The copper–isonicotinate metal–organic frameworks [Cu(INA)2] (INA = isonicotinate) (MOFs) has been prepared by a highly efficient and environmentally benign technique involving mixing and heating of solid reactants without milling. The adsorption of fluorescein dye on the as-synthesised [Cu(INA)2] was also investigated.

The kinetics of oxidation of glucose, galactose, fructose, maltose and sucrose by alkaline permanganate anion has been studied. The reactions studied spectrophotometrically over a wide range of experimental conditions show that the rate of the reactions is enhanced by increase in pH, ionic strength, and temperature as well as the reactant concentrations. The mechanism has been proposed to proceed via the formation of enediol intermediate complexes and the order of reactivities of the sugars is fructose > glucose § galactose > maltose > sucrose. The activation parameters were evaluated and lend further support to the proposed mechanism.
