  • SBUs Secondary building units
  • the synthetic method generally consists of mixing two solutions containing the hydrophilic metal and the hydrophobic organic component (organic linker) , using hydrothermal or solvothermal techniques.
  • organic linker usually rigid systems are preferred over flexible ones as they give crystalline, porous, and stable MOFs.
  • Different varieties of organic linkers have been used but mostly polycarboxylic molecules and polyazaheterocycles are used.
  • MOFs are one of the most speedily rising fields in chemical and material sciences, not only due to the beautiful structural topologies but also because of their potential as functional materials in various applications. MOFs are currently eliciting noteworthy attention for their prospective applications in gas storage, purification, molecular sensing, drug delivery, biomedicines, photoluminescence, molecular based magnetisms, and photo catalysis. 3
  • MOF based catalysis depends on the active sites; both metal centers and organic linker contribute to catalytic activity.
  • the organic bridging linkers may be used as scaffolds to which distinct catalytic complexes, bio-molecules, and homogeneous catalysts can be immobilized or encapsulated.
  • the synthetic flexibility of MOF enables considerable control over size and environment of the pores, allowing selectivity to be tuned more effectively.
  • MOF pores can serve as guest hosts for small molecules (active homogeneous catalysts) or as supports for metal or metal oxide nanoparticles and even enzymes.
  • MOFs metal-organic chemical synthesis
  • a wide variety of MOFs have been designed with various transition metals as well as different polytopic ligands and screened in heterogeneous catalysis of organic transformations but still there are hundreds of MOF materials that have not been explored for catalysis. Therefore, the use of MOFs in catalysis is extremely broad and increasing continuously.
  • the chemical industry has emerged as a vibrant part of the world economy. However, the production of chemicals also leads to a massive magnitude of environmentally harmful wastes. Heterogeneous catalysis is playing an increasingly imperative role in chemical manufacturing, often with the result of a major reduction in waste.

  • the advantage of applying MOFs as catalysts is related to their heterogeneous nature, which is superior to homogeneous catalysis because of easier separation,
  • MOFs metal/cluster is usually completely coordinated and blocked by organic linkers 6 Therefore, the design of defect structures in MOFs can possibly enhance the amount of catalytic sites at the nodes of these frameworks.
  • 23 7 Tailoring the defects in MOFs is essential for establishing the structure-property relationships for targeted applications, such as shape-and size-selective adsorption, and complex site-driven catalysis and sensing.
  • the first strategy uses a proper mixture of mono-and/or poly-dentate ligands to create the defects in MOFs.
  • the ratio of linker/metal is crucial in the design and creation of defect structures, however, this is limited to certain MOFs (bearing many linkers in one secondary building unit such as UiO-66 (Zr) or UiO-66 (Hf) ) 11-13
  • the second strategy is focused on the acceleration of synthesis via addition of a strong deprotonating agent resulting in a very fast reaction (kinetically driven process) leading to the creation of defect structures while still retaining the original MOF structure. 14, 15

  • IM imidazolate linkers
  • 16 ZIF-8 consists of Zn-ions bridged with 2-methylimidazole (2-IM) and represents a sodalite zeolite-type topology in MOF materials see in figure 1.
  • ZIF-8 of this invention exhibits a very high surface area, its structure is chemically (including water) and thermally stable, and catalytically active, and was therefore used as the criteria for the MOF platform for catalytic applications.
  • ZIF-8 is an ideal candidate for numerous industrial applications among the MOFs. 17 The ZIF-8 series was prepared by using different methods to demonstrate the effect of synthesis procedure on the amount of created defect structures.
  • SEM Scanning Electron Microscopy
  • the rhombic dodecahedron crystals were obtained by using conventional room temperature synthesis (ZIF-8-RT) and the well-defined truncated rhombic dodecahedral crystals were formed during solvothermal synthesis (ZIF-8-SV) . Furthermore, the average size of crystals obtained via room temperature conventional synthesis is much smaller than that for crystals prepared by solvothermal method (ZIF-8-RT: 50 ⁇ m and ZIF-8-SV: 60 ⁇ m) . So, in general the following sequence of crystal size is obtained for the different procedures: ZIF-8-SV > ZIF-8-SP > ZIF-8-MW > ZIF-8-RT.
  • the structure evolution is affected by the preparation procedure a fast crystal growth occurs during spray drying synthesis (SP) , which assures rapid crystallization (small droplets and growth accelerated by short heating time) and a stable cube-shaped morphology.
  • SP spray drying synthesis
  • Longer crystal growth transforms the cube-shaped morphology into a truncated-cube edged morphology, represented by a rhombic dodecahedron.
  • This gradual evolution in the ZIF-8 crystal shape from cubic morphology (spray drying synthesis) to the rhombic dodecahedron morphology is formed respectively under microwave, conventional room temperature and solvothermal conditions.
  • Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis was conducted to evaluate the thermal stability of the ZIF-8 samples obtained by the different procedures (SP, MW, RT, SV) .
  • the TG curves start from room temperature up to 350°C displaying a good thermal stability of the frameworks for all samples.
  • the first thermal event observed from 350 to 450 °C corresponds to the exothermic decomposition of the partial bridging ligand (2-MIM) , which is in a good agreement with literature. 17 It is worth noting that before TG analyses all samples were activated at 200 °C under vacuum for 200 min and as a consequence no solvent molecules and guest molecules were detected in the thermogram. For the ZIF-8-SP sample the highest weight loss was observed during 350 –400 °C.

