Motivation: CO 2 capture System: Metal-Organic Frameworks Data: Unusual blue shift of adsorbed CO 2 3 mode Room-temperature sidebands Low-temperature bands reveal 2 nd configuration Vibrational Shift of Adsorbed CO 2 within a Metal-Organic Framework Outline

Slide 2

Motivation Carbon capture Separate carbon dioxide from exhaust gases Emissions reduction accompanying switch to clean energy sources Natural gas purification Separate CO 2 from methane (CH 4 ) Improve energy density of fuel, decrease pipe corrosion Current CO 2 separation methods are costly Harmful materials High energy costs for regeneration A better way? http://www.nma.org/ccs/carboncapture.as p

Slide 3

Metal-Organic Frameworks Large voids, voids of ~ 10 20 for molecular storage and separation Complex unit cell makes computation modeling challenging Significant van der Waals interactions Metal ions linked by organic chains Very low density Crystalline and tunable Vast number of possible structures

Slide 4

Honeycomb structure Metal-oxide clusters linked by Benzene rings MOF-74 H. Wu et al. J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 1(13):19461951, 2010. Diffraction indicates CO 2 is nearly linear 2+ Unsaturated metal ion acts as primary binding site for CO 2 2.4

MOF-74 Selective Binding Binding energy in Mg-MOF-74 ~ 40 - 50 kJ/mol Binding energy in other MOF-74 at least 7 kJ/mol less Difference is likely due to direct electrostatic interaction via shorter Mg O bond Binding energy for CH 4 in MOF-74 ~ 20 kJ/mol Difference between CO 2 and CH 4 mainly attributed to CO 2 quadrupole moment Caskey et al.
