Development of a highly porous Fe-based MOF using symmetrically incompatible building blocks: Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols

Tailoring Metal–Organic Frameworks and Derived Materials for High-Performance Zinc–Air and Alkaline Batteries

“…After the hydrothermal treatment, this characteristic peak vanishes because of the reduction of the oxygen-bearing functional groups in GO, and a broad diffraction peak appears at 2θ of 25.1°that can be ascribed to the (002) diffraction of the reduced GO (Figure 2a). The XRD pattern of the asprepared Fe-MOF is in accordance with the patterns reported previously by some of us, 53 denoting that the pure Fe-MOF has successfully been synthesized (Figure S2a). The Fe-MOF three-dimensional (3D) architecture was obtained by linking each Fe 3 O cluster to four carboxylate functional groups of TPBTM 6− , one central μ 3 oxo-anion, and one terminal water/ hydroxide anion to form an octahedral coordination sphere for the Fe 3 O cluster.…”

“…The Fe-MOF three-dimensional (3D) architecture was obtained by linking each Fe 3 O cluster to four carboxylate functional groups of TPBTM 6− , one central μ 3 oxo-anion, and one terminal water/ hydroxide anion to form an octahedral coordination sphere for the Fe 3 O cluster. 53 These Fe 3 O clusters, linked together through TPBTM 6− linkers, form a pillar-layered three-dimensional architecture of the Fe-MOF with two types of onedimensional channels along the c-axis with estimated diameters of 1.2 and 0.6 nm and exhibit a high specific surface area of 1800 m 2 g −1 (please refer to the original paper for full details). For the preparation of the catalyst and the negative electrode material for a superbattery, the Fe-MOF and GO (synthesized via a modified Hummers method 54 ) were reacted hydrothermally in an autoclave in the presence of urea that serves as both a reducing agent and a nitrogen source.…”

Hierarchical Co@C-N synthesized by the confined pyrolysis of ionic liquid@metal–organic frameworks for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols

“…The development of low-cost catalysts for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol is highly meaningful in the chemical industry [1][2][3] as benzaldehyde is highly important for synthesizing vitamins, fragrances, and fine chemicals. 4 Heterogeneous noble-metal-based (Au, Pt, etc.)…”

Acyl amide-functionalized and water-stable iron-based MOF for rapid and selective dye removal

“…The N 2 sorption/desorption measurement (Fig. 2c), indicated that the BET surface area of 1858 m 2 g −1 as well as the total pore volume of 0.74 cm 3 g −1 were slightly improved compared to those reported previously (1738 m 2 g −1 and 0.69 cm 3 g −1 for BET and total pore volume, respectively), 30 which could be related to the modified activation process. The water stability of the adsorbent is very important, especially for water purification applications.…”

“…Very recently, it was proved that by using a preformed Fe 3 O-trimer cluster and a flexible hexacarboxylate (H 6 TPBTM) linker, that it is possible to direct the final MOF assembly towards a water stable structure with a high permanent porosity (Fe-MOF). 30 Because of the high BET surface area, functional channels, large pore dimension, easy gram scale fabrication, and especially, water stability, the Fe-MOF was applied as sorbent for anionic and cationic organic dye removal (Fig. S1, ESI †).…”
