Combustible ice mimicking behavior of hydrogen-bonded organic framework at ambient condition

ABSTRACT Adsorption of guest molecules by porous materials proceeds in a spontaneous exothermic way, whereas desorption usually requires external energy input as an endothermic process.

Reducing such energy consumption makes great sense in practice. Here we report the reversible and automatic methanol (MeOH) adsorption/release in an ionic hydrogen-bonded organic framework

(iHOF) constructed from guanidinium cation and borate anion ([B(OCH3)4]3[C(NH2)3]4Cl•4CH3OH, termed Gd-B) at ambient condition. The metastable Gd-B automatically releases all sixteen MeOH

molecules (63.4 wt%) via desorption and tetra-methyl borate hydrolysis at ambient atmosphere and the structure can be recovered when re-exposed to MeOH vapor or liquid, mimicking combustible

ice behavior but at ambient condition. Reversible capture/release of four guest MeOH molecules is also realized without destroying its crystal structure. The combustible Gd-B paves a way

for exploring metastable iHOF materials as carrier for alternative energy source and drug delivery etc. SIMILAR CONTENT BEING VIEWED BY OTHERS VITRIFICATION-ENABLED ENHANCEMENT OF PROTON

hydrate (NGH) or combustible ice, a potentially alternative energy source in place of conventional coal and oil, is receiving growing attention to address the existing energy crisis1,2. In

NGH, gas molecules (primarily methane) are trapped in solid water with a cage crystal structure under low temperature and high pressure3,4,5, which is prone to collapse and release the

trapped gas component under increasing temperature and/or reduced pressure (Fig. 1a). The recharge of methane in water that denotes the formation of NGH, is desirable but challenging as

harsh condition are of necessity (<10 °C and >30 atm)6,7. Nevertheless, it is highly revelatory for us to mimic this process for storing energy-containing materials, via molecule

inclusion during host formation and release when host breaking in mild condition, for example, ambient atmosphere. For cycling usage, the broken host materials should revert with recharge of

released guest molecules in a facial and economic way, which is impracticable for NGH. A diverse class of porous materials, including carbon, zeolites, metal organic frameworks (MOFs),

covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and porous molecular crystals etc., have been developed to function as sorbents for gas storage owing to their tunable structures, pores sizes, and high

surface area8,9,10,11,12. Although they exhibited excellent gas-storage capability, the storage/release mechanism is totally distinct from the process in NGH (Fig. 1). Specifically, these

porous materials adsorb guest molecules by virtue of high surface area and thus strong surface affinity, whereas release of guest molecules, especially for volatile organic compounds, often

needs extra energy (heating and/or vacuuming), as shown in Fig. 1b. In contrast, the methane molecules release from NGH is furious and thus out of control at ambient condition. Although a

variety of strategies on enhancing the adsorptive capacity have been extensively proposed, facial control on release of adsorbed molecules is little explored. In order to achieve

controllable and reversible adsorption/release of guest molecules, there are two possible pathways: either adjusting the guest–host interaction or controlling the reversible framework

transformation based on guest release and capture. The synergy between the two pathways can provide better control over the ad/desorption behavior. Some recent studies focused on the control

of the guest–host interactions. For example, Kim et al. reported a Zr–MOF-based device to achieve water desorption from MOF with a low solar energy input of 1 kW m−212. Cadiau et al.

developed a fluorinated MOF with a periodic array of open metal coordination sites and fluorine moieties within the one-dimensional channel, which releases adsorbed water at relatively

moderate temperature (~105 °C), about half the energy input for commonly used desiccants13. In terms of MOF and COF studies, intensive attention has been paid to improve their stability.

Nevertheless, most porous frameworks collapsing by thermodynamic and/or chemical ways cannot be recovered, which renders the second strategy inaccessible. Hydrogen-bond (H-bond) assisted

supermolecular assembly shows great structural flexibility owing to the moderate strength of H-bonds, which could be ideal candidate for controllable capture/release of guest molecules at

mild condition14,15,16,17. The past decades have witnessed the emerging progress of hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) constructed via intermolecular H-bonds18,19,20,21,22,23 H-bond

originated from electrostatic attraction is readily formed among adjacent organic molecules bearing electronegative groups, which does not ask for extra energy for reaction24. Therefore,

