Obtaining 2D complexes in the form of crystals



Summary of stage 1

In this stage of the project, 14 ligands containing dimethylsilane or tetramethyldisiloxane units as spacers or attached trimethylsilane units were prepared. The role of these fragments, which are known to be highly hydrophobic, is to confer an amphiphilic character to the formed ligands of interest for the next stage of the project. For the synthesis of ligands, chloroalkylated silicone derivatives were generally used as precursors, namely chloropropyltrimethylsilane, chloromethyltrimethylsilane, bis(chloromethyl)dimethylsilane, bis(chloromethyl)tetramethyldisiloxane and 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane. For their derivatization, thiol substitution reactions with chloroalkylated silicone derivatives, Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, Hofmann carbylamine reaction and imine condensation reaction were used. All ligands were characterized by spectral methods (IR, NMR), most of them by elemental analysis, UV-Vis spectrophotometry and fluorescence and single crystal X-ray diffraction and in some cases by ESI-MS. Different protocols were tested (ligand/co-ligand mixtures, single ligand, heating under normal conditions, solvothermal) for obtaining 2D coordination networks with dicarboxylic ligands containing dimethylsilane and tetramethyldisiloxane spacers. The structures formed were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The activities carried out and the compounds obtained in this stage of the project constitute the basis for the implementation of the next stage of the project. The scientific results were disseminated in five scientific articles published in ISI journals, and four oral presentations at scientific events. Three short articles were published in volumes of these manifestations.

Summary of stage 2

Based on the experimental program, developed at the beginning of the project implementation, and the activity schedule, in this stage, a series of coordination polymers with ligands containing siloxane or silane spacers were prepared. Depending on the reactants used and the reaction conditions, structures with dimensions from 1D to 3D were obtained. Taking into account the purpose and the proposed objectives, 10 2D structures were selected for the report of this stage, of which five formed by the supramolecular self-assembly of covalent 1D structures and five are covalent 2D structures as results of activities A2.1 and A2.2 of the project. The obtained compounds were structurally characterized by elemental, spectral and crystallographic analysis and for some of them, depending on the structure, properties of interest were evaluated (sorption and stability to humidity, porosity, behavior and thermal stability, magnetic properties or optics). Despite the premises created by the "bottom-up" approach by using a ligand with surface activity, the obtained 2D coordination networks are still stacked in fairly large blocks, of the order of hundreds of micrometers, even if the cohesive forces are low, as indicate crystallographic studies. As a result, an additional "top-down" procedure was identified and applied, consisting in the ultrasonication of the crystalline compound dispersed in liquids with low to medium polarity, such as THF, this being the result of activity A2.3 of the project. 2D compounds were used as fillers for the silicone matrix in order to give it specific, active functionalities. The presence in the structure of methylsilicone segments, similar to the matrix, creates the conditions for a good compatibility. Two incorporation procedures were applied, (i) from the solution when, due to the amphiphilic character, the complex micelles in the matrix remaining in the form of spherical aggregates after solvent removal, and (ii) from the dispersion of the metallic complex, when the nanosheet structure of the 2D network crystalline remains, being able to give the resulting composite the specific properties due to this two-dimensional characteristic. As a result of activity A2.4, a series of 17 composites was prepared, whose characterization is foreseen for the next stage of the project. Within the A2.5 activity, the scientific results were disseminated in five scientific articles published in ISI journals (CIF: 21.355), a short article in the volume of a scientific event and six oral presentations at scientific events.

    Summary of stage 3

    Different procedures have been followed to obtain 2D coordination polymers in the form of nanometer-thick sheets: complexation at the interface, complexation by diffusion of reactants or precipitation of the complex already formed at the interface. In the latter case, the thickness of the sheets formed was about 17 nm, as estimated by the AFM technique (Figure 1). Also, the Langmuir-Blodgett technique was used with the equipment purchased from the project budget (Figure 2) for the deposition of three metal-ligand systems. The layers deposited on a glass substrate or silicone film by this technique were analyzed by AFM, the relevant images showing the formation of more or less uniform layers. It was found that the immersion speed of the substrate in the deposition solution has a very important role, the lower speed favoring the deposition of uniform layers (Figures 3, 4).

    Circular crystalline nanosheets, with diameters of 20-40 µm and thicknesses of 8-10 µm, were obtained in the case of the 2D coordination polymer based on Dy coordinated with bis(carboxyphenylene)diphenylsilane, by slow evaporation of the solvent (Figure 5). Some structures were evaluated from the point of view of hydrophobicity, specific surface area and free volume accessible for gases (H2, N2 and CO2 ), magnetic and dielectric properties, photoisomerization capacity, behavior in solvent environment (Figure 6). Several coordination compounds obtained in the previous stages of the project were delaminated by ultrasound in a non-solvent and were incorporated in different percentages in a silicone matrix, obtaining composites that were processed in the form of films and stabilized by condension-crosslinking with tetraethoxysilane. Apparently uniform, colored and very flexible films were obtained. These were analyzed from the point of view of morphology by SEM, mechanical properties, stress-strain tests, and dielectric characteristics. The theoretical calculations based on the experimental values obtained for the mechanical and electrical characteristics indicate these composites as being suitable as active elements in electromechanical power generation devices. The hydrophobicity of the films, highlighted by the recording of the water vapor sorption isotherms in dynamic regime, indicates the stability of the material's characteristics in a wet environment. Another functionality highlighted for such composites is that of sensitivity to solvent vapor when it reversibly changes its color and implicitly the UV absorption spectrum (Figure 7), thus making them suitable as solvent vapor sensors. The dissemination of scientific results achieved at this stage can be found in three articles published in ISI journals, two in volumes of scientific events, a book chapter, six presentations at scientific events, two of which were awarded. Also, two PhD theses were completed.