  • the Knoevenagel condensation reaction is very important in the context of the pharmaceutical industry. This reaction is a classic C-C bond formation between aldehydes or ketones and malonnitril.
  • 4-bromobenzaldehyde and malononitrile are used as substrates and ZIF-8 series (SP, MW, RT, SV) as catalyst for the Knoevenagel reaction. It was observed that ZIF-8-SP demonstrated the highest catalytic performance followed by, ZIF-8-MW, ZIF-8-RT and ZIF-8-SV respectively.
  • ZIF-8 has strong Lewis acid sites (in particular Zn 2+ species) together with basic ones (2-methylimidazolate, ligands) using FT-IR CO adsorption analyses combined with DFT calculations. 21 Moreover, in general for many catalytic reactions it is reported that acidic and basic sites are reactive centers in catalytic reactions to obtain a good catalytic performance. 22 This assumption confirmed that those sites are present and are represented by the “defects” of ZIF-8. The amount of these reactive centers depends on the synthesis procedure e.g. SP, MW, SV, RT and a correlation can be made between the amount of defects and the catalytic performance (the higher the amount of defects the better the catalytic performance) .
  • probe molecules are important to elucidate the nature of defects, defects amounts (concentration) and also to investigate the modified adsorption or reactive properties of defect structures.
  • the use of various probe molecules has been reported including CO, CO 2 , CD 3 CN etc.

Abstract

A creation of defects (defect structures) in Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) which generates imperfect MOFs (iMOFs) and the quantization of the defects in iMOFs are disclosed. The catalytic activity of iMOFs is also disclosed. In particular, the crystal growth-driven creation of defects (amount and type) in metal-organic frameworks which result in iMOFs are disclosed by using different synthesis procedures. The type of synthesis procedure, such as solvothermal, room temperature, microwave or spray drying, affects the crystal growth of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and specifically the structure, morphology and other properties of iMOFs such as crystal size, particle shape, surface area, defect structures (defects) and gas adsorption capacity and affinity toward N 2, CO 2, CH 4 etc. Moreover, high performance of MOFs in various catalytic reactions can be correlated to the higher amount of defect structures because defects can possibly display acid and/or basic properties. The amount of generated defects depends on the synthesis procedure of iMOFs. While studies of MOF crystallinity confirmed that for a given type of MOF different synthesis methods generated samples of similar crystal structures their morphologies were different due to the differences in the crystallization rates associated with these methods.

Description

[Title established by the ISA under Rule 37.2] Imperfect MOFs (iMOFs) material, preparation and use in catalysis, sorption and separation FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the catalytic activity of imperfect MOFs (iMOFs) with defect structures present in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) . In particular, the invention relates to the crystal growth-driven creation of defects (amount and type) in metal-organic frameworks using different synthesis procedures resulting in iMOFs.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an important class of new materials in the vast field of metal organic materials (MOMs) . MOFs are the top growing division of novel inorganic-organic materials as they combined the two often-separated disciplines of chemistry; organic and inorganic. The most attractive features of MOFs are their crystalline nature, the high specific surface area (up to 10,400 m2 g-1) , large pore aperture 
Figure PCTCN2016085221-appb-000001
 and the low density (0.13 g cm-3) . 1 MOFs are solids with permanent porosity which are assembled from metals/cluster nodes bridged with linkers/organic compounds to form three-dimensional (3D) coordination networks (see Fig. 1) .
Fig. 1 The MOFs and ZIFs structure comparison; a) The fundamental bridging unit of MOFs frameworks (Left) , bridging angles unit in metal imidazolate of ZIFs (Right) . b) The single unit structure, largest cage of MOFs (Left) and ZIFs (Right) . c) The units linking (b) connect these units such that the cluster adopts an expanded face-cantered-cubic arrangement of MOFs (Left) and ZIFs (Right) . The structure represented via linkers missing (d) and metals missing (e) or defect structure on MOFs (Left) and ZIFs (Right) .
Secondary building units (SBUs) are molecular entities in which ligand coordination modes and metal coordination environments can provide the transformation of these components into extensive porous networks in combination with poly-topic linkers. 2 The synthetic method generally consists of mixing two solutions containing the hydrophilic metal and the hydrophobic organic component (organic linker) , using hydrothermal or solvothermal techniques. Large varieties of metal atoms in their stable oxidation states, i.e., alkaline, alkaline earth, transition metal, and rare earth elements have been successfully used in the  synthesis of MOFs. In case of the organic linker, usually rigid systems are preferred over flexible ones as they give crystalline, porous, and stable MOFs. Different varieties of organic linkers have been used but mostly polycarboxylic molecules and polyazaheterocycles are used.
