Design, Enhanced Photoluminescence Properties of Ti Incorporated Zr-Networked 4-[Formyl (Hydroxymethylidene)-4-Sulfanyl] Benzoic Acid Metal Organic Frameworks

Abstract

Present study reports the enhanced photoluminescence properties of Ti incorporated Zr networked 4-{formyl (Hydroxymethylidine)-4-Sulfanyl] Benzoic Acid. The as-synthesized metal organic framework (MOF) was synthesized by solvothermal process and was analyzed by SEM (scanning electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction spectroscopy) and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The as-synthesized MOFs are well crystalline with average particle size of 35 to 56 nm. From XRD data X-ray diffraction patterns which illustrated the well maintained topological structure during the cation exchange process. From scanning electron microscopy study it shows irregular shape of MOFs.
