Current trends in the synthesis, characterization and application of metal-organic frameworks

Abstract

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of porous inorganic - organic high profile hybrid compounds that have attracted much attention in recent times due to their stunning properties....

Fluorescent nano- and microparticles for sensing cellular microenvironment: past, present and future applications

“…159 For this reason, in recent years, researchers have explored MOFs as promising devices because of their intrinsic characteristics: rst, encapsulated dyes and therapeutic drugs can diffuse easily from the core owing to the high porosity of the material; second, the encapsulation of sensing molecules can enhance the photostability and reduce the self-quenching phenomenon; lastly, the covalent bounds between the metal and organic linkers prevent unforeseen leaching. 160,161 Thus, exploiting the challenging properties of MOF, Xu and co-workers prepared a nanomaterial R-UiO-based having Pt-5,15-di(p-benzoato) porphyrin (H 2 DBP-Pt) (l ex = 570 nm; l em = 595 nm) as bridging ligand, sensible to changes in O 2 concentration, and RBITCconjugated quaterphenyldicarboxylate (l ex = 570 nm; l em = 595 nm), as reference uorophore. 158 The authors recorded linear Stern-Volmer regression when the R-UiO was calibrated in the presence of different concentrations of O 2 .…”

Mechanochemical Synthesis and Three-Dimensional Electron Diffraction Structure Solution of a Novel Cu-Based Protocatechuate Metal–Organic Framework

“…Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials heavily studied in the past decades. − The reason for a similar interest should be retrieved in the enormous number of applications like energy storage, sensing, drug delivery, water purification, , catalysis, gas sorption, or separation . In recent years, few studies have moved forward to a new generation of bio-MOFs.…”

Multifunctional MgAl LDH/Zn-MOF S-scheme heterojunction: efficient hydrogen production, methyl red removal, and CO2 adsorption

“…14 They are formed by arranging organic ligands and metal atomic cluster structures. 15 Different synthesis methods have been developed for MOFs, including ultrasonic synthesis and micro-emulsion technology. 15 Polycarboxylate organic ligands are effective building blocks.…”
