Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a porous metal organic framework, shaped bodies comprising this, a process for preparing the framework and its use.
  • Porous metal organic frameworks are known from the prior art. They are distinguished, in particular, by their porosity and can frequently be employed in applications comparable to those which are known for inorganic zeolites.
  • Metal organic frameworks usually comprise an at least bidentate organic compound coordinated to a metal ion to form the skeleton of the metal organic framework.
  • metal and/or organic compound makes it possible to optimize the framework for the desired field of application.
  • the choice of the organic compound can exert an influence on the pore distribution.
  • the metal can make a contribution in adsorption processes.
  • aluminum since comparatively robust metal organic frameworks can be obtained as a result of strong coordinate bonds.
  • the aluminum ion is, due to its octahedral coordination, in principle capable of building up three-dimensional framework compounds.
  • the salts of aluminum used as starting materials are readily available and inexpensive.
  • the object is achieved by a porous metal organic framework formed by Al III ions to which fumarate ions are coordinated to produce a framework structure.
  • porous metal organic framework formed by aluminum ions and fumarate ions surprisingly has a one-dimensional channel structure which additionally displays a surprising high specific surface area, so that the metal organic framework of the present invention can be particularly useful for the storage and separation of chemical substances, in particular gases.
  • the porous metal organic framework of the invention thus has a one-dimensional channel structure which crystallizes in the orthorhombic system.
  • the structure of the porous metal organic framework of the invention can be recognized, in particular, by the X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) having a basic reflection in the range 8° ⁇ 2 ⁇ 12°.

  • FIG. 1 shows the X-ray diffraction pattern of the porous metal organic framework of the invention.
  • the intensity I (Lin(counts)) is shown as a function of the 2 theta scale (2 ⁇ ).
  • the diffraction pattern can be recorded as follows: the sample is installed as a powder in the sample container of a commercially available instrument (Siemens D-5000 diffractometer or Bruker D8-Advance). Cu-K ⁇ radiation with variable primary and secondary apertures and secondary monochromator is used as radiation source. The signal is detected by means of a scintillation detector (Siemens) or Solex semiconductor detector (Bruker). The measurement range for 2 ⁇ is typically chosen as from 2° to 70°. The angle step is 0.02°, and the measurement time per angle step is typically from 2 to 4 seconds. In the evaluation, reflections are distinguished by a signal strength which is at least 3 times as high as the background noise. An area analysis can be carried out manually by drawing a baseline under the individual reflections. As an alternative, programs such as “Topas-Profile” from Bruker can be used, in which case the background smoothing then preferably occurs automatically via a 1st order polynomial in the software.
  • the framework of the invention has a one-dimensional channel structure in which linear chains of Al III ions and OH groups are bridged by the organic fumarate to give a three-dimensional, orthorhombic structure.

Abstract

Porous metal organic frameworks formed by AlIII ions to which fumarate ions are coordinated to produce a framework structure; shaped bodies comprising such porous metal organic frameworks, and also the preparation and use thereof for the uptake of a substance for the purposes of its storage, controlled release, separation, chemical reaction or as support.

Description

  • The present invention relates to a porous metal organic framework, shaped bodies comprising this, a process for preparing the framework and its use.
  • Porous metal organic frameworks are known from the prior art. They are distinguished, in particular, by their porosity and can frequently be employed in applications comparable to those which are known for inorganic zeolites.
  • Metal organic frameworks usually comprise an at least bidentate organic compound coordinated to a metal ion to form the skeleton of the metal organic framework.
  • An appropriate choice of metal and/or organic compound makes it possible to optimize the framework for the desired field of application. For example, the choice of the organic compound can exert an influence on the pore distribution. In addition, the metal can make a contribution in adsorption processes.
  • There is thus a continual need to provide specific metal organic frameworks which, in particular, have extraordinary properties attributable to the choice of the metal and of the organic compound.
  • One interesting metal is aluminum since comparatively robust metal organic frameworks can be obtained as a result of strong coordinate bonds. In addition, the aluminum ion is, due to its octahedral coordination, in principle capable of building up three-dimensional framework compounds. Furthermore, the salts of aluminum used as starting materials are readily available and inexpensive.
  • It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide frameworks which are based on aluminum and have particular properties, especially in respect of the storage and separation of chemical substances such as gases.
  • The object is achieved by a porous metal organic framework formed by AlIII ions to which fumarate ions are coordinated to produce a framework structure.
  • It has been found that the porous metal organic framework formed by aluminum ions and fumarate ions (trans-1,2-ethylenedicarboxylate) surprisingly has a one-dimensional channel structure which additionally displays a surprising high specific surface area, so that the metal organic framework of the present invention can be particularly useful for the storage and separation of chemical substances, in particular gases.
  • The porous metal organic framework of the invention thus has a one-dimensional channel structure which crystallizes in the orthorhombic system.
