Zusammenfassung:1H and 27Al MAS NMR spectroscopies have been applied for studying the effect of water molecules, nitrogen bases, and o-xylene on the hydroxyl protons of bridging AlOH groups and framework aluminum atoms in the metal−organic framework (MOF) MIL-53. For water molecules adsorbed on the low-temperature form MIL-53lt, two 1H MAS NMR signals were found indicating the formation of different O−H···O hydrogen bonds to neighboring oxygen atoms, such as to carboxylic oxygens. Upon adsorption of the nitrogen bases acetonitrile, ammonia, and pyridine, a linear increase of the quadrupole coupling constant, C Q, of the framework aluminum atoms in dehydrated MIL-53 from C Q = 8.5 MHz (unloaded material) to maximum 10.8 MHz (pyridine-loaded material) as a function of the proton affinity of the adsorbates was observed. Adsorption of o-xylene led to three stepwise changes of the quadrupole coupling constants, C Q, of framework aluminum atoms in dehydrated MIL-53. While the first two stepwise changes of the C Q values (C Q = 8.0 and 8.7 MHz) occur for o-xylene loadings of lower than 4 molecules per unit cell and for all AlO4(OH)2 centers, the third change of the C Q value to 9.4 MHz was observed for o-xylene loadings higher than 4 o-xylene molecules per unit cell and for maximum 50% of the framework aluminum atoms. This third adsorbate-induced change of the C Q value of framework aluminum atoms in MIL-53 is accompanied by a significant decrease of the adsorbate mobility.
