Popis: UiO-66 and a muconic acid functionalized derivative of UiO-66 (UiO-66-MA) were synthesized via the solvothermal method to determine if the muconic acid could undergo a cheletropic reaction in the presence of sulfur dioxide inside the metal-organic framework (MOF). Both MOFs were exposed to a constant flow of sulfur dioxide, and UiO-66-MA was observed to take up three times more sulfur dioxide than unfunctionalized UiO-66. Despite the improved uptake of sulfur dioxide in UiO-66-MA, NMR and IR data indicate that no chemical change occurred to the muconic acid indicating that a cheletropic reaction did not occur. We thus propose that the increased adsorption is due to either an interaction between the sulfur dioxide and unbound carboxylic acid from the muconic acid or a favourable interaction between the butadiene of muconic acid and sulfur dioxide.
