Abstract in another language
The solution chemistry of aluminum is highly complex and various polyoxocations are known. Here we report on the facile synthesis of a cationic Al-24 cluster that forms porous salts of composition [Al-24(OH)(56)(CH3COO)(12)]X-4, denoted CAU-55-X, with X=Cl-, Br-, I-, HSO4-. Three-dimensional electron diffraction was employed to determine the crystal structures. Various robust and mild synthesis routes for the chloride salt [Al-24(OH)(56)(CH3COO)(12)]Cl-4 in water were established resulting in high yields (>95 %, 215 g per batch) within minutes. Specific surface areas and H2O capacities with maximum values of up to 930 m(2) g(-1) and 430 mg g(-1) are observed. The particle size of CAU-55-X can be tuned between 140 nm and 1250 nm, permitting its synthesis as stable dispersions or as highly crystalline powders. The positive surface charge of the particles, allow fast and effective adsorption of anionic dye molecules and adsorption of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
