Abstract

An amino functionalized vanadium-containing Metal Organic Framework, NH 2-MIL-47, has been synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction in an autoclave. Alternatively, a synthesis route via microwave enhanced irradiation has been optimized to accelerate the synthesis. The NH 2-MIL-47 exhibits the same topology as MIL-47, in which the V center is octahedrally coordinated. After an exchange procedure in DMF the V +III center is oxidized to V +IV, which is confirmed by EPR and XPS measurements. The CO 2 and CH 4 adsorption properties have been evaluated and compared to MIL-47, showing that both MOFs have an almost similar adsorption capacity and affinity for CO 2. DFT-based molecular modeling calculations were performed to obtain more insight into the adsorption positions for CO 2 in NH 2-MIL-47. Furthermore our calculated adsorption enthalpies agree well with the experimental values.
