Metal–Organic Frameworks: Molecules or Semiconductors in Photocatalysis?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) offer unique possibilities for the rational engineering of tailored physical properties. Nevertheless, molecular and porous nature MOFs leaves field juxtapositioned between semiconductor physics homogeneous photocatalysis. This Review reflects on how can resemble conventional semiconductors they are more like infinite molecules in solution.

Water Purification by Photocatalysis on Semiconductors
This paper describes the basics of photocatalysis on semiconductors, mainly on TiO2 and the application of photocatalytic processes to water purification from organic matter. The second chapter is devoted to metal cocatalysts introduced in order to improve the photocatalytic action of titania. Finally, a short review of more interesting practical applications of the processes is presented.
متن کاملRecent advances in carbon dioxide capture with metalorganic frameworks
Uncontrolled massive release of the primary greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) into atmosphere from anthropogenic activities poses a big threat and adversely affects our global climate and natural environment. One promising approach to mitigate CO2 emission is carbon capture and storage (CCS), in which ideal adsorbent materials with high storage capacity and excellent adsorption selectivity ov...
متن کاملPolymeric Frameworks as Organic Semiconductors with Controlled Electronic Properties
The rational assembly of monomers, in principle, enables the design of a specific periodicity of polymeric frameworks, leading to a tailored set of electronic structure properties in these solid-state materials. The further development of these emerging systems requires a combination of both experimental and theoretical studies. Here, we investigated the electronic structures of two-dimensional...
متن کاملEnergetics and Vibrational Frequencies of Interstitial H2 Molecules in Semiconductors
The incorporation of H2 molecules on interstitial sites in various semiconductors is investigated using a density-functional-pseudopotential approach. The vibrational frequency of the interstitial molecules is shifted down compared to the free molecule. The results confirm a recent assignment of Raman lines to interstitial H2 in GaAs [Vetterhöffer et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 5409 (1996)], but ...
متن کاملDrug delivery and controlled release from biocompatible metalorganic frameworks using mechanical amorphization
We have used a family of Zr-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with different functionalized (bromo, nitro and amino) and extended linkers for drug delivery. We loaded the materials with the fluorescent model molecule calcein and the anticancer drug a-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (a-CHC), and consequently performed a mechanical amorphization process to attempt to control the delivery of gues...
