Primary, secondary (1°,2°) alkylethylenediamine- and alkylpropylenediamine-appended variants of metal-organic framework are provided for CO.sub.2 capture applications. Increasing the size of the alkyl group on the secondary amine enhances the stability to diamine volatilization from the metal sites. Two-step adsorption/desorption profiles are overcome by minimzing steric interactions between adjacent ammonium carbamate chains. For instance, the isoreticularly expanded framework Mg.sub.2(dotpdc) (dotpdc.sup.4−=4,4″-dioxido-[1,1′:4′,1″-terphenyl]-3,3″-dicarboxylate), yields diamine-appended adsorbents displaying a single CO.sub.2 adsorption step. Further, use of the isomeric framework Mg-IRMOF-74-II or Mg.sub.2(pc-dobpdc) (pc-dobpdc.sup.4−=3,3-dioxidobiphenyl-4,4-dicarboxylate, pc=para-carboxylate) also leads to a single CO.sub.2 adsorption step with bulky diamines. By relieving steric interactions between adjacent ammonium carbamate chains, these frameworks enable step-shaped CO.sub.2 adsorption, decreased water co-adsorption, and increased stability to diamine loss. Variants of Mg.sub.2(dotpdc) and Mg.sub.2(pc-dobpdc) functionalized with large diamines such as N-(n-heptyl)ethylenediamine have utility as adsorbents for carbon capture applications.

A hydrocarbon feed stream, particularly one comprising heavier hydrocarbons, may be converted to valuable products such as motor gasoline and/or lubricating oil by employing one or more MOF catalysts, which may be prepared from a precursor metal-organic framework (MOF). A MOF catalyst may be prepared by exchanging one or more organic linking ligands of the precursor MOF for an organic linking ligand having a different acidity and/or electron-withdrawing properties, which, in turn, may affect catalytic activity.

Metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) are highly porous entities comprising a multidentate organic ligand coordinated to multiple metal centers, typically as a coordination polymer. Crystallization may be problematic in some instances when secondary binding sites are present in the multidentate organic ligand. Multidentate organic ligands comprising first and second binding sites bridged together with a third binding site comprising a diimine moiety may alleviate these issues, particularly when using a preformed metal cluster as a metal source to form a MOF. Such MOFs may comprise a plurality of metal centers, and a multidentate organic ligand coordinated to the plurality of metal centers to define an at least partially crystalline network structure having a plurality of internal pores, and in which the multidentate organic ligand comprises first and second binding sites bridged together with a third binding site comprising a diimine moiety. Particular MOFs may comprise N,N′-di(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)ethane-1,2-diimine as a multidentate organic ligand.
