The present invention relates to multi-directional polydentate ligands for metal-organic hybrid structures and a metal-organic hybrid structures including the same.
A Schiff base is formed through the condensation of an amine and an aldehyde. The Schiff base is commonly found in the living system. For example, the amine functional group of a lysine residue of an enzyme intermediate reversibly reacts with a cofactor or substrate. Here, the enzyme cofactor PLP forms a Schiff base with a lysine residue, and is involved in the transaldimidation reaction of a substrate. Through a similar mechanism, a retinal cofactor forms a Schiff base with a lysine residue of rhodopsin.
Further, the Schiff base is one of the representative ligands in coordination chemistry. The nitrogen donor atom has both nucleophilicity and Lewis basicity, and could simultaneously exhibit a 7-acceptor property as well. Representative multidentate ligands based on the Schiff base motif include salen-type ligands. In particular, chiral Schiff bases have been used extensively as ligands for asymmetric catalysis. When the Schiff base is used as the backbone of multidentate ligands to support metal centers of planar coordination geometry, porous network materials can constructed, which have unobstructed channels to facilitate the access of substrates to the metal sites.
A Schiff base involved in π-conjugation also exhibits various photoelectronic properties. Based on this property, many composite materials having Schiff base functional groups are being used as key electronic components of organic solar cells or perovskite solar cells. Further, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) of Schiff bases are emerging as next-generation molecule-based materials that exploit the reversibility of amine-aldehyde condensation reaction.
To take full advantage of the unique structural, chemical, and photoelectronic properties of the Schiff base, studies for preparing a new framework connected as a two-dimensional or three-dimensional network structure are actively in progress. For example, according to a recently reported document (R. Banerjee et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2016, 138, 2823-2828), the aldehyde groups of 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol, which is a molecule of D3h symmetry, are condensed with guanidinium having amine groups positioned in three directions to form an ionic covalent organic framework having Schiff base linkages. According to another document (P. Sun et al. Cryst. Growth. Des. 2015, 15, 5360-5367), a ligand prepared using Schiff base condensation is reacted with gold to form a metallogel.
The present inventors designed Schiff base-derived multidirectional ligands to maximize the number of metal-ligand bonds, confirmed that metal-organic hybrid structures with network topology are formed through supramolecular interaction with multinuclear repeating units growing bidirectionally, and completed the present invention.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a multi-directional polydentate ligand having wide expandability in terms of its structure and functions, for the preparation of a metal-organic hybrid structure.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a metal-organic hybrid structure based on the multi-directional polydentate ligand.
The present invention provides a compound represented by the following Chemical Formula 1, or a salt thereof:
in the Chemical Formula 1,
R's are each independently, —R1, —NH—CO—R2, or —NH—R2,
R1's are each independently, —OH, a C6-60 aryl, a C1-10 alkyl, or an amino acid residue, and
R2's are a C1-10 alkyl, a C6-60 aryl, or a C4-60 heteroaryl containing one of N, O, and S.
The compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is a compound for preparing a metal-organic hybrid structure that exhibits porosity, electrical conductivity, and electrochromism.
Preferably, R1's are each independently —OH, phenyl, naphthyl, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, tert-pentyl, neopentyl, isopentyl, sec-pentyl, 3-pentyl, or an amino acid residue selected from the group consisting of alanine, cysteine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, phenylalanine, histidine, isoleucine, lysine, leucine, methionine, asparagine, pyrrolysine, glutamine, arginine, serine, threonine, selenocysteine, valine, tryptophan, and tyrosine.
The amino acid residue means a structure excluding the amine group in the structure of an amino acid. The amine group condenses with aldehyde to form imine. For example, in the case of alanine, the amino acid residue is propionic acid, which is the structure excluding an amine group in the structure of alanine.
Further, preferably, R2 is methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, tert-pentyl, neopentyl, isopentyl, sec-pentyl, 3-pentyl, hexyl, octyl, phenyl, naphthyl, or pyridinyl.
Further, when compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 includes a carboxy group, it may exist in the form of a salt, wherein the counter ion may be Na+, K+, etc.
Representative examples of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 include compounds represented by the following Chemical Formulas 1-1 to 1-5:
The compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 has a biphenyl scaffold, and it is capable of charge transfer through π-conjugation. Further, the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 has hydroxy groups on each benzene ring, has two imine groups at the ortho-positions to the hydroxy group. It can coordinate to metal ions through such hydroxy groups and imine groups.
Further, the present invention provides a metal-organic hybrid structure formed by the coordinate bonding of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 with metal ions.
