Abstract: | The pillaring of (NO3)-ZnAl-LDHs with the polyoxometalates (POMs) PV2W10O40]5–, Mo7O24]6–, V10O28]6– and H2W12O40]6–, using large organic anions like terephthalate for pre-swelling the LDH structure forms a promising method for the controlled creation of small micropores. The use of the terephthalate precursor ((T)-ZnAl-LDH) avoided almost completely the formation of undesired side phases during pillaring, although anion exchange with the large POM complexes proceeded with more difficulty than in the case where (NO3)-LDHs were used as a starting material. Direct pillaring via the (NO3)-LDHs resulted in multiphased materials, and no correlation was found between the M(II)/M(III) ratios in the starting LDHs and the created porosity. For the POM]-ZnAl-LDHs pillared via the terephthalate precursor, the layer charge density arising from the amount of isomorphically substituted Al3+ in the LDH layers forms the crucial parameter with regard to the created microporosity. Improving the surface area (SA) and micropore volume ( PV) values was accomplished by lowering the charge density on the LDH layers (increasing the Zn2+/Al3+ ratio). In this way, a PV2W10O40]-ZnAl-LDH (Zn2+/Al3+ = 4.26) with a SA (BET) of 166 m2/g and a PV of 0.047 cm3/g was formed.For the different types of pillars, small micropores were formed due to the pillaring process. In the case of the smaller POM complexes Mo7O24]6+ and V10O28]6+, an increase in PV and SA was not accompanied by a detectable shift in average pore size, which was the case for the second group of complexes, PV2W10O40]5– and H2W12O40]6–. Due to their larger dimensions, mainly micropores between 0.71 and 1.06 nm were created at high Zn2+/Al3+ ratios, together with a substantial amount of pores smaller than 0.71 nm. |
