Abstract:
An organometallic zeolite which is made of a multiplicity of units, each of which is of the following formula:(X.M)m whereinM is a metal ion selected from the group consisting of Ni2+, Sn2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Mn2+, and Ru2+; X is a symmetrical porphine which coordinates to a metal ion to form an (X.M) and is substituted with at least two linking groups and optionally with one or more non-linking groups; each linking group being an oxygen-, nitrogen-, or sulfur-containing moiety and having a lone pair of electrons, and each of the non-linking groups, independently, being aryl, heteroaryl, aralkyl, or heteroaralkyl, optionally substituted with alkyl, alkoxy, hydroxyl, hydroxylalkyl, carboxyl, halo, haloalkyl, amino, aminoalkyl, mercapto, mercaptoalkyl, alkylcarbonyloxy, alkyloxycarbonyl, alkylcarbonyl, alkylcarbonylamino, aminocarbonyl, alkylsulfonylamino, aminosulfonyl, dihydroxyboryl, sulfo, or alkylsulfonyl; m is an integer ranging from 4 to 12; and provided that each (X.M)m forms a ring-shaped structure with a pore of an interior diameter of 10 to 35 Ã¥ and the non-linking group of each X.M, if present, is located inside a pore; the linking group of each X.M coordinates to the metal ion of a neighboring X.M and the metal ion of each X.M further coordinates to a linking group of a neighboring X.M; and each (X.M)m shares an X.M with each of its neighboring (X.M)m; or a salt thereof.
