The system is constituted by combination of an inorganic white core with either hard or soft magnetic properties and a white light emitting MOF. The key towards this achievement is the supraparticulate character constituted by a magnetic core, of either magnetite or alpha-Fe, surrounded by titania and silica nanoparticles of a certain size in a loose structural shell-arrangement as white components and finally the white light emitting metal-organic framework (MOF) EuTb@IFP-1 as building blocks of a core-shell structure. The supraparticles are created by forced assembly of the inorganic compounds and by combining spray-drying and postsynthetic modification by solvothermal chemistry. Thereby, the gap is bridged that homogenous compounds are either strongly magnetic, white in appearance or white light emitting. The composites presented herein inherit these properties intrinsically as electronic properties. The white characteristics are based on all optical properties that enable white: light reflection, refraction, and light emission. This work shifts the paradigm that strong magnetic materials are always expected to be intrinsically dark.}, language = {en} } @article{OtterMondalAlrefaietal.2021, author = {Otter, Dirk and Mondal, Suvendu Sekhar and Alrefai, Anas and Kr{\"a}tz, Lorenz and Holdt, Hans-J{\"u}rgen and Bart, Hans-J{\"o}rg}, title = {Characterization of an isostructural MOF series of Imidazolate Frameworks Potsdam by means of sorption experiments with water vapor}, series = {Nanomaterials}, volume = {11}, journal = {Nanomaterials}, number = {6}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2079-4991}, doi = {10.3390/nano11061400}, pages = {20}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Sorption measurements of water vapor on an isoreticular series of Imidazolate Frameworks Potsdam (IFP), based on penta-coordinated metal centers with secondary building units (SBUs) connected by multidentate amido-imidate-imidazolate linkers, have been carried out at 303.15 K. The isotherm shapes were analyzed in order to gain insight into material properties and compared to sorption experiments with nitrogen at 77.4 K and carbon dioxide at 273.15 K. Results show that water vapor sorption measurements are strongly influenced by the pore size distribution while having a distinct hysteresis loop between the adsorption and desorption branch in common. Thus, IFP-4 and -8, which solely contain micropores, exhibit H4 (type I) isotherm shapes, while those of IFP-1, -2 and -5, which also contain mesopores, are of H3 (type IV) shape with three inflection points. The choice of the used linker substituents and transition metals employed in the framework has a tremendous effect on the material properties and functionality. The water uptake capacities of the examined IFPs are ranging 0.48 mmol g(-1) (IFP-4) to 6.99 mmol g(-1) (IFP-5) and comparable to those documented for ZIFs. The water vapor stability of IFPs is high, with the exception of IFP-8.}, language = {en} } @article{AlrefaiMondalWrucketal.2019, author = {Alrefai, Anas and Mondal, Suvendu Sekhar and Wruck, Alexander and Kelling, Alexandra and Schilde, Uwe and Brandt, Philipp and Janiak, Christoph and Schoenfeld, Sophie and Weber, Birgit and Rybakowski, Lawrence and Herrman, Carmen and Brennenstuhl, Katlen and Eidner, Sascha and Kumke, Michael Uwe and Behrens, Karsten and G{\"u}nter, Christina and M{\"u}ller, Holger and Holdt, Hans-J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Hydrogen-bonded supramolecular metal-imidazolate frameworks: gas sorption, magnetic and UV/Vis spectroscopic properties}, series = {Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry}, volume = {94}, journal = {Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry}, number = {3-4}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Dordrecht}, issn = {1388-3127}, doi = {10.1007/s10847-019-00926-6}, pages = {155 -- 165}, year = {2019}, abstract = {By varying reaction parameters for the syntheses of the hydrogen-bonded metal-imidazolate frameworks (HIF) HIF-1 and HIF-2 (featuring 14 Zn and 14 Co atoms, respectively) to increase their yields and crystallinity, we found that HIF-1 is generated in two different frameworks, named as HIF-1a and HIF-1b. HIF-1b is isostructural to HIF-2. We determined the gas sorption and magnetic properties of HIF-2. In comparison to HIF-1a (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 471m(2) g(-1)), HIF-2 possesses overall very low gas sorption uptake capacities [BET(CO2) surface area=85m(2) g(-1)]. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement of HIF-2 showed antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the cobalt(II) high-spin centres at lower temperature. Theoretical analysis by density functional theory confirmed this finding. The UV/Vis-reflection spectra of HIF-1 (mixture of HIF-1a and b), HIF-2 and HIF-3 (with 14 Cd atoms) were measured and showed a characteristic absorption band centered at 340nm, which was indicative for differences in the imidazolate framework.}, language = {en} }
