Abstract
Two metal-organic frameworks containing barium were synthesized hydrothermally and investigated for their catalytic properties. Ba(2)F(2)[O(3)SC(2)H(4)SO(3)] has barium fluoride layers linked by organic 1,2-ethanedisulfonate molecules. Ba[O(3)SC(2)H(4)SO(3)] has discrete barium centers arranged in layers and connected covalently by ethanedisulfonate bridges. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that Ba(2)F(2)[O(3)SC(2)H(4)SO(3)] is stable to ca. 325 °C and Ba[O(3)SC(2)H(4)SO(3)] to ca. 375 °C. These materials expand the metal-organic frameworks available for group II metals bound to organodisulfonate linkers and are potentially useful for a range of heterogeneous acid catalysis reactions.
