MOF nanoparticles as heterogeneous catalysts for direct amide bond formations

Abstract

Ultra-small isoreticular UiO-type metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with different functionalized and extended linkers are evaluated for catalytic direct amide bond formation.

MOF catalysis meets biochemistry: molecular insights from the hydrolytic activity of MOFs towards biomolecules

“…One clear example was the formation of amide bonds, which explored the same binding equilibrium to push the reaction in the opposite direction to hydrolysis. 46,47…”

A turn-on fluorescent Zn(ii) metal–organic framework sensor for quantitative anthrax biomarker detection

“…Because of their intrinsic characteristics and superior physical performance, MOFs with structural versatility and functional tunability offer the opportunity to construct abundant aesthetic structures and introduce prospective functionalities. [8][9][10] Up to now, MOFs have shown superior physical performance in various fields, such as gas adsorption and separation, [11][12][13][14][15][16] biological imaging, [17][18][19] heterogeneous catalysis, [20][21][22] luminescence and other fields with great potential. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] In particular, the application of MOFs as sensing materials is one of their most important applications.…”

Effects of Fluorinated Functionalization of Linker on Quercetin Encapsulation, Release and Hela Cell Cytotoxicity of Cu‐Based MOFs as Smart pH‐Stimuli Nanocarriers

“…[36] Among these, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), "created from the self-assembly of coordination bonds between organic linkers and metal ions, have gained considerable attention for various applications in recent years. [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] Various applications have been attracted to MOFs in the past few years including the synthesis of nanomaterials, [44] catalysis, [45][46][47] gas storage, [48][49][50][51][52] and antibacterial activity. [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62] According to numerous studies, MOFs possess several special properties, including high surface area, low density, adjustable pore sizes, stability, and unique aqueous solubility, which have turned them into ideal compounds as carriers in drug delivery systems.…”
