Route 1: Solvothermal
S4 · Methods / Co-CoOAPc synthesis
Metal precursorscobalt(II) nitrate trihydrate Co(NO3)2.6H2O (4.44 mg, 15.3 umol, 3 eq.)
Linker precursorsCoOAPc.8HCl (5 mg, 0.0051 mmol or 5.1 umol, 1 eq.)
Solvents3.5 mL DMF for ligand; metal nitrate in DMF (volume not explicitly stated)
Additives0.75 mL aqueous sodium acetate (NaOAc), 1.6 mol/L
Atmosphereair; loosely capped 20 mL vial
Temperature60
Time4
Oxidant / reductantambient oxygen/air during loosely capped solvothermal reaction; NaOAc as deprotonating agent and coordination modulator
Work-upPreheat ligand solution for 10 min; add NaOAc/metal-nitrate mixture; stir for 4 h; dilute resulting green/black fluid with 20+ mL DI water; vacuum-filter through 0.45 um nylon membrane; wash with DI water, DMF and acetone; dry under vacuum overnight at 60 C
Activationvacuum-dried overnight at 60 C before characterisation
Scalability contextSmall-batch 5 mg linker-scale synthesis; conditions optimised per sample for solvent, base concentration and temperature.
