Final Report Abstract

Examples of the suggested pyrazolylbenzoic acids and pyrazolylphosphonic acids as ligands for coodinatinon networks were synthesized. Because of low-yield pyrazolylphosphonic acid had to be substituted by mixedfunctional phosphonocarboxylic acid ligands. Both, pyrazolylbenzoic acids and the phosphonocarboxylic acid ligand lead to a series of water-stable coordination networks. A pleasant surprise were the solvent-dependent single-crystal transformations of the Cu-network with the mixed-functional linker HMe2pzC6H4CO2–. We have to admit that while networks from pyrazolylbenzoic acid or phosphonocarboxylic acid ligands are more water stable than common prototypical Zn-MOFs (e.g. MOF-5) or the Cu-MOF HKUST-1 they probably still do not reach the now manifested water-stability of MIL-101Cr or aluminum fumarate. Also, for envisioned large-scale MOF applications, e.g., in gas storage (CH4 in fuel tanks) or reversible water sorption for heat transformations, the ligands are probably "too expensive" to synthesize. Moreover, the charge-density analysis of ZIF-8 was the first one for a truly porous MOF (and not just a coordination network). ZIF-8 had been activated prior to the data set collections.