MOFs are one of the most speedily rising fields in chemical and material sciences, not only due to the fascinating structural topologies but also because of their potential as functional materials in various applications. MOFs are currently eliciting noteworthy attention for their prospective applications in gas storage, purification, molecular sensing, drug delivery, biomedicines, photoluminescence, molecular based magnetisms, and photo catalysis. 3
One of the most distinct areas of MOF’s research is heterogeneous catalysis. MOF based catalysis depends on the active sites; both metal centers and organic linker contribute to catalytic activity. Especially, the organic bridging linkers may be used as scaffolds to which distinct catalytic complexes, bio-molecules, and homogeneous catalysts can be immobilized or encapsulated. The synthetic flexibility of MOF enables considerable control over size and environment of the pores, allowing selectivity to be tuned more effectively. MOF pores can serve as guest hosts for small molecules (active homogeneous catalysts) or as supports for metal or metal oxide nanoparticles and even enzymes. These properties can be changed via chemical synthesis, which distinguish MOFs from other nanoporous materials such as zeolites and activated carbons. A wide variety of MOFs have been designed with various transition metals as well as different polytopic ligands and screened in heterogeneous catalysis of organic transformations but still there are hundreds of MOF materials that have not been explored for catalysis. Therefore, the use of MOFs in catalysis is extremely broad and increasing continuously. The chemical industry has emerged as a vibrant part of the world economy. However, the production of chemicals also leads to a massive magnitude of environmentally harmful wastes. Heterogeneous catalysis is playing an increasingly imperative role in chemical manufacturing, often with the result of a major reduction in waste. For economic and environmental reasons, there is a huge incentive to replace homogeneous by green and efficient heterogeneous catalytic systems. Heterogeneous catalysis is superior to homogeneous for easier separation, reusability, minimized waste, green and, clean products. The high porosity of MOFs allows fast mass transport and/or interactions with substrates. The use of MOFs as heterogeneous catalysts has presented a significance increase in the last two decades as they have been considered as an eco-friendly alternative for catalysis. Separation of the reaction products and the catalyst reusability, less leaching problems make MOFs as an active heterogeneous catalyst. The controllable topology,  geometry of framework, and tunable pore functionality render them highly attractive in future to various applications especially in heterogeneous catalysis.
Although, MOFs appear as a new opportunist in the field of heterogeneous catalysis and hundred publications of MOF catalysis are reported, there is a need to ensure its stability, activity and selectivity under reaction conditions.
Ideal MOFs are marked by a perfect crystal structure in which the cell unites are faultless arranged, however, this ideal MOF structure is an utopian model. The real crystal structure always deviates from the perfect or ideal structure due to the presence of un-uniformed structures which are called “defects structure” and are homogeneously spread in these materials. 4 These defects give rise to specific MOF properties and can be tailored for specific applications for a variety of applications. For example in gas storage and separation, sensing, drug delivery etc. Generally, defect structures present in solid materials significantly affect their physical and chemical properties such as the spin frustration in cooperative paramagnets, thermoelectric parameters, and formation of polar nanodomains in relax or ferroelectrics structures and particularly for surface active sites in sensing, catalysis applications. Also, the defect structures in MOFs can drastically enhance adsorption of gases such as hydrogen (H2) , methane (CH4) , carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) gas, as well as catalytic applications depending on the presence of acid or/and basic sites. The metal type and content and the variety of organic ligands in MOFs are a great source of active sites, which can act as reactive centers in many catalytic reactions. Application of MOFs in catalysis is rapidly growing, which is reflected by a wide range of catalyzed reaction such as cyanosilation, isomerization, hydrogenation, oxidation, tran-esterification, photocatalysis etc. 5 Notably, the advantage of applying MOFs as catalysts is related to their heterogeneous nature, which is superior to homogeneous catalysis because of easier separation, reusability, minimized waste, green and, clean products.
Regardless the well-defined structure of MOFs, their catalytic applications are largely hampered because the metal/cluster is usually completely coordinated and blocked by organic linkers6 Therefore, the design of defect structures in MOFs can possibly enhance the amount of catalytic sites at the nodes of these frameworks. 23 7 Tailoring the defects in MOFs is essential for establishing the structure-property relationships for targeted applications, such as shape-and size-selective adsorption, and complex site-driven catalysis and sensing. Until today, two strategies have been applied and investigated for the generation of defect  structures. The first strategy uses a proper mixture of mono-and/or poly-dentate ligands to create the defects in MOFs. 8-10 Similarly, the ratio of linker/metal is crucial in the design and creation of defect structures, however, this is limited to certain MOFs (bearing many linkers in one secondary building unit such as UiO-66 (Zr) or UiO-66 (Hf) ) 11-13 The second strategy is focused on the acceleration of synthesis via addition of a strong deprotonating agent resulting in a very fast reaction (kinetically driven process) leading to the creation of defect structures while still retaining the original MOF structure. 14, 15
While variations of these synthesis routes are well-known in the area of MOFs, however, so far the relation between various synthesis procedures and defect creation in MOFs has not been studied yet. Since the synthesis procedure determines often if the crystal growth is thermodynamically or kinetically driven, in this invention we proved that it has a pronounced effect on the creation of defect structures within MOF frameworks generating iMOFs. We proved that a proper selection and/or modification of the synthesis procedure can markedly affect the morphology and properties of MOFs, since the crystallization rate is essential in the crystal growth process and formation of defect structures, which have a pronounced effect on the adsorption and catalytic properties of these materials. However, the available literature on the formation of defect structures during growth of MOF crystals is extremely rare and the relation between these defects and the catalytic activity is still poorly understood.
For the above reason there is still an urgent need for procedures allowing creation of iMOFs in a straightforward and controllable manner and for a relationship between the amount of defects and the catalytic performance of iMOFs in specific catalytic reactions, gas adsorption and separation.
OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION
The main objective of the present invention is the creation of iMOF materials via different synthesis procedures as well as the quantitative assessment of the defects in iMOFs which are created via different synthesis procedure. The second objective is the unexpected finding that defect structures are involved in the enhancement of the catalytic activity in a reaction using these materials as catalysts. Finally, the advancement and understanding of defect structures certainly will open new opportunities for multipurpose application of MOF materials.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention describes procedures to synthesize iMOFs exposing dramatically different properties compared with the same MOFs prepared in a conventional manner. The crystallization rate in various synthesis methods is involved in the structure arrangement and defect structure creation which influences the structure properties, morphologies, porosities and surface chemistry properties etc. These results were deduced and supported from crystal morphologies which are related to the rate of crystallization or crystal growth, from surface and porosity properties evaluation from adsorption measurements, and from temperature decomposition analysis. Furthermore, the crystal framework remains as been proven from the XRD pattern and coordination functional group analysis. The diversity of defect structures correlates with active sites and thus also with the catalytic performance which is confirmed via example of catalytic reactions. The high catalytic performance of iMOFs from this invention is related to the presence of more acid and basic sites occurring on defect structure. The use of TPD applying CO, CO2, NH3, generate an understanding of the nature and the amount (concentration) of defects. Knowledge of the nature and amount of defects is of utmost importance to decide which imperfect Metal organic framework is suitable for a certain catalytic reaction.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a defect structure creating procedure during iMOFs synthesis. The iMOFs in the present invention comprise metal ions and organic ligands. The metal ions used in the invention are those usually employed for the preparation of MOFs, which can be selected from the group consist: alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, post-transition metals, lanthanide series and actinide series.
The alkali metals can be selected from the group as Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr and mixtures thereof. The alkaline earth metals can be selected from the group as Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra and mixtures thereof. The transition metals can be selected from Sc, Y, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Tc, Re, Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh, lr, Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd, Hg and mixtures thereof. The post-transition metals can be selected from the group as Al, Ga, In, Tl, Ge, Sn, Pb, Sb, Bi, Po and mixtures thereof. The lanthanide series can be selected from the group as La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu and mixtures thereof and actinide series, such as Ac, Th, Pa, U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm, Bk, Cf, Es, Fm, Md, No, Lr and mixtures thereof.
Preferably the metal for use in the formation of iMOF is a single metal or mixtures thereof.
The organic ligands or struts applied for building iMOF structures of present invention are mono-, bi-, tri-, tetra-dentate ligands bearing carboxy-, amine-, nitro-groups or a mixture thereof, which can be selected from the group consist:
oxalic acid, ethyloxalic acid, fumaric acid, 1, 3, 5-bezene tribenzoic acid (BTB) , benzene tribiphenylcarboxylic acid (BBC) , 1, 4-benzene dicarboxylic acid (BDC) , 2-amino-1, 4-benzene dicarboxylic acid (NH2-BDC) , 4, 4'-dicarboxylic acid, cyclobutyl-1, 4-benzene dicarboxylic acid, benzene tricarboxylic acid, 2, 6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid (NDC) , 1, 1'-biphenyl-4, 4'-dicarboxylic acid (BPDC) , 2, 2'-bipyridyl-5, 5'-dicarboxylic acid, adamantine tetracarboxylic acid (ATC) , biphenyltetracarboxylic acid (BPTC) , tetrahydropyrene-2, 7-dicarboxylic acid (HPDC) , dihdroxyterephthalic acid (DHBC) , pyrene-2, 7-dicarboxylic acid (PDC) , pyrazine dicarboxylic acid, tetratopic-, 3, 6, 8- (p-benzoate) pyrene (TBAPy) , tetracarboxylic acid phenyl porphyrine (TCPP) , octacarboxylic acid phenyl porphyrine (OCPP) , acetylene dicarboxylic acid (ADC) , imidazole, 2-methylimidazolate, 1, 4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2] octane (DABCO) and derivatives and substituted derivates thereof.
While variations of routes to synthesize MOFs are well-known, however, procedures related to implement defect structures has never been described till now. Because the synthesis procedure is the determining factor, which contribute to the structure during crystal growth of iMOFs, changing the synthesis procedure can markedly affect the morphology and properties of these materials, since the crystallization rate or structure growth is involved to organize the crystal structure including the defect structures of these materials.
Till today, commonly used procedures to synthesize MOFs are described in Example 1: solvothermal (SV) , Example 2: microwave (MW) , Example 3: room temperature (RT) and Example 4: spray drying (SP) method. The defect structures in iMOF materials are related to the catalytic performance as evaluated in Example 10: Ring opening polymerization and Example 11: Knoevenagel condensation reaction. Probe molecules applied for temperature program desorption (TPD) are used to understand the active sites in the catalyst (iMOF) and are correlated with the defect structures in the iMOF materials (Example 8) . These experimental techniques can demonstrate the relative concentration of defects in the iMOF materials. Furthermore, more series of iMOFs and reactions were used to investigate that the amount of defect structures differs according the applied synthesis procedure. Accordingly,  depending on the applied procedure, various defect concentrations can be generated that are involved as active sites in catalytic performance of iMOFs.
Zeolite Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) belong to a subclass of MOFs having metal nodes (Zn, Co) coordinated with imidazolate linkers (IM) that form porous structures similar to zeolites. 16 ZIF-8 consists of Zn-ions bridged with 2-methylimidazole (2-IM) and represents a sodalite zeolite-type topology in MOF materials see in figure 1. ZIF-8 of this invention, exhibits a very high surface area, its structure is chemically (including water) and thermally stable, and catalytically active, and was therefore used as the criteria for the MOF platform for catalytic applications. ZIF-8 is an ideal candidate for numerous industrial applications among the MOFs. 17 The ZIF-8 series was prepared by using different methods to demonstrate the effect of synthesis procedure on the amount of created defect structures.