  • The structure of the porous metal organic framework of the invention can be recognized, in particular, by the X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) having a basic reflection in the range 8°<2Θ<12°.
  • FIG. 1 shows the X-ray diffraction pattern of the porous metal organic framework of the invention. Here, the intensity I (Lin(counts)) is shown as a function of the 2 theta scale (2Θ).
  • Here, the diffraction pattern can be recorded as follows: the sample is installed as a powder in the sample container of a commercially available instrument (Siemens D-5000 diffractometer or Bruker D8-Advance). Cu-Kα radiation with variable primary and secondary apertures and secondary monochromator is used as radiation source. The signal is detected by means of a scintillation detector (Siemens) or Solex semiconductor detector (Bruker). The measurement range for 2Θ is typically chosen as from 2° to 70°. The angle step is 0.02°, and the measurement time per angle step is typically from 2 to 4 seconds. In the evaluation, reflections are distinguished by a signal strength which is at least 3 times as high as the background noise. An area analysis can be carried out manually by drawing a baseline under the individual reflections. As an alternative, programs such as “Topas-Profile” from Bruker can be used, in which case the background smoothing then preferably occurs automatically via a 1st order polynomial in the software.
  • The framework of the invention has a one-dimensional channel structure in which linear chains of AlIII ions and OH groups are bridged by the organic fumarate to give a three-dimensional, orthorhombic structure.
  • The metal organic framework of the invention can be present in powder form or as agglomerate.
  • The porous metal organic framework of the invention can be used as such in powder form or is converted into a shaped body.
  • Accordingly, a further aspect of the present invention is the porous metal organic framework of the invention in powder form.
  • A further aspect of the present invention is accordingly a shaped body comprising the porous metal organic framework of the invention.
  • The production of shaped bodies comprising metal organic frameworks is described, for example, in WO-A 03/102000.
  • Here, preferred processes for producing shaped bodies are extrusion and tableting. In the production of the shaped bodies, the framework can be present in a mixture with further materials, for example binders, lubricants or other additives, which are added during production. It is likewise conceivable for the framework to comprise further constituents, for example absorbents such as activated carbon or the like.
  • The possible geometries of the shaped bodies are essentially not subject to any restrictions. Examples which may be mentioned are, inter alia, pellets such as disk-shaped pellets, pills, spheres, granules, extrudates such as rods, honeycombs, grids or hollow bodies.
  • To produce these shaped bodies, it is in principle possible to employ all suitable methods. In particular, the following processes are preferred:
      • Kneading/pan milling of the framework either alone or together with at least one binder and/or at least one pasting agent and/or at least one template compound to give a mixture; shaping of the resulting mixture by means of at least one suitable method such as extrusion; optionally washing and/or drying and/or calcination of the extrudate; optionally finishing treatment.
      • Tableting together with at least one binder and/or another auxiliary.
      • Application of the framework to at least one optionally porous support material. The material obtained can then be processed further by the above-described method to give a shaped body.
      • Application of the framework to at least one optionally porous substrate.
  • Kneading/pan milling and shaping can be carried out by any suitable method, for example as described in Ullmanns Enzyklopädie der Technischen Chemie, 4th edition, volume 2, p. 313 ff, (1972).
  • For example, the kneading/pan milling and/or shaping can be carried out by means of a piston press, roller press in the presence or absence of at least one binder, compounding, pelletization, tableting, extrusion, coextrusion, foaming, spinning, coating, granulation, preferably spray granulation, spraying, spray drying or a combination of two or more of these methods.
  • Very particular preference is given to producing pellets and/or tablets.
  • The kneading and/or shaping can be carried out at elevated temperatures, for example in the range from room temperature to 300° C., and/or under superatmospheric pressure, for example in the range from atmospheric pressure to a few hundred bar, and/or in a protective gas atmosphere, for example in the presence of at least one noble gas, nitrogen or a mixture of two or more thereof.
  • The kneading and/or shaping is, in a further embodiment, carried out with addition of at least one binder, with the binder used basically being able to be any chemical compound which ensures the viscosity desired for the kneading and/or shaping of the composition to be kneaded and/or shaped. Accordingly, binders can, for the purposes of the present invention, be either viscosity-increasing or viscosity-reducing compounds.
