A mesoporous aluminium metal–organic framework with 3 nm open pores

Interpenetration in coordination polymers: structural diversities toward porous functional materials

“…Such achievements encouraged researchers to further tune the design strategies and hence achieve an astonishing surface area of $7140 m 2 /g for a PCP NU-110 [17]. The simple ''node-and-linker'' principle originated many isoreticular MOFs (IRMOFs) and further meticulous design of organic linkers lead to mesoporous PCPs with cage like structures [18][19][20]. In particular, the MIL (Materials of Institut Lavoisier) [21], CID (Coordination polymer interdigitated) [22], CPL (Coordination polymer pillared layer) [23] and ZIF (Zeolitic imidazolate framework) [24] series of frameworks added a different flavor in PCP research due to the structural versatility, tunability, stability and ease of designing highly porous structures.…”

The structure-directed effect of Al-based metal–organic frameworks on fabrication of alumina by thermal treatment

“…Many researchers concentrated their attention on it mainly due to its high thermal stability, chemical stability, big specific surface area and large breathing effect [21]. Moreover this kind of 1D inorganic building units and topology structure has many isoreticular products, like MIL-69 [36], MIL-253 [37], CYCU-3 [38] and so on. Parast and Morsali [39] and Liu and He [40] are the only two representatives reporting the synthesis of nano-alumina and mesoporous alumina by thermal treatment using MIL-110 and MIL-53 as precursor respectively.…”

Synthesis, Structure, and Selected Properties of Aluminum-, Gallium-, and Indium-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks

“…This material is especially interesting since it can be synthesized under mild conditions at industrial scale and shows H 2 O sorption properties that make this material a possible candidate for heat transformation processes [119]. [98]. The structure of this MOF is based on the same one-dimensional IBUs as observed in MIL-53.…”