Powder X-ray diffraction was used to determine the crystallinity in ZIF-8 obtained via different synthesis methods. The XRD patterns of the ZIF-8 samples obtained by different methods show only small differences in the normalized intensities using the [011] reflection plane. From this normalization it was found that for different synthesis procedures of ZIF-8 the patterns remain unchanged and are in excellent agreement with the simulated pattern between 2θ values of 5 and 30°. These results confirm that ZIF-8 crystals obtained via different synthesis procedures are isostructural with the simulated pattern and the high intensity revealed high crystallinity.
Comparison was made between the FTIR spectra of the ZIF-8 series (obtained via different synthesis procedures) , with 2-methylimodazole (ligand) The two bands at 3135 and 2928 cm- 1 present the stretching frequencies of the aromatic C-H and aliphatic C-H bonds respectively, and the band at 1606 cm-1 is related to the C=C stretch. In the region between 1100 -1400 cm-1 the C-N adsorption bands can be found. The absorption band at 421 cm-1 represents the Zn-N stretching mode and is in good agreement with the reported literature. 18 Several FTIR bands significantly changed after the ZIF-8 generation evidencing the establishment of the coordination between metal ions/nodes and organic ligands and thus forming the frameworks.
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the crystal morphology and to estimate the average crystal size. The SEM images reveal different morphologies and sizes of the crystals depending on the synthesis procedure. The cube shape was observed for the ZIF-8 sample obtained by spray drying method (ZIF-8-SP) , while the microwave-assisted  synthesis produced more spherical-like crystals (ZIF-8-MW) but with smaller particle size (particle sizes of ZIF-8-SP and ZIF-8-MW were ~3μm and 0.2μm, respectively) . The rhombic dodecahedron crystals were obtained by using conventional room temperature synthesis (ZIF-8-RT) and the well-defined truncated rhombic dodecahedral crystals were formed during solvothermal synthesis (ZIF-8-SV) . Furthermore, the average size of crystals obtained via room temperature conventional synthesis is much smaller than that for crystals prepared by solvothermal method (ZIF-8-RT: 50ηm and ZIF-8-SV: 60μm) . So, in general the following sequence of crystal size is obtained for the different procedures: ZIF-8-SV > ZIF-8-SP > ZIF-8-MW > ZIF-8-RT.
Recently, the mechanism of structure evolution as a function of time for crystallization of ZIF-8 under solvothermal conditions was established on the basis of the in-situ EDXRD and SEM studies17-19. It was shown that in the case of solvothermal synthesis of ZIF-8 the evolution of crystals started with a cube-shaped crystal morphology in the initial stage and ended with a rhombic dodecahedral shape in the final product. 19 Similar results were observed for MOF-14 by Millange and co-worker. 20 The aforementioned works are useful to explain the results of this invention. The structure evolution is affected by the preparation procedure a fast crystal growth occurs during spray drying synthesis (SP) , which assures rapid crystallization (small droplets and growth accelerated by short heating time) and a stable cube-shaped morphology. Longer crystal growth transforms the cube-shaped morphology into a truncated-cube edged morphology, represented by a rhombic dodecahedron. This gradual evolution in the ZIF-8 crystal shape from cubic morphology (spray drying synthesis) to the rhombic dodecahedron morphology is formed respectively under microwave, conventional room temperature and solvothermal conditions.
Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis was conducted to evaluate the thermal stability of the ZIF-8 samples obtained by the different procedures (SP, MW, RT, SV) . The TG curves start from room temperature up to 350℃ displaying a good thermal stability of the frameworks for all samples. The first thermal event observed from 350 to 450 ℃, corresponds to the exothermic decomposition of the partial bridging ligand (2-MIM) , which is in a good agreement with literature. 17 It is worth noting that before TG analyses all samples were activated at 200 ℃ under vacuum for 200 min and as a consequence no solvent molecules and guest molecules were detected in the thermogram. For the ZIF-8-SP sample the highest weight loss was observed during 350 –400 ℃. For the ZIF-8-SP sample the highest weight loss was observed at 350 –400 ℃ and could be assigned to the defect structures (missing coordination) between ligands and metal clusters (nodes) , which weakens interactions and  consequently, results in higher weight loss. Similar effects were also observed on the TG profiles for UiO-66 bearing defect structures (missing link) . The sharp weight loss observed in the second step starting around 600 ℃ (except for ZIF-8-RT around 350 ℃) indicates the decomposition of the ZIF-8 framework and finally produces ZnO.
The comparison in surface area and porosity of these materials were investigated by N2 adsorption experiments. The N2 adsorption results display an isotherm Type I containing micro-pore structures which is also supported by the pore size distribution. The surface area, and porosity properties were calculated applying Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Langmuir models. From these calculations it is clear that ZIF-8-RT possess the highest surface area and largest porosity (pore volume and pore size) . The following trend could be observed in the samples: ZIF-8-RT > ZIF-8-MW > ZIF-8-SP > ZIF-8-SV (smallest) . Furthermore, a small hysteresis loop on the N2 isotherm for ZIF-8-MW (P/P0 > 0.9) and a larger one on the isotherm for ZIF-8-RT indicates some secondary porosity between agglomerated ZIF-8 crystals. Additionally, the surface area and pore volume obtained for ZIF-8-RT are in an excellent agreement with analogous data reported in literature. 17 These results suggest the presence of two pore types (micro-and meso-pores) in the materials. These two samples (ZIF-8-RT and ZIF-8-MW) possess a higher surface area and this could be explained by the presence of the two types of pores but also by their crystal size (SEM) , both samples have a smaller crystal size. The combination of the mixed pores with the smaller crystal size results in a higher surface area of these two samples.