HOFs can be prepared via dissolving and recrystallizing of organic molecules, while the weak noncovalent interaction of H-bond renders most HOFs fragile, getting collapsed upon removal of

guest molecules18. Only few HOFs show permanent porosity for adsorption24,25,26. In addition to the reported HOFs comprising neutral organic molecules18, another type of HOFs is constructed

from cations and anions. Herein, these charge-assisted frameworks are denoted as ionic HOFs (iHOFs), in which electrostatic attraction between cations and anions plays a vital role for iHOF

assembling to strengthen the stability of established framework, beyond H-bonding and Van der Waals force17,27,28 Guanidinium cation, coupled with sulfonate [SO4]2−, has been adopted to

construct iHOFs29,30,31. In 2005, Abrahams et al. reported the synthesis and structural characterization of iHOF [B(OCH3)4]3[C(NH2)3]4Cl•4CH3OH (termed Gd-B)31. In this work, we explore the

reversible structural transformation of Gb-B upon MeOH capture and release without extra energy input, which mimics NGH in terms of the adsorption-release behavior of guest molecules while

differs in operation conditions (ambient atmosphere vs. harsh condition) and adsorbates (methanol vs. methane). Similar with combustible ice, we obtain combustible Gd-B, in which MeOH can be

directly released into air for lighting at ambient condition. RESULTS GENERAL INFORMATION AND XRD ANALYSES OF GD-B Gd-B was prepared according to the reported procedures (“Methods” section

and Supplementary Table 1)31. The borate ester anion and guanidinium cation (Fig. 2a, b) are assembled via electrostatic interaction and H-bond into framework. Each borate ester anion is

connected with four guanidinium cations via H-bond, while each guanidinium cation bridges three borate ester anions (N–H–O, N–O distance: 2.914 Å, angle: 174.68°) (Fig. 2c). The spatial

extension of these (3,4)-connected units renders a three-dimensional H-bonded framework ((63)(6284) or boracite topology) with pore size of 4.8 Å (Fig. 2d). As shown in Fig. 3a, the PXRD

patterns indicate that the crystal structure of as-prepared Gd-B keeps good consistency with that of simulated from single-crystal XRD data. And elemental analysis (Supplementary Table 2)

reveals that fresh Gd-B matches well with the formula [B(OCH3)4]3[C(NH2)3]4Cl•4CH3OH. We found that transparent regular tetrahedron of freshly prepared Gd-B turned into white powder when

exposing in air (Supplementary Fig. 1). Specifically, the fresh Gd-B gradually lost its own crystallinity upon exposure in air, i.e., for 6 h (Supplementary Fig. 2). Prolonged exposure led

to structural transformation and produced a new phase (for example, air drying for 24 h) totally different from fresh Gd-B (Fig. 3a). We did not observe further phase transformation by

exposure in air up to 72 h, indicating the favorable stability of the transformed powder phase (Supplementary Fig. 2). Importantly, when this powder (termed air-dried Gd-B) was exposed to

MeOH vapor, for example 24 h, the structure of Gd-B can be recovered (Fig. 3a). This reversible structural transformation can also be realized by directly dissolving the powder in liquid

MeOH and recrystallizing via MeOH evaporation (Supplementary Fig. 3). All these processes took place at ambient condition. Also, the air-dried Gd-B can be readily dissolved in H2O and

crystallized into guanidinium tetraborate dihydrate ([C(NH2)3]2[B4O5(OH)4]•2H2O, Supplementary Fig. 4)32, which was stable in air atmosphere but turned into Gd-B again when dissolving and

recrystallizing in MeOH (Supplementary Methods and Supplementary Fig. 5). These findings illustrate that Gd-B undergoes reversible structure transformation upon release and re-adsorption of

MeOH. Furthermore, the H-bonded framework of Gd-B can be maintained upon vacuum drying of both fresh Gd-B (Supplementary Fig. 6) and recovered Gd-B (Fig. 3a). NMR ANALYSES OF GD-B We further

carried out the 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR analyses over Gd-B samples. As shown in Fig. 3b, fresh Gd-B features two peaks at 3.17 ppm and 4.04 ppm, which are assigned to hydrogen from the −CH3 and

−OH groups in MeOH, respectively. Note that the detection of −NH2 linked groups within the structure is not available using 1H-NMR analysis, owing to the existence of active protons that may

drift over a wide range of chemical shifts33. After vacuum drying for 24 h, in spite of removing MeOH guest molecules, the same 1H chemical shifts are evidenced from the −OCH3 group in

borate ester (Fig. 2a). Further 13C-NMR tests (Fig. 3c) confirm the existence of the ester group −OCH3, as the peak at 48.59 ppm can be detected even after vacuum drying over fresh Gd-B for