  • Preferred binders are, for example, inter alia, aluminum oxide or binders comprising aluminum oxide, as are described, for example, in WO 94/29408, silicon dioxide as described, for example, in EP 0 592 050 A1, mixtures of silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide, as are described, for example, in WO 94/13584, clay minerals as described, for example, in JP 03-037156 A, for example montmorillonite, kaolin, bentonite, halloysite, dickite, nacrite and anauxite, alkoxysilanes as are described, for example, in EP 0 102 544 B1, for example tetraalkoxysilanes such as tetramethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, tetrapropoxysilane, tetrabutoxysilane, or, for example, trialkoxysilanes such as trimethoxysilane, triethoxysilane, tripropoxysilane, tributoxysilane, alkoxytitanates, for example tetralkoxytitanates such as tetramethoxytitanate, tetraethoxytitanate, tetrapropoxytitanate, tetrabutoxytitanate, or, for example, trialkoxytitanates such as trimethoxytitanate, triethoxytitanate, tripropoxytitanate, tributoxytitanate, alkoxyzirconates, for example tetralkoxyzirconates such as tetramethoxyzirconate, tetraethoxyzirconate, tetrapropoxyzirconate, tetrabutoxyzirconate, or, for example, trialkoxyzirconates such as trimethoxyzirconate, triethoxyzirconate, tripropoxyzirconate, tributoxyzirconate, silica sols, amphiphilic substances and/or graphites.
  • As viscosity-increasing compound, it is, for example, also possible to use, if appropriate in addition to the abovementioned compounds, an organic compound and/or a hydrophilic polymer such as cellulose or a cellulose derivative such as methylcellulose and/or a polyacrylate and/or a polymethacrylate and/or a polyvinyl alcohol and/or a polyvinylpyrrolidone and/or a polyisobutene and/or a polytetrahydrofuran and/or a polyethylene oxide.
  • As pasting agent, it is possible to use, inter alia, preferably water or at least one alcohol such as a monoalcohol having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, for example methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol or 2-methyl-2-propanol or a mixture of water and at least one of the alcohols mentioned or a polyhydric alcohol such as a glycol, preferably a water-miscible polyhydric alcohol, either alone or as a mixture with water and/or at least one of the monohydric alcohols mentioned.
  • Further additives which can be used for kneading and/or shaping are, inter alia, amines or amine derivatives such as tetraalkylammonium compounds or amino alcohols and carbonate-comprising compounds such as calcium carbonate. Such further additives are described, for instance, in EP 0 389 041 A1, EP 0 200 260 A1 or WO 95/19222.
  • The order of the additives such as template compound, binder, pasting agent, viscosity-increasing substance during shaping and kneading is in principle not critical.
  • In a further preferred embodiment, the shaped body obtained by kneading and/or shaping is subjected to at least one drying step which is generally carried out at a temperature in the range from 25 to 500° C., preferably in the range from 50 to 500° C. and particularly preferably in the range from 100 to 350° C. It is likewise possible to carry out drying under reduced pressure or under a protective gas atmosphere or by spray drying.
  • In a particularly preferred embodiment, at least one of the compounds added as additives is at least partly removed from the shaped body during this drying process.
  • The metal organic framework of the invention comprises pores, in particular micropores and/or mesopores. Micropores are defined as pores having a diameter of 2 nm or less and mesopores are defined by a diameter in the range from 2 to 50 nm (Pure & Appl. Chem. 57 (1985) 603-619). The presence of micropores and/or mesopores can be checked by means of sorption measurements, with these measurements determining the uptake capacity of the metal organic frameworks for nitrogen at 77 kelvin (Langmuir method) in accordance with DIN 66131 and/or DIN 66134.
  • The pores are preferably present in the form of one-dimensional channels having a diameter of from 5 to 15 angström, particularly preferably from 7 to 12 Å.
  • The specific surface area, calculated according to the Langmuir model (DIN 66131, 66134), of the metal organic framework of the invention in powder form is preferably at least 1000 m2/g, more preferably at least 1200 m2/g, more preferably at least 1400 m2/g, even more preferably at least 1600 m2/g, even more preferably at least 1800 m2/g and particularly preferably at least 1950 m2/g.
  • Shaped bodies comprising the metal organic framework of the invention can have a lower specific surface area, but preferably at least 500 m2/g, more preferably at least 600 m2/g, even more preferably at least 700 m2/g, in particular at least 800 m2/g.
  • The present invention further provides a process for preparing a porous metal organic framework according to the invention, which comprises the step
      • reaction of a reaction mixture comprising at least one aluminum compound and fumaric acid or a salt thereof in the presence of an organic solvent at a predetermined temperature and a predetermined pressure.
  • The organic component of the porous metal organic framework of the invention is fumaric acid which can be reacted with an aluminum compound. It is likewise possible to use derivatives of fumaric acid. Thus, for example, it is conceivable to use fumaric acid in the form of its salt. The salt, in which fumaric acid is present as completely or partially deprotonated anion, can have any suitable cation.
  • Such cations can be, for example, monovalent or divalent, preferably monovalent, metal ions. Examples are, in particular, sodium and potassium salts. It is likewise possible to use cations of ammonium compounds. Here, particular mention may be made of ammonium itself and also alkylammonium cations.
