Very Large Breathing Effect in the First Nanoporous Chromium(III)-Based Solids: MIL-53 or CrIII(OH)·{O2C−C6H4−CO2}·{HO2C−C6H4−CO2H}x·H2Oy

TL;DR: The first three-dimensional chromium(III) dicarboxylate, MIL-53as or CrIII(OH)·{O2C−C6H4−CO2}·{HO2C −C 6H4 −CO2H}0.75, has been obtained under hydrothermal conditions (as: as-synthesized).
Abstract: The first three-dimensional chromium(III) dicarboxylate, MIL-53as or CrIII(OH)·{O2C−C6H4−CO2}·{HO2C−C6H4−CO2H}0.75, has been obtained under hydrothermal conditions (as: as-synthesized). The free acid can be removed by calcination giving the resulting solid, MIL-53ht or CrIII(OH)·{O2C−C6H4−CO2}. At room temperature, MIL-53ht adsorbs atmospheric water immediately to give CrIII(OH)·{O2C−C6H4−CO2}·H2O or MIL-53lt (lt: low-temperature form, ht: high-temperature form). Both structures, which have been determined by using X-ray powder diffraction data, are built up from chains of chromium(III) octahedra linked through terephthalate dianions. This creates a three-dimensional structure with an array of one-dimensional large pore channels filled with free disordered terephthalic molecules (MIL-53as) or water molecules (MIL-53lt); when the free molecules are removed, this leads to a nanoporous solid (MIL-53ht) with a Langmuir surface area over 1500 m2/g. The transition between the hydrated form (MIL-53lt) and the a...

TL;DR: The state-of-the-art on hybrid porous solids, their advantages, their new routes of synthesis, the structural concepts useful for their 'design', aiming at reaching very large pores are presented.
Abstract: This critical review will be of interest to the experts in porous solids (including catalysis), but also solid state chemists and physicists. It presents the state-of-the-art on hybrid porous solids, their advantages, their new routes of synthesis, the structural concepts useful for their ‘design’, aiming at reaching very large pores. Their dynamic properties and the possibility of predicting their structure are described. The large tunability of the pore size leads to unprecedented properties and applications. They concern adsorption of species, storage and delivery and the physical properties of the dense phases. (323 references)

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that there is a strong linear correlation between the parameters for bonds from cations to pairs of anions, and this correlation is used to develop an interpolation scheme that allows the estimation of bond-valence parameters for 969 pairs of atoms.
Abstract: Bond-valence parameters which relate bond valences and bond lengths have been derived for a large number of bonds. It is shown that there is a strong linear correlation between the parameters for bonds from cations to pairs of anions. This correlation is used to develop an interpolation scheme that allows the estimation of bond-valence parameters for 969 pairs of atoms. A complete listing of these parameters is given.

TL;DR: Consideration of the geometric and chemical attributes of the SBUs and linkers leads to prediction of the framework topology, and in turn to the design and synthesis of a new class of porous materials with robust structures and high porosity.
Abstract: Secondary building units (SBUs) are molecular complexes and cluster entities in which ligand coordination modes and metal coordination environments can be utilized in the transformation of these fragments into extended porous networks using polytopic linkers (1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, 1,3,5,7-adamantanetetracarboxylate, etc.). Consideration of the geometric and chemical attributes of the SBUs and linkers leads to prediction of the framework topology, and in turn to the design and synthesis of a new class of porous materials with robust structures and high porosity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of six profile functions, including the pseudo-Voigt and Pearson VII, in Rietveld refinements with fixed-angle or fixed-wavelength powder diffraction data, obtained with neutrons or with X-rays.
Abstract: Reflection profile functions used or suggested for use in Rietveld refinements with fixed-angle or fixed-wavelength powder diffraction data, obtained with neutrons or with X-rays, are reviewed briefly. The fixed-wavelength X-ray case is considered in detail. In tests of fitting to individual resolved reflection profiles, at least eight different profile functions, including some representations consisting of "learned' differentiable number arrays, have been show to be satisfactory at the less than 3% misfit level. Several authors have made comparative studies of subsets of the six analytic functions, Gaussian (G), Lorentzian (L), modified Lorentzian (ML), intermediate Lorentzian (IL), pseudo-Voigt (p-V), and Pearson VII (PVII). In this work, the performance of all six, in Rietveld refinements with data sets from seven different specimens with differing degrees of broadening, have been intercompared on the basis of difference plots, Rwp, and RB. The Gaussian function was consistently the worst performer, while the pseudo-Voigt and Pearson VII were the best. For this reason, for reasons of simplicity, and for convenient though crude physical interpretation of the Lorentz-fraction parameter, the pseudo-Voigt is identified as the function of choice among these six. It is emphasized that a need still exists for a better profile function soundly based on physical reality.
