Metal-organic frameworks are one of the most active research fields today. Despite the progress in recent years, synthesis of highly porous structures bearing functional groups for specific applications remains a challenge. Here, we describe synthesis of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV)-based tetrazine containing metalorganic frameworks, ZrTz-68 and HfTz-68 with pore size of 2.1 nm, specific surface area up to 4217 m 2 g -1 , and a UiO-68
A series of aluminum-based coordination polymers or metal-organic frameworks (Al-MOFs), i.e., DUT-4, DUT-5, MIL-53, NH 2 -MIL-53, and MIL-100, have been facile prepared by microwave (MW)-assisted reactions and used as catalysts for selective sulfoxidation reactions. The MW-assisted synthesis drastically reduced the reaction time from few days to hours. The prepared MOFs have smaller and uniform particle sizes and better yield compared to conventional hydrothermal method. Furthermore, the Al-MOFs have been successfully demonstrated as catalysts in oxidation reaction of methyl phenyl sulfide with H 2 O 2 as oxidant, even under mild conditions, with more than 95% conversion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