1 h. However, this peak indicative of −OCH3 is absent in air-dried Gd-B samples, suggesting the decomposition of the framework upon interaction with moisture in ambient atmosphere. When the

air-dried Gd-B was exposed to MeOH vapor for 24 h, reversible structural transformation was observed, as indicated by the peak at 48.59 ppm, which is identical with that of fresh Gd-B. As

for the 1H-NMR spectra of air-dried Gd-B samples, the chemical shift at ~3.17 ppm gets continuously weakened and finally disappears with prolonging exposure in air for drying (Fig. 3d). All

these results match well with XRD analyses. STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATION OF GD-B Combined with Gd-B crystal structure, XRD, and NMR analyses, we could come to a convincing interpretation of the

structure transformation during its exposure in air and structural restoration as displayed in Fig. 4. Fresh Gd-B firstly loses the accommodated 4 MeOH molecules at the beginning of

exposure in air; subsequently, borate ester anion of [B(OCH3)4]− gets hydrolyzed by moisture and further releases 12 MeOH molecules (Supplementary Fig. 7). Upon exposure to MeOH, the

residual white powder (air-dried Gd-B) experiences the formation of borate ester to re-build the Gd-B framework and adsorption of MeOH to fill in the cavity, giving rise to the restoration

of Gd-B crystal structure (path 1 in Fig. 4). Alternatively, the restoration process can be facilitated by two-step recrystallization, benefiting from the facial transformation among

[B(OH)4], [B4O5(OH)4] (Supplementary Fig. 4) and [B(OCH3)4] groups (path 2 in Fig. 4). It is also evidenced that vacuum treatment can only remove the MeOH existing as a guest molecule and

Gd-B framework structure remains intact (Supplementary Fig. 6). We experimentally confirm the Gd-B structure collapse and reconstruction with MeOH release and capture, which mimics the NGH

behavior for energetic molecules storage, but under mild condition without extra energy input. ADSORPTION AND RELEASE BEHAVIOR OF GD-B As MeOH in Gd-B HOF can be readily released in air, we

directly activated fresh Gd-B sample via vacuum at room temperature for nitrogen isotherm measurement. Nitrogen ad/desorption at 77 K reveals a typical type-I isotherm with a specific

surface area of 257 m2 g−1 (Fig. 5a), and Gd-B exposed to N2 atmosphere at varied pressure during the test signifies its stability in inert gas, where structural transformation into

air-dried Gd-B will not take place. The pore size distribution indicates a primary pore size of ~4.85 Å (Supplementary Fig. 8), which is in line with the structural analysis in Fig. 2d. The

H2 adsorption amount at 77 K is determined to be ca. 50 cm3 g−1. The sample exhibits a CO2 adsorption of ca. 13 cm3 g−1 at 298 K. The obvious hysteresis is ascribed to the strong interaction

between acidic CO2 and the amino group of guanidinium cation in Gd-B; similar hysteresis has also been reported in amino-functionalized MOFs that enhance CO2 adsorption34,35. Encouraged by

the reversible structure collapse and restoration of Gd-B upon release and adsorption of MeOH at ambient condition without extra energy input, MeOH sorption behaviors are evaluated in more

details to reveal these processes and provide guidance for rational design of functional materials as carriers for alternative energy source. Specifically, we collected MeOH-sorption

isotherms over nonporous air-dried Gd-B (Supplementary Fig. 9) at 298 K for multiple runs (Fig. 5b), where after each run, the sample is online evacuated for activation without exposure to

air. For the first run, MeOH adsorption over air-dried Gd-B reaches up to 417 cm3 g−1, corresponding to 59.6 wt% of MeOH in fresh Gd-B that contains 16 methoxyl groups. The MeOH adsorption

capability is high among the reported adsorbents, which is comparable with MIL-100 having specific area >3000 m2 g−1 (Supplementary Table 3). The result shows little deviation from

theoretically calculated value (63.4 wt%). It is noted that at initial stage, there is no MeOH adsorption occurring till the P/P0 of 0.45. Subsequently, MeOH adsorption increases steeply,

indicating a breakthrough point. The adsorption amount of ~117 cm3 g−1 (0.167 g g−1) at breakthrough point that accounts for about 1/4 of the total adsorption amount, corresponding to

physically adsorbed four MeOH molecules in the formula of [B(OCH3)4]3[C(NH2)3]4Cl•4CH3OH. The remaining 3/4 adsorption amount of ~300 cm3 g−1 (0.429 g g−1) is identified at higher relative

pressure, corresponding to 12 methoxyl groups on borate ester in Gd-B. However, we realized that physical adsorption cannot be reached prior to Gd-B framework restoration. We carried out the

