Incorporation of Functional Groups Expands the Applications of UiO‐67 for Adsorption, Catalysis and Thiols Detection

Abstract

This review explores the structures and properties of UiO‐67 and its derivatives as well as the corresponding synthetic and characterization method. With remarkably high surface area, high thermal and chemical stabilities and excellent mechanical properties, UiO‐67 is very promising and competitive among kinds of metal‐organic frameworks. UiO‐67 not only has good performance on some gases adsorption and storage and removal of organophosphorus pesticides, but also can act as the catalyst in the nerve‐agent hydrolysis. More importantly, by introducing various functional organic linkers into UiO‐67 framework or incorporating different metal complexes and other functional groups, the resulting derivatives of UiO‐67 can improve its water stability, show enhanced gases adsorption properties and expand the application of UiO‐67 such as catalytic hydrolysis of phosphate‐ester, catalytic detoxication of chemical warfare agents, catalytic promotion of Friedel–Crafts reactions, Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction, C−C and C−H bond activation reactions and a series of photocatalytic reactions, catalytic addition of asymmetric aldol, micromotor engines, detection of some biological thiols and so on.

Advances in metal–organic framework-based hydrogel materials: preparation, properties and applications

“…The classic UIO-66 was synthesized by a hydrothermal method with 2-aminoterephthalic acid (NH 2 -BDC) and zirconium, which showed good stability in water and acid solutions. 252–255…”

“…The classic UIO-66 was synthesized by a hydrothermal method with 2-aminoterephthalic acid (NH 2 -BDC) and zirconium, which showed good stability in water and acid solutions. [252][253][254][255] As shown in Fig. 9A and B, Pan et al utilized a synergistic method of using a high internal phase emulsion (HIPEs) droplet reactor, which packs a reactive micro-inclusion to synthesize a boronate-based imprinted hydrogel (named H-UIO-66-NH 2 -IHIPEs), which was applied for highly selective adsorption of luteolin (LTL).…”

Optimization of Visible-Light-Driven Ciprofloxacin Degradation Using a Z-Scheme Semiconductor MgFe2O4/UiO-67

“…27,28 UiO-67 is a MOF based on zirconium, which consists of Zr 6 O 4 (OH) 4 clusters and biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate organic linkers. 29 Distinctive features of UiO-67 include extremely large surface area (>1000 m 2 /g), high thermal and chemical stability, including stability in water, 30 moderate alkalinity tolerance. 31 However, UiO-67 also exhibits certain disadvantages, such as a fast electron−hole recombination rate, photocatalytic activation limited to the ultraviolet (UV) region, 19 and challenging separation for recycling.…”

UiO-67 metal–organic gel material deposited on photonic crystal matrix for photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen production

“…7,9 A typical representative of the Zr-MOF series, UiO-67 has been shown to have ionic channels for effective solvation of lithium ions beneting from its larger pore channels (1.2-2.3 nm). [9][10][11] UiO-67 can maintain the physical integrity of electrode microstructures and mitigate the rate of anode degradation that presently limits the lifetime of anodes. 12 Furthermore, some strategies for applying UiO-67 in photocatalysis are usually to load photoactive species comprising multicomponent molecular Re, Ru or Ir complexes into its structure, resulting in higher quantum efficiency or turnover number.…”
