In order to clarify the adsorption mechanism of the zeolitic imidazolate framework, ZIF-8, for bulky molecules larger than its aperture diameter, the local structure of ZIF-8 and its host-guest interactions were studied by adsorption kinetics, potential energy analysis, and solid-state H nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) spectroscopy. Adsorption kinetics measurements lead to apparent diffusion coefficients for CS, CDCl, and CCl in ZIF-8 that provide residence times for each molecule in the ZIF-8 micropores. Potential energy analyses using van der Waals pairwise interactions reveal two kinds of feasible sites for bulky molecules in the ZIF-8 micropores, where there are minimal intermolecular interactions between an adsorbate and the pore wall. Each site lies on one of the four diagonal axes of the cubic lattice of the ZIF-8 unit cell. One set of sites corresponds to the side of the micropore where methyl groups form a bottleneck, and the other to the side where CH moieties form the bottleneck. Second-moment analysis of the H-NMR resonance line reveals that the 2-methylimidazolate rings undergo flip motions, with flip angles of ~55°, in addition to the rapid axial rotations of their methyl groups. Temperature-dependent spin-lattice relaxation time analyses indicate that adsorptions of these molecules reduce the motions of the 2-methylimidazolate rings. In particular, steric hindrance from bulky molecules such as CDCl and CCl significantly lowers the flipping frequency of the 2-methylimidazolate ring. The flipping of the 2-methylimidazolate ring results in instantaneous aperture expansion that enables bulky molecules to pass through the ZIF-8 aperture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
