Selective separation of pyrene from mixed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by a hexahedral metal-organic cage

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)play an important role in the industry,and the development of new materials for the selective separation of PAHs is of great significance.In this work,we report a hex-ahedral metal-organic cage with low symmetry by subcomponent self-assembly.In this cage,the eight ZnⅡ centers adopt an interesting ∧∧/△△△△△△ or ∧∧∧∧∧∧/△△ configuration.This cage with a cav-ity volume of 520 Å3 can bind anthracene,phenanthrene,and pyrene to form 1:1 host-guest complexes,while the bigger triphenylene,chrysene,perylene,and coronene cannot be encapsulated.The binding constant Ka of pyrene is about 1.110 x 103(mol/L)-1,which is more than an order of magnitude larger than that of anthracene and phenanthrene(111(mol/L)-1,277(mol/L)-1,respectively).X-ray structure studies reveal that the pyrene is located in the cavity and stabilized by multiple C-H---π interactions.After separation from a mixture of PAHs,pyrene with>96.1%purity can be obtained.This work provides a useful method for the first time for the selective separation of pyrene from PAHs mixture by utiliz-ing a metal-organic cage as the material,making it a useful tool for purifying and separating specific compounds from complex mixtures.