In order to investigate the relation between the amount of defect structures with the chemical properties of these MOFs, some catalytic reactions were selected as indicators to probe the catalytic activity of the MOFs. There are three possible hypotheses to describe the nature of the catalytic site within the MOF; a) the apparently saturated nod, b) the temporarily de-coordination to allow the creation of transient species and c) irregular frameworks or defect structures which are expected to have a high potential for catalytic active site. 21, 22The defect structures are effectively involved in the activity of catalytic reaction as shown in Example 10 and 11.
Synthetic polymers have been up-scaled in industry since the 1940s, while nowadays, environment friendly procedures are of interest in polymer synthesis, manufacturing. Biodegradable polymers have been considered as alternative polymers having unique environmental friendly properties. Moreover, non-toxic compounds are released during  hydrolysis of biodegradable plastics in physiological media applied in biomedical devices. The cyclic lactone monomer or lactide (LA) is one of the monomers used for the synthesis of a biodegradable polymer via the ring opening polymerization.
The catalyst is the major parameter in this polymerization. Accordingly, there is still a need for new catalysts that are environmental friendly and harmless. Here we report for the first time the use of MOFs, e.g. ZIF-8, Zn-DABCO, MOF-5, as heterogeneous catalyst for the ring opening polymerization of L-lactide. After screening of the efficiency of the catalyst (ZIF-8) the following performance sequence was observed from high to low: SP > MW > RT > SV. Moreover, the same performance sequence was obtained using Zn-DABCO as a catalyst (obtained via different procedures; SP, MW, SV) .
The Knoevenagel condensation reaction is very important in the context of the pharmaceutical industry. This reaction is a classic C-C bond formation between aldehydes or ketones and malonnitril. In this study 4-bromobenzaldehyde and malononitrile are used as substrates and ZIF-8 series (SP, MW, RT, SV) as catalyst for the Knoevenagel reaction. It was observed that ZIF-8-SP demonstrated the highest catalytic performance followed by, ZIF-8-MW, ZIF-8-RT and ZIF-8-SV respectively.
To find a reasonable explanation for the high activity of the spray dried ZIF-8 sample temperature programmed desorption (TPD) analyses were performed. After integration of the peak of NH3 desorption (NH3-TPD) starting from room temperature up to 270℃ (and holding the temperature constant) an approximate value of the acid sites (Lewis and 
Figure PCTCN2016085221-appb-000002
 ) can be found, see figure 4a and 5b. It was clearly demonstrated that ZIF-8 synthesized by spray drying (ZIF-8-SP) possesses the highest value of acid sites followed by ZIF-8-MW, ZIF-8-RT and ZIF-8-SV, respectively. These results correlate perfect with the observed trend in catalytic performance of the ZIF-8 samples generated via different procedures.
Furthermore, CO2-TPD analyses were performed in order to investigate the basic properties of the different ZIF-8 samples. Also here the ZIF-8 synthesized by spray drying (ZIF-8-SP) possesses the highest value of basic sites followed by ZIF-8-MW, ZIF-8-RT and ZIF-8-SV, respectively (Fig. 4b and 5b) . These results are in excellent agreement with the observed trends in acid sites and catalytic performance of the different ZIF-8 samples (SP, MW, RT, SV) .
The acid and basic properties of ZIF-8 have been investigated and reported in previous work of Chizallet. 21 They demonstrated that ZIF-8 has strong Lewis acid sites (in particular Zn2+ species) together with basic ones (2-methylimidazolate, ligands) using FT-IR CO adsorption analyses combined with DFT calculations. 21 Moreover, in general for many catalytic reactions it is reported that acidic and basic sites are reactive centers in catalytic reactions to obtain a good catalytic performance. 22 This assumption confirmed that those sites are present and are represented by the “defects” of ZIF-8. The amount of these reactive centers depends on the synthesis procedure e.g. SP, MW, SV, RT and a correlation can be made between the amount of defects and the catalytic performance (the higher the amount of defects the better the catalytic performance) .
The obtained results from different catalytic reactions applying MOFs prepared via different procedures (SP, MW, SV, RT) , although the MOFs have the same crystal structure (confirmed by XRD) they demonstrate that the catalytic activity is related to the amount of defects (acid and basic sites) which on its turn is related to the synthesis procedure. SP introduces more defects in the MOF structure and as a consequence the spray dried MOF displays a higher catalytic activity. 23 To investigate MOF materials on their defect structure on a molecular level, using suitable characterization methods with existing techniques is still a bottle-neck. Most techniques used to identify defects are based on imaging such as AFM, SEM, TEM, FMM etc, weight loss of missing linker or guest molecules (TGA, MS etc. ) and patterns and/or lattice information (XRD) . One technique to investigate defect structures in MOFs applies probe molecules. The probe molecules are important to elucidate the nature of defects, defects amounts (concentration) and also to investigate the modified adsorption or reactive properties of defect structures. The use of various probe molecules has been reported including CO, CO2, CD3CN etc. CO as probe is generally used to investigate the active site in heterogeneous catalysts. Recently, the application of CO as probe molecule combined with FTIR to observe the exposed defect structures on Cu species in HKUST-1 have been reported4, 24-26 However, this technique is limited since it can only collect information of the surface and of the presence of defect structures (qualitative) . The occupation of defect sites by CO molecules is thermodynamically favored over the occupation of regular lattice sites. 25, 26 Furthermore, Wenge et al. reported that the CO molecules could coordinated on the open metal-site, which is one type of the defect structures, in the HKUST-1.27 A direct method to identify defect structures and the quantitative data is still missing till today. Therefore, as we reasoned that there is a direct relation between amount of defects and catalytic performance we hypothesized that applying the chemi-physical adsorption or temperature program desorption using CO molecules as  probe gas (CO-TPD) to investigate the defect structures on MOFs could provide us with the quantitative amount of defects which is related to the catalytic sites.