Particularly, the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is characterized in that, in addition to the hydroxy groups and imine groups, the substituent R on the imine group may have a R1 substituent, an imide bond (—NH—CO—R2), or an amine group (—NH—R2) that can additionally coordinate with metal ions. Thus, in addition to the coordinate bonds with metal ions through the hydroxy groups and imine groups, additional coordinate bonding with metal ions is possible, and thus, the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and metal ions form two-dimensional or three-dimensional network structures. A representative example of the network structure of the metal-organic hybrid structure is shown in
In the metal-organic hybrid structure of the present invention, the organic ligand of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and metal ions are bonded to form network structures. Among such materials, those having crystallinity are referred to as MOFs (metal-organic frameworks), while those having entrapped solvents without crystallinity are referred to as gel. It is expected that, in such network structure, charge transport is facilitated through the π-conjugation of the biphenol skeleton of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and the coordinated metal ions.
Further, as explained above, the charge transport in the network may be bidirectional or multidirectional rather than unidirectional. Thus, compared to polymers capable of charge transport only through π-conjugation, or polymers capable of unidirectional charge transport, in the metal-organic hybrid structure of the present invention, charge transfer is facilitated, electrical conductivity is remarkably improved, and long distance charge transfer may be expected. In addition, new electrical properties that are difficult to realize with purely organic-based conductive polymers may be expected through the interactions between redox-active transition metal centers that are capable of multi-electron transfer, and redox-active π-conjugated ligands.
The metals of the metal ions are not specifically limited, and for example, may include lanthanide metals such as Tb, Eu, Yb, etc., as well as Period 1 transition metals such as Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, etc., Period 2 transition metals such as Zr, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, etc., and Period 3 transition metal such as Ir, Pt, Au, etc.
Further, the metal-organic hybrid structure may be prepared by mixing the above-explained compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and the precursor of the metal. Here, it is preferable to use a base so that the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 may be ionized, and for example, an amine (triethylamine), etc. may be used.
The metal-organic hybrid structure in a gel form, according to the present invention, is characterized by the characteristic optical transitions with strong absorptivity in the visible wavelength region, which arise from charge-transfer (CT) electronic transitions. Particularly, it can maintain the gel form even at a high temperature (about 140° C.), which results from the stability of metal-organic network due to the two-dimensional or three-dimensional network structure through the coordinate bond of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 and metal ions.
In addition, since this metal-organic hybrid structure includes metal ions, it can be used as a catalyst where such metal ions are used. Particularly, since the metal ions are arranged at a regular interval in the metal-organic hybrid structure, catalytic activity may be further improved. Further, since the optical properties are changed according to the state of the metal ions, it can be applied for various sensors using the same. Moreover, since the metal-organic hybrid structure according to the present invention is porous, it can be applied for gas separation or gas adsorption.
The present invention provides a method for preparing the above-explained compound represented by Chemical Formula 1, as shown in the following Reaction Formula 1.

Specifically, the preparation method includes the steps of: reacting a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1′, a compound represented by Chemical Formula 2′, and trifluoroacetic acid to prepare a compound represented by Chemical Formula 3′ (Step 1); and reacting the compound represented by Chemical Formula 3′ with a compound represented by Chemical Formula 4′ (Step 2).
Step 1 is a Duff reaction, wherein aldehyde groups are substituted at the ortho-positions to the hydroxy groups of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1′.
Preferably, the mole ratio of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1′ and the compound represented by the Chemical Formula 2′ is 1:20. Further, the trifluoroacetic acid also functions as a solvent, and it is preferably used such that it may dissolve both the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1′ and the compound represented by Chemical Formula 2′.
Preferably, the reaction temperature of Step 1 is 100° C. to 150° C. Further, preferably, the reaction time of Step 1 is 1 day to 10 days.
After the reaction of Step 1, a step of obtaining the product may be conducted. For example, the reaction mixture may be added to an excess amount (1 mole to 5 moles) of hydrochloric acid, and stirred for 1 day to 3 days to obtain a precipitate. For the purification thereof, the precipitate may be recrystallized with dimethylsulfoxide to obtain a compound represented by Chemical Formula 3′.
Step 2 is the reaction of aldehyde and hydroxyamine to form aldoxime, wherein the aldoxime is formed at the aldehyde group of the compound represented by Chemical Formula 3′. In the compound represented by Chemical Formula 4′, R is as defined as in Chemical Formula 1.
As the solvent of the reaction of Step 2, water, a C1-4 alcohol, or a mixed solvent thereof may be preferably used, and a water/ethanol mixed solvent or a water/methanol mixed solvent is more preferable.
After the reaction of Step 2, a step of obtaining the product may be conducted. For example, an excess amount of water may be added to filter the produced precipitate, followed by sequentially washing with water and acetone, thus obtaining a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1.
Further, when the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is obtained in the form of a gel, it may be treated with supercritical carbon dioxide to remove the solvent, as necessary.
As explained above, the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 according to the present invention can coordinate with metal ions to form a bidirectional or multidirectional metal-organic hybrid structure. Thus, the present invention can provide a precursor capable of synthesizing various ligands using amine-aldehyde condensation, and use the precursor for the synthesis of metal-organic materials.
