Nanoscale Organic Hybrid Materials (NOHMs) have unique properties that show potential for their use as novel electrolytes that can interact with redox active species. In this work, we probe the effects of adding poly (ethyleneimine)-based NOHMs (NOHM-I-PEI) on copper ion electrochemical reactions. As NOHM-I-PEI is added to a solution containing Cu (II), the voltammetric peak current decreases. This is likely caused by strong complex formation between the PEI nitrogen and the copper, similar to complexation observed in solutions of the polymer with copper. Upon copper addition to a NOHM-I-PEI solution, the pH decreases from 10.1, plateauing at pH= 5.3 at∼ 3: 1 N: Cu ratio indicating that Cu (II) displaces protons. The UV–visible spectra exhibit a Cu-PEI peak, the intensity of which levels off at∼ 2.8 N: Cu. Acid titration of the N-moieties of the PEI reveals three inflections corresponding to N-environments in the PEI. Upon controlling the pH of the solution by buffering, the" sequestration" of Cu (II) is found to occur when there are unprotonated nitrogens present in the NOHM-I-PEI system; this phenomenon is also supported by UV-vis results. This work highlights the potential of and the design of NOHMs to carry charged electroactive species in solutions along with key factors to control for optimal function.