2nd run ad/desorption test after vacuum treatment over the air-dried Gd-B. The isotherm indicates that the breakthrough point disappears and the total adsorption amount is decreased to be

ca. ~300 cm3 g−1. Subsequent 3rd and 4th runs of ad/desorption also show continuous decrease of MeOH adsorption amount (Fig. 5b). The MeOH sorption behavior of the 5th run is almost

identical with that in 4th run (Supplementary Fig. 10). Meanwhile, fresh Gb-B treated by vacuum exhibits the almost overlapped sorption isotherm with that of air-dried sample at 5th run

(Fig. 5c), with a saturated adsorption amount of 118 cm3 g−1 and 116 cm3 g−1, respectively. This is in line with physically adsorbed four MeOH molecules in Gd-B. As demonstrated by the XRD

results (Fig. 3a), the complete recovery of Gd-B structure from air-dried Gd-B sample in MeOH vapor is a kinetic process that requires a period of hours. This is also reflected in the

continuous MeOH sorption tests in Fig. 5b, where only part of adsorbed MeOH participates in Gd-B reconstruction in each run of sorption owing to kinetic factor. The MeOH adsorption ratio of

1:3 in air-dried Gd-B sample in 1st run (Fig. 5b) can be explained by the partial formation of borate ester at breakthrough point, rather than physical adsorption prior to Gd-B framework

formation. Under vacuum treatment, borate ester is stable so that the adsorption amount of subsequent runs continuously reduces till all borate ester groups have been re-generated (after

four runs). The results indicate that the restoration of air-dried Gd-B to Gd-B follows a stepwise way as demonstrated in Supplementary Fig. 11. Our combined findings on sorption tests over

both air-dried and fresh Gd-B further support the reversible structure transformation of Gd-B. The cycling performance of MeOH adsorption–desorption of fresh Gd-B was also evaluated (Fig. 

5d), which suggests no apparent adsorption capability loss for cycling usage. It is well documented that a diverse class of MOFs and other nanoporous materials exhibit much higher MeOH

adsorption amount, while high temperature and reduced pressure are of necessity to release MeOH from the parent framework36,37,38,39,40,41. In sharp contrast, MeOH adsorbed in iHOF of Gd-B

can automatically release MeOH at ambient condition. Interestingly, the accommodated MeOH molecules in Gd-B can be directly released at ambient condition for lighting (Supplementary Movie 1)

without structural collapse (Supplementary Fig. 12). It is also verified by the example that HKUST-1-adsorbed MeOH cannot be lighted in air, though HKUST-1 can adsorb much more MeOH,

because very little MeOH can be released from HKUST-1 at ambient condition. DISCUSSION Our findings reveal that metastable Gd-B is an excellent MeOH carrier as it captures and releases MeOH

that accounts for about 60% of Gd-B weight, based on its automatic and reversible structural transformation at ambient condition. Intensive studies on porous frameworks have been focused and

advanced on their chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability for the long-term durability towards certain applications. Relatively weak intermolecular interactions like H-bond, Van der

Waals, and electrostatic forces usually lead to metastable frameworks, which are considered to be a disadvantage. However, release of the volatile organic compound (VOC) and then reuse of

adsorbents require extra energy input to eliminate the guest–host interactions. Reversible structure transformation upon guest molecules adsorption and release under mild condition greatly

benefits energetic material unitization, moisture capture/release. Such metastable frameworks are also potential candidates for drug delivery. METHODS CHEMICALS AND MATERIALS Guanidine

hydrochloride (CN3H5•HCl, AR, ≥99.5%) and boric acid (H3BO3, AR, 99%) were purchased from Shanghai Macklin Biochemical Co. Ltd. (China). Methanol (MeOH, AR, ≥99.5%) and trietrylamine (TEA,

