“…21 In this method, the secondary building units of MOF that are mostly composed of metal oxide clusters in angstrom scale were transformed into metal oxide nanomaterials by thermal treatments. Search in the case of fabrication nanomaterials from metal-organic frameworks, as new precursors, indicates that nanomaterials such as ZnO nanoparticles from [Zn 2 (btec)(DMF) 2 ] n , (btec ¼ 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate, DMF ¼ N,N-dimethylformamide), 22 Zn 2 (1,4bdc) 2 (dabco), (1,4-bdc ¼ 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, dabco ¼ 1,4diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane), 23 TiO 2 nanoparticles from MIL-125 and MIL-125-NH 2 , 24 CuO nanostructures from {[Cu 2 (BDC-NH 2 ) 2 (dabco)]DMF$3H 2 O, 25 and Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles from Co 3 (NDC) 3 (DMF) 4 , (NDC ¼ 2,6-naphthalene-dicarboxylate; DMF ¼ N,N 0 -dimethyl formamide) 26 were prepared. In addition to metal oxide nanomaterials, metal-organic frameworks also can be used for preparation of porous carbons.…”
