Analyzing the Impact of Sorbent Fluorophilicity on the Adsorption of Tetrafluoromethane in a Metal−Organic Framework

Abstract Perfluorinated and highly fluorinated organic molecules exhibit fluorophilic behavior, or a preference for partitioning with fluorinated phases over lipophilic or hydrophilic phases. Fluorophilic interactions leverage local charge separations that arise from polarized C−...

Coordination Chemistry of Thorium Supported by a Single Polyoxoalkoxide Ligand

Abstract Actinide-polyoxometalate (An-POM) literature is dominated by the formation of 1:2 An(POM)2 sandwich-type complexes. Here, we report selective formation of a 1:1 An-POM complex using non-aqueous methods. Treatment of the lacunary POM precursor, (TBA)2[Mo5O13(OMe)4NO][Na(M...
