Chromatography in a Single Metal−Organic Framework (MOF) Crystal

Abstract: Millimeter-sized single MOF-5 crystals are used as "chromatographic columns" to effectively separate mixtures of organic dyes. Remarkably, owing to the nanoscopic pore dimensions and the molecular-level interactions between the migrating molecules and the MOF scaffold, the separations occur over a distance of only a few hundred micrometers which is unambiguously confirmed by fluorescence confocal microscopy.

“…The tunable pore sizes and functionalities of the nm sized pores of MOFs are clearly of 95 interest for this application, and a few studies reporting separation using MOFs as chromatographic stationary phases (CSPs) are known 85 , including in single MOF crystals. 86 In order to improve their separation capability, and monodispersity and packing density in chromatography columns however, the preparation of MOF-composite CSPs is emerging as a powerful strategy. Ameloot et al have prepared MOF-silica composite particles as 10 stationary phases in liquid chromatography by first impregnating commercial unmodified Nucleosil 100-3 (100 Å pore size, 3 µm particles) silica with a HKUST-1 seeding solution, whereby MOF deposition is induced by solvent evaporation.…”

“…Although ion-exchange of small or bulky guest species into charged frameworks has been observed [6][7][8][9][10]31 , most of the studies were focused on the capture of specific metal ions 6,7 or the enhancement of gas-sorption capability 8 . There are also examples of liquid chromatography for organic dyes using Zn MOFs with neutral framework [33][34][35] , which are less likely to involve ion-exchange.…”
