrier suggesting that the synthesis of MOF structures using TATAB as ligand is quite challenging [20-21]. The conformer of TATAB in 1 has torsion angle of 155° and 24° for D5 and D30 respectively. This conformer is one of the 70 stable conformers which are computationally analyzed.

4. Conclusions The 3D nanoporous MOF, 1, based on TATAB ligand and Zn (NO3)2 .6H2O with new topology has been successfully synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Absorption of two typical aldehydes (formaldehyde and benzaldehyde) by 1 was studied. The results indicated that compound 1 has a potential for absorption removal of the aldehydes in DMF. Also Semi-empirical AM1 calculations were used to perform conformational analysis of TATAB.
