An X-ray absorption spectroscopy study of the UiO-67 Pt functionalized metal organic frameworks (MOFs) demonstrates that under appropriate conditions, at least two types of catalytically active sites can be formed in the cavities of the MOF: isolated Pt-complexes and Pt nanoparticles (Pt-NPs). Both pre-made linker synthesis (PMLS) and post-synthesis functionalization (PSF) methods were adopted. XAS was used to monitor the temperature-dependent behaviour of UiO-67-Pt while heating from RT to 623 K, in different gas feeds (pure He, 3% H/He and 10% H/He). We collected static in situ Pt L XANES and EXAFS spectra at room temperature (RT) before and after the thermal treatment, as well as spectra acquired under operando conditions upon heating. Under 10% H/He thermal treatment, we unambiguously detected Pt-NP formation which has been followed by a parametric EXAFS analysis of the data collected during temperature programmed H-reduction (TPR), using the Einstein model to predict the temperature dependence of the Debye-Waller factors. Conversely, in pure He flow, the only significant change observed during TPR is the progressive decrease of the Pt-Cl single scattering contribution, leading to the conclusion that the Pt grafted to the bpydc-linkers remains naked. Advanced EXAFS/TEM analysis allowed us to quantify the fraction of Pt in the form of Pt-NPs, values that have been quantitatively confirmed by linear combination analysis of the XANES spectra. In situ XANES/EXAFS study was supported by ex situ XRPD and BET analyses, confirming the framework stability and testifying a loss of the internal volume after TPR due to the formation of Pt-NPs insides the MOF pores, more relevant in the sample where smaller Pt-NPs were formed.
对UiO - 67铂功能化金属有机框架(MOF)的X射线吸收光谱研究表明,在适当条件下,MOF的空腔中可形成至少两种类型的催化活性位点:孤立的铂配合物和铂纳米颗粒(Pt - NPs)。采用了预制连接体合成(PMLS)和后合成功能化(PSF)两种方法。利用X射线吸收光谱(XAS)监测在不同气体进料(纯氦气、3%氢气/氦气和10%氢气/氦气)中,UiO - 67 - Pt从室温(RT)加热到623 K时随温度变化的行为。我们在热处理前后的室温(RT)下收集了静态原位铂L边X射线吸收近边结构(XANES)和扩展X射线吸收精细结构(EXAFS)光谱,以及加热过程中在操作条件下获取的光谱。在10%氢气/氦气热处理下,我们明确检测到了Pt - NP的形成,随后使用爱因斯坦模型预测德拜 - 瓦勒因子的温度依赖性,对程序升温氢气还原(TPR)过程中收集的数据进行了参数EXAFS分析。相反,在纯氦气流中,TPR过程中观察到的唯一显著变化是Pt - Cl单散射贡献的逐渐降低,得出的结论是接枝到bpydc - 连接体上的铂保持裸露状态。先进的EXAFS/透射电子显微镜(TEM)分析使我们能够量化以Pt - NPs形式存在的铂的比例,这些值已通过XANES光谱的线性组合分析得到定量确认。原位XANES/EXAFS研究得到了非原位X射线粉末衍射(XRPD)和比表面积与孔径分布(BET)分析的支持,证实了框架的稳定性,并证明TPR后由于MOF孔内形成Pt - NPs导致内部体积损失,在形成较小Pt - NPs的样品中更为明显。