  • The aluminum compound can be produced by anodic oxidation of metallic aluminum. In such a case the porous metal organic framework of the invention is prepared by an at least partly electrochemical route. Processes for the electrochemical preparation of porous metal organic frameworks are described in WO-A 2005/049892. The aluminum compound for the porous metal organic framework of the invention can also be produced by this route.
  • In the electrochemical preparation of the porous metal organic framework of the invention, preference is given to cathodic redeposition of the aluminum ion being at least partly prevented by means of at least one of the following measures:
      • (i) use of an electrolyte which promotes cathodic formation of hydrogen;
      • (ii) addition of at least one compound which leads to cathodic depolarization;
      • (iii) use of a cathode having a suitable hydrogen overvoltage.
  • The process can be carried out in an undivided electrolysis cell. Especially useful cells are gap cells or stacked plate cells. These can be connected in a bipolar fashion. Suitable reaction media are, for example, methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide, diethylformamide or a mixture of two or more of these solvents.
  • An electrolyte salt or a plurality of electrolyte salts can also be present in the reaction mixture. Here, the electrolyte salt can have a quaternary ammonium ion as cation component and an alkoxysulfate ion as anion component. The total solids content should be greater than or equal to 0.5% by weight.
  • The reaction in the process of the invention for preparing the metal organic framework of the invention can also be carried out by a classical route. Here, the aluminum compound is typically an aluminum salt.
  • The aluminum salt can be present in the form of an alkoxide, acetonate, halide, sulfite, as a salt of an organic or inorganic, oxygen-comprising acid or a mixture thereof.
  • An alkoxide is, for example, a methoxide, ethoxide, n-propoxide, i-propoxide, n-butoxide, i-butoxide, t-butoxide or phenoxide.
  • An acetonate is, for example, acetylacetonate.
  • A halide is, for example, chloride, bromide or iodide.
  • An organic, oxygen-comprising acid is, for example, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid or another alkylmonocarboxylic acid.
  • An inorganic, oxygen-comprising acid is, for example, sulfuric acid, sulfurous acid, phosphoric acid or nitric acid.
  • More preferred aluminum compounds are inorganic aluminum salts such as aluminum chloride, aluminum bromide, aluminum hydrogensulfate, aluminum dihydrogen phosphate, aluminum monohydrogen phosphate, aluminum phosphate, aluminum nitrate.
  • The aluminum compound can, if appropriate, comprise water of hydration, which is preferred. Particularly preferred aluminum compounds are the hydrates of the chloride, nitrate and sulfate.
  • The reaction in the process of the invention for preparing the porous metal organic framework of the invention is carried out at least in the presence of an organic solvent. Here, solvothermal conditions can be used.
  • For the purposes of the present invention, the term “thermal” refers to a preparative process in which the reaction to form the porous metal organic framework of the invention is carried out in a pressure vessel which is closed during the reaction and to which elevated temperature is applied so that a pressure builds up within the reaction medium in the pressure vessel as a result of the vapor pressure of the solvent present.
  • The reaction preferably does not occur in a water-comprising medium and thus not under solvothermal conditions.
  • Accordingly, the reaction in the process of the invention preferably occurs in the presence of a nonaqueous solvent.
  • The reaction is preferably carried out at a pressure of from 1 bar to 16 bar (absolute), preferably from 1 to 3 bar (absolute). However, the pressure is more preferably not more than 1230 mbar (absolute). The reaction particularly preferably takes place at atmospheric pressure. However, slight superatmospheric or subatmospheric pressures can occur due to the apparatus. For the purposes of the present invention, the term “atmospheric pressure” therefore refers to the pressure range given by the actual atmospheric pressure ±150 mbar.
  • The reaction preferably takes place in a temperature range from 100° C. to 200° C. The temperature is preferably in the range from 110° C. to 170° C. The temperature is more preferably in the range from 120° C. to 150° C.
  • The reaction mixture can further comprise a base. This serves, in particular, to ensure that when the carboxylic acid is used as at least bidentate organic compound, this is readily soluble. When an organic solvent is used, it is frequently not necessary to add such a base. Nevertheless, the solvent for the process of the invention can be selected so that it itself is basic, but this is not absolutely necessary for carrying out the process of the invention.
  • It is likewise possible to use a base. However, preference is given to no additional base being used.
  • Furthermore, it is advantageous for the reaction to be able to take place with stirring, which is also advantageous in a scale-up.
  • The (nonaqueous) organic solvent is preferably a C1-6-alkanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-diethylformamide (DEF), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), acetonitrile, toluene, dioxane, benzene, chlorobenzene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), pyridine, tetrahydrofuran (THF), ethyl acetate, optionally halogenated C1-200-alkane, sulfolane, glycol, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), gamma-butyrolactone, alicyclic alcohols such as cyclohexanol, ketones such as acetone or acetylacetone, cyclic ketones such as cyclohexanone, sulfolene or mixtures thereof.