The coordination phenomenon of adsorption was illustrated by interaction of adsorbate (CO molecule) with the defect site. There are three adsorption possibilities: i) a 1: 1 stoichiometry in which one defect is coordinated with one adsorbate molecule, ii) a n : 1 stoichiometry, n >1 means one adsorbate coordinates to more than one defect, iii) a 1 : m stoichiometry, m >1 in which one defect coordinates more than one adsorbate. The coordination numbers of real material may vary because of different crystallographic faces, edges, steps, point defects and dislocations. However, the most common interaction is the 1: 1 stoichiometry formation. 28 This result further confirms that MOFs obtained by spray drying (e.g. ZIF-8-SP) display the highest adsorption of CO molecules by CO-TPD (Fig. 5a, b) , indicating a high contribution from defect structures in the material and thus representing a large amount of active sites (a large amount of acid sites observed in NH3-TPD and a large amount of basic site observed in CO2-TPD) .
The above-mentioned characterization and catalytic performance results highlight the impact of synthesis procedure of MOFs, with the unexpected behavior attributed to the defect structures (defects) . Furthermore, this is a totally different approach then the in literature described method to create defects via addition of a ligand having one functionality less than the strut ligand, for example, a carboxylate group, etc. 29 The formation of the later is often affected by synthetic conditions. In this invention it was found that the growth rate of crystallization in crystal materials such as MOFs is an important parameter and significantly create defect structures in the material. The different methods to synthesize MOFs have been used to create varies defect structure densities of which their properties were investigated and showed different catalytic activities. This catalytic performance is a measure of defects. Using CO-TPD is a new and sensitive tool for the detection of defects in MOFs.
Finally, high concentrations of defects can result in the formation of correlated or large-scale defects through clustering of point defects. Correlation here means that the probability of forming a defect at a certain location in the crystal lattice depends on the presence of defects in the vicinity of this location. In essence, such large-scale defects present that: a) might greatly affect mass-transport pathways (important in sorption and catalysis) , b) could reduce network rigidity and density, c) bring out unique electronic, magnetic, and optical functionalities and anomalous mechanical properties (e.g. negative thermal expansion, pressure-induced softening, and crystalline–amorphous switching) d) may bring benefits to  realize complex catalytically active sites, for example, rearranged coordinated unsaturated sites (CUSs) that can operate in a cooperative manner, for targeted catalytic reactions.

MOF-5
The MOF-5 synthesis was adapted from the literature. 34 The terephthalic acid (5.065 g, 30.5 mmol) and triethylamine (8.5 mL) were dissolved in 400 mL of DMF. Zn (OAc) 2·2H2O (16.99  g, 77.4 mmol) was dissolved in 500 mL of DMF. The zinc salt solution was added to the organic solution with stirring over 15 min, forming a precipitate, and the mixture was stirred for 2.5 h. The precipitate was filtered and immersed in DMF (250 mL) overnight. It was then filtered again and immersed in CHCl3 (350 mL) . The product was evacuated overnight at 120 ℃ under vacuum for 6 h.
Example 3 The microwave synthesized MOFs
ZIF-8
The microwave-assistant synthesis of ZIF-8 was prepared from mixture of Zn (OAc) 2·2H2O (1.756 g, 8 mmol) and of 2-methylimidazole 0.66g (8 mmol) in 30 ml of DMF as solvent. The mixtures was transferred in in Teflon liner reactor and heated to 130℃ under a microwave power of 400W for 30 min. After cooling to room temperature the solid product was washed by DMF for 3 times then immersed in methanol for 3 days. The solid products filtrated and dried at room temperature under vacuum for overnight.

Example 4 The Spay drying synthesis MOFs
ZIF-8-SP
For the spray drying synthesis of ZIF-8-SP a AF-88 labs Spray dryer, AFIND Scientific instrument CO. LTD. was applied. A solution of Zn (OAc) 2·2H2O (1.765 g, 8.04 mmol) in water (25ml) mixed with a solution of 2-methylimodazolate (0.66 g, 8 mmol) in water (25ml) . The white suspension solution was used as the feed for the spray-dry machine using a spray nozzle 8 mm, at a feed rate of 300 ml/h, a flow rate of 160 m3/h and an inlet temperature of  180℃. The white powder was collected and washed following a two-step centrifugation/re-dispersion process with methanol for three day. Finally, the wet product was dried at room temperature under vacuum for 12h thereafter the temperature was raised to 60℃ for 6h. The final product was corrected and kept in desiccator.
Zn-DABCO
For the synthesis of Zn-DABCO the same procedure was used as for the synthesis of ZIF-8. A solution of Zn (NO32·6H2O (0.362g, 1.22 mmol) , terephthalic acid (0.415g, 2.5 mmol) in DMF (15 ml) and a solution of 1, 4-Diazabicyclo [2.2.2] octane (0.14 g, 1.15 mmol) in DMF (15 ml) were mixed and used as feed solution for spray-drying (similar conditions as for ZIF-8 spray drying synthesis) .
