Highly Proton‐Conductive Zinc Metal‐Organic Framework Based On Nickel(II) Porphyrinylphosphonate

“…Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials possessing a unique set of tunable parameters, which are successfully applied in the processes of sorption, storage and separation of various gases, in luminescence and photonic devices, catalysis, and medicine . Their functionality is also of great interest for the development of approaches towards new sources of alternative energy, including proton‐conducting materials .…”

“…Herein, an ew anionic porphyrinylphosphonate-based MOF (IPCE-1Ni), which involves dimethylammonium( DMA)c ations for charge compensation, is reported.A saresult of its uniques tructure, IPCE-1Ni exhibits one of the highest value of the protonc onductivity among reported proton-conducting MOF materials based on porphyrins (1.55 10 À3 Scm À1 at 75 8Ca nd 80 %r elative humidity).Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials possessing au nique set of tunable parameters, which are successfully applied in the processes of sorption, storage and separation of various gases, [1][2][3] in luminescence and photonic devices, [4,5] catalysis, [6][7][8] and medicine. [9][10][11] Their functionality is also of great interestf or the development of approaches towards new sources of alternative energy,i ncludingproton-conducting materials. [12,13] An advantage of using MOFs as protonc onductors determinedb yt he high crystallinity of such materials, which makes it possible to identify and simulate the possible protonh opping and conduction pathways.…”

Polymer/Metal Organic Framework (MOF) Nanocomposites for Biomedical Applications

“…The most important fields of BioMOF utilization can be summarized as adsorption/encapsulation, the protection and delivery of molecular therapeutics (drug delivery), enantioseparation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), photothermal therapy, biomimetic catalysis, biobanking, biosensing, and cell and various manipulations, etc. [50,51].…”

“…has hindered the possibilities of obtaining crystalline frameworks with the desired properties. Among the most intensively studied biomolecules are nucleobases, amino acids, peptides and proteins, porphyrins, metalloporphyrins, and cyclodextrin [21,50,57,58]. More details can be found in the very recent comprehensive review by Cai et al [50].…”

“…This material showed a pioneering high surface area (4300 m 2 g −1 ) and total pore volume (4.3 cm 3 g −1 ) as well as very low crystal density (~0.3 g cm −3 ). The structure and the zinc-anadinate SBU as well as an illustration of the three-dimensional structure with large cavities can be seen in Figure 3b-e. Other strategies involve the use of low symmetry small biomolecules in order to form cyclic oligomers or post-synthetic covalently attaching biomolecules on the existing MOFs, or encapsulating biomolecules inside the pores by permeation or diffusion [50].…”