AR, ≥99%) were purchased from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. (China). Dimethyl sulfoxide-d6 was purchased from Adamas-Beta. CHARACTERIZATION Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) tests were

carried out on a Rigaku MiniFlex 600 X-ray diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation (_λ_ = 1.54178 Å). Elemental analyses (EA) were completed with a Vario EL III Elemental Analyzer (Elementar

Inc.). The 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AVANCE AV III 400WB spectrometer operating at 400 MHz. Gas-sorption isotherms were measured at 77 K or 298 K, and methanol

vapor sorption isotherms were measured at 298 K on a BEL sorp-max machine, BEL, Japan. PREPARATION OF GD-B SINGLE CRYSTAL Gd-B was synthesized according to previously reported procedures

(CCDC number: 1686051)31. Briefly, 1.86 g CN3H5•HCl was dissolved in 21 mL MeOH to form colorless solution, which was further mixed with the solution prepared by dissolving 0.6 g H3BO3 into

24 mL MeOH that contained 1.35 mL TEA. The resultant mixed solution was subjected to free standing for 12 h in an open vial, upon which large amount of colorless tetrahedral crystal can be

obtained at room temperature. The sample was further washed with MeOH quickly and then collected by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm/min for 3 min. The sample is denoted as Gd-B. REVERSIBLE

STRUCTURE TRANSFORMATION OF GD-B The freshly prepared Gd-B single crystal turned into wet white powder when exposed in air. The Gd-B powder (50 mg) stored in the tube (5 mL) was placed into

a 100-mL beaker which contained 30 mL of MeOH and covered by sealing film, upon which an artificial MeOH vapor atmosphere was created. The powder was exposed in the vapor for 24 h to

complete the recovery process of Gd-B structure. An alternative way to realize the reversible structural transformation can be realized by directly dissolving 20 mg of white powder into 0.7 

mL of MeOH solvent. The tetrahedral colorless single crystals were obtained later after dissolution and recrystallization for 12 h. Being similar with the recrystallization in MeOH, 20 mg

air-dried Gd-B was dissolved in 0.7 mL of H2O and subjected to recrystallization for 72 h under air atmosphere. This process resulted in the formation of colorless single crystal with

different structure from Gd-B, which was a known structure reported by T. J. R. Weakley and named as guanidinium tetraborate dihydrate ([CN3H6]2[B4O5(OH)4]·2H2O, Supplementary Fig. 4, CCDC

number: 1132636)32. Subsequently, 20 mg of the crystal, which was stable in air atmosphere, was grinded into white powder and dissolved in 1 mL of MeOH by gentle sonication for several

minutes. The solution was then subjected to recrystallization for 24 h under air atmosphere, upon which Gd-B single crystal can be obtained. MEOH SORPTION OVER AIR-DRIED AND FRESH GD-B The

fresh Gd-B crystal was exposed in air for 24 h to transform into the powder form with no further structural change. Next, the powder (air-dried Gd-B) was subjected to vacuum for 12 h (10−7 

Pa) at 60 °C prior to MeOH sorption test at 298 K. To confirm the structural collapse and recovery, the air-dried Gd-B was directly subjected to multiple-run MeOH sorption test at 298 K. For

each run, the sample was online-activated on the sorption machine by vacuum without air interference. The fresh Gd-B, [B(OCH3)4]3[C(NH2)3]4Cl•4CH3OH, was vacuumed for 24 h (10−7 Pa) at room

temperature to initiate MeOH sorption test at 298 K. The sorption result of fresh Gd-B was compared with the fifth-run sorption of air-dried Gd-B, which had completed structural recovery

through four runs of MeOH ad/desorption tests. AUTOMATIC RELEASE OF FOUR GUEST MEOH MOLECULES FROM BULKY GD-B Typically, fresh Gd-B stored in MeOH was collected and put onto filter paper,

upon which the surface attached MeOH on Gd-B were removed. Subsequently, the fresh Gd-B crystal (500 mg) was placed into a silica tube (length: 15 cm, inner diameter: 10 mm) and covered by

sealing film. The tube was left untouched for 30 min to be fully filled with released MeOH guest molecules. A cigarette lighter was then placed at the tube outlet to ignite the released

guest MeOH molecules from bulky Gd-B, the flame can last for few seconds (Supplementary Movie 1). After that, the sample was weighed to evaluate the mass change before and after ignition.

Also, the crystal structure of Gd-B after ignition was examined by XRD. DATA AVAILABILITY All data generated or analyzed during this study are included in this article and its Supplementary
