Abstrakt: The effects of impurities on reaction precursors for metal-organic framework (MOF) synthesis have not been studied in extensive detail. The impact of these impurities can be an important factor while considering scale-up of these materials. In this work, we study the apparently positive impact of the presence of manganese ions for the synthesis of a Co-based MOF, Massey University Framework-16 (MUF-16). The presence of a trace amount of manganese in the reaction mixture led to consistently high CO 2 uptake across multiple batches. Characterization including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy led us to hypothesize that the differences in CO 2 adsorption among materials with differing synthesis routes arise from variations in the local environment around the cobalt metal center. Aided by density functional theory calculations, we speculate that manganese ions get inserted into the structure during crystallization and act as catalysts for ligand substitution, improving the possibility for octahedral coordination of cobalt with the ligand, thus leading to Co-based pristine structures with higher CO 2 uptakes.