MOF-5
For the synthesis of MOF-5 the same procedure was used as for the synthesis of ZIF-8. A solution of Zn (OAc) 2·2H2O (1.1 g, 5 mmol) in DMF (25 ml) and a solution of terephthalic acid (0.33g, 2 mmol) in DMF (25 ml) were mixed and used as feed solution for spray-drying (similar conditions as for ZIF-8 spray drying synthesis) .
Example 5 The crystal and structure characteristics of MOFs prepared by different procedures
The crystals were analyzed by powder X-Ray Diffraction. Data were collected in 2θ ranging from 3-30°, with a scanning rate of 5 (°) /mim. For one type of MOF, e.g. ZIF-8, the synthesized ZIF-8 sample obtained using different procedure (Spray drying: SP, Microwave: MW, Room temperature: RT, Solvothermal: SV) all show the same patterns as presented in Fig. 2. The same is true for each MOF-type e.g. MOF-5, Zn-DABCO.
Fig. 2 The synthesis ZIF-8 by different procedure (Spray drying: ZIF-8-SP, Microwave: ZIF-8-MW, Room temperature: ZIF-8-RT, Solvothermal: ZIF-8-SV) and their accompanying XRD patterns (a) For one type of MOF, e.g. ZIF-8, the synthesized ZIF-8 sample obtained using different procedure all show the same XRD pattern. The same is true for other MOF-types e.g. MOF-5, Zn-DABCO. (b) The crystal morphology, shape and size investigated by SEM technique. (c) The crystal morphology evolution with rate of crystallization influenced by the  procedure in MOFs synthesis from rapid to slow growth (top to down direction) presented by the cube shape to the rhombic dodecahedron shape.
From this analysis it is demonstrated clearly that the synthesis procedure has a big influence on the crystal morphology. This has been verified for several different types of MOFs e.g. ZIF-8; MOF-5 and mixed ligand MOFs e.g. Zn-DABCO to proof that this is not limited to a certain MOF type and is a general property.
Example 6 Effect of the synthesis procedure of MOFs on their physical properties.
All gas adsorptions were measured by ASAP 2020 (Micromeritics) apparatus. The BET and Langmuir surface area were calculated at P/Po = 0.01-0.05 of nitrogen isotherm. The data of pore volume and pore size were estimated from H-K equation at the relative pressure of P/Po = 0.5. All the MOF samples were activated before analyses. The obtained results of ZIF-8 are depicted in Fig. 3. A comparison of the different physical properties obtained from the samples prepared via different synthesis procedures is given in Table 1.

Example 7 The chemical properties: acid and basic values
The chemisorption and temperature program desorption (TPD) technique have been used to evaluate the chemical properties in heterogeneous catalyst. Temperature program desorption using NH3 (NH3-TPD) and CO2 (CO2-TPD) as probe gas molecules to evaluate the acid and basic site, respectively, has been performed on the ZIF-8 series.
The samples were pretreated at 250℃ under carrier of He gas for 1h., then cooled down to the adsorption temperature at 25 ℃. NH3 and CO2 as a probe gas were introduced to the sample by continuous flow. The probe gas was adsorbed to saturation at adsorption temperature of 25 ℃ which can be observed from the stable TCD detector signal. The physically adsorbed gas on the samples was then removed by flushing the samples with He gas till a stable TCD signal was obtained. The temperature programmed desorption was measured using a TCD detector, temperature rising to 270 ℃ at a rate of 10 ℃/min.
The NH3-TPD peak patterns were similarly for the ZIF-8 series as shown in fig. 4a. The results clearly show two peaks at about 70 and 250℃, representing the amount weak acid sites (low temperature peak) and strong acid sites (high temperature peak) , respectively. The basic properties on materials were performed by CO2-TPD, applying similar conditions as for the NH3-TPD analysis. For the CO2 desorption (CO2-TPD) two peak at about 100℃ and 270 ℃ were observed. From the peak area integration the basic values were found, displaying a similar trend as for the acid properties and thus the amount of basic sites is the highest for ZIF-8-SP >ZIF-8-MW, ZIF-8-RT > ZIF-8-SV, respectively. The result revealed the applied synthesis procedure strongly influences the surface chemistry properties of MOFs such as ZIF-8 series shown in Fig. 4b.

Example 8 Effect of synthesis procedure for MOFs on the amount of defect structure in MOFs
Investigation of the defects in MOFs using temperature program desorption of CO as a probe gas (CO-TPD) was used in this example. The samples were pretreated at 250℃ under carrier of He gas for 1h, then cooled to 25 ℃, the adsorption temperature. The CO probe gas was introduced to the sample using a continuous flow. The probe gas was adsorbed to saturation at the adsorption temperature of 25 ℃ which was observed from the stable signal of the TCD detector. Thereafter, the physically adsorbed probe gas was removed by flushing the samples with He gas till a stable TCD signal was obtained. The temperature programmed desorption was measured with a TCD detector, temperature rising to 270 ℃ at a rate of 10 ℃/min.
The CO-TPD plots obtained from the different samples exhibited a difference in the CO desorption. The peak area showed the following trend from high to low: ZIF-8-SP > ZIF-8-MW > ZIF-8-RT > ZIF-8-SV, respectively, see fig. 5a. Integration of the peak area of the adsorbed CO gas can be related to the quantity of defect structures of which the calculated results are presented in fig. 5b.
