Desulfurization Efficiency Preserved in a Heterometallic MOF: Synthesis and Thermodynamically Controlled Phase Transition.

ABSTRACT: Efficient removal of heterocyclic organosulfur compounds from fuels can relieve increasingly serious environmental problems (e.g., gas exhaust contaminants triggering the formation of acid rain that can damage fragile ecological systems). Toward this end, novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based sorbent materials are designed and synthesized with distinct hard and soft metal building units, specifically {[Yb₆Cu₁₂(OH)₄(PyC)₁₂(H₂O)₃₆]·(NO₃)₁₄·xS} _n (QUST-81) and {[Yb₄O(H₂O)₄Cu₈(OH)_8/3(PyC)₈(HCOO)₄]·(NO₃)_10/3·xS} _n (QUST-82), where H₂PyC = 4-Pyra
