Amine-Rich Porous MOF Nanocrystals for the Selective Capture of Carcinogenic Anions and Organo-Pollutants from the Waste Water Environment at Neutral pH

A superhydrophobic MOF facilitating efficient solvent-free catalytic chemical fixation of CO2 and oxidation of hydrocarbons and MOF@cotton@starch composite-based selective sensing of a herbicide

“…Previously reported literature suggested that Zr(IV)/Hf(IV) salts can readily react with terephthalic acid linkers to construct UiO-66 framework structures. [36][37][38] Here, the experimentally obtained peak locations and intensities are closely similar to the theoretically obtained PXRD pattern of the aforementioned MOF. The indexed cell parameters and cell volume of the experimental PXRD profile are similar to the simulated framework (Table S1, ESI †).…”

Superhydrophobic nanosized metal–organic framework composites for the targeted removal of hydrophobic pharmaceuticals with outstanding bacterial anti-adhesion properties

“…9 Porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are one of the most widely used adsorbents which so far have been used for the adsorption of various metal ions, oxo-anions and hydrophobic liquid wastes from water. 9–12 For example, Kulesza et al recently reported a nano-sized MOF for the adsorption of ibuprofen in an ethanol medium. 13 Another nano-sized Zr-MOF has been recently reported by Mukherjee et al for the selective adsorption of the same drug in an aqueous medium with better adsorption capacity.…”

“…13 Another nano-sized Zr-MOF has been recently reported by Mukherjee et al for the selective adsorption of the same drug in an aqueous medium with better adsorption capacity. 12 A highly water-stable series of UiO-66-drived MOFs including UiO-66-NH 2 , glycidyl methacrylate functionalized UiO-66-NH 2 (UiO-66-GMA) and ethylenediamine functionalized UiO-66-NH 2 (UiO-66-EDA) were solvothermally synthesized by Molavi et al and their adsorption performances toward two anti-cancer drugs, methotrexate (MTX) and curcumin (CUR), were investigated. Among the synthesized MOFs, UiO-66-EDA exhibited the highest adsorption capacities of 540.8 and 423.9 mg g −1 for MTX and CUR, respectively.…”
