What is the charge for Hexaminotriphenylene?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the stability of Hexaminotriphenylene (HITP) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) when substituting transition metals with magnesium (Mg). Participants note that while metals like chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), rhodium (Rh), osmium (Os), and iridium (Ir) are transition elements, magnesium lacks this characteristic, raising concerns about the stability of the resulting compound. The consensus indicates that the square planar configuration typical of HITP MOFs is not compatible with magnesium, further questioning its viability as a substitute.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
  • Knowledge of transition metals and their properties
  • Familiarity with coordination chemistry
  • Basic concepts of molecular stability and structural configurations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of transition metals in coordination complexes

  • Investigate the stability of magnesium compounds in MOF applications
  • Learn about the synthesis and applications of HITP-based MOFs
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, materials scientists, and researchers interested in metal-organic frameworks and the implications of using non-transition metals in MOF synthesis.

I have seen the structures like X3 (HITP)2 (X = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Rh, Os, Ir). Can I replace X with Mg? Will it be stable?

No idea, but one thing definitely asks for attention: what does Mg miss, that all other metals listed have?
 
well, all the other elements are transition elements where as Mg is not.
 
Yep - that makes me doubt stability. But it is just a guess.
 
HITP MOFs are generally formed with metals in a square planar configuration, which isn’t found in magnesium compounds.
