Abstract

A robust microporous praseodymium-organic framework, {[Pr3(NTB)3(H2O)3]·(DMF)3(H2O)4}n (Pr-NTB, 1), was solvothermally synthesized based on 4,4΄,4΄΄-nitrilotribenzoic acid (H3NTB) and fully characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals compound 1 possesses a three-dimensional porous coordination network, in which discrete cages are connected through microporous windows. 1 shows extraordinary thermal and water stability; in particular, it is stable in aqueous media from pH = 3 to 11, which is outstanding in benzyl-carboxylate based MOFs. Furthermore, 1 exhibits permanent porosity with the BET surface area of 156.2 m2·g-1 and can adsorb suitable CO2 (1.14 mmol·g-1 at 273 K/1 bar) with isosteric heat of adsorption (Qst) of 28.5 kJ·mol-1. These features suggest that the porous material 1 is a good candidate for CO2 capture in real-world application. Notably, the integration of fluorescent property, porosity and water stability in 1 promises it as a selective fluorescent sensor for Fe3+ cation in water.
