    Abstract:
    Raman spectroscopy was used to establish direct evidence of heterometallic metal centers in a metal-organic framework (MOF). The Cu3(BTC)2 MOF HKUST-1 (BTC3- = benzenetricarboxylate) was transmetalated by heating it in a solution of RhCl3 to substitute Rh2+ ions for Cu2+ ions in the dinuclear paddlewheel nodes of the framework. In addition to the Cu-Cu and Rh-Rh stretching modes, Raman spectra of (CuxRh1-x)3(BTC)2 show the Cu-Rh stretching mode, indicating that mixed-metal Cu-Rh nodes are formed after transmetalation. Density functional theory studies confirmed the assignment of a Raman peak at 285 cm-1 to the Cu-Rh stretching vibration. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments further supported the conclusion that Rh2+ ions are substituted into the paddlewheel nodes of Cu3(BTC)2 to form an isostructural heterometallic MOF, and electron microscopy studies showed that Rh and Cu are homogeneously distributed in (CuxRh1-x)3(BTC)2 on the nanoscale.
