Nanoporous ionic organic networks: from synthesis to materials applications

Nanoporous ionic organic networks: from synthesis to materials applications.

The past decade has witnessed rapid progress in the synthesis of nanoporous organic networks or polymer frameworks for various potential applications. Generally speaking, functionalization of porous networks to add extra properties and enhance materials performance could be achieved either during the pore formation (thus a concurrent approach) or by post-synthetic modification (a sequential app...

Prospects for Nanoporous Metal-Organic Materials in Advanced Separations Processes

New materials spur new technologies. Nanoporous metalorganic materials — “soft materials”analogues of zeolites, but with all of the chemical diversity of carbon compounds — may be compelling examples of this path from materials to technologies. Research teams investigating this new class of materials are trying to develop adsorbents and membranes that will revolutionize small-molecule separatio...

Nanoporous materials.

The current review article attempts to cover the field of nanoporous materials, thereby materials with voids of the order of 1 nm to 100 nm or even larger. Concepts, that have an effect on a more general basis, are introduced and the common features among the different classes of nanoporous materials are demonstrated enabling understanding their formation and stability. It is seen that the most...

Synthesis of orderly nanoporous aluminophosphate and zirconium phosphate materials and their catalytic applications.

Amorphous alumino phosphate (AP) and zirconium phosphate (ZP) materials possessing an ordered nanoporosity have been successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method using a P123 block co-polymer as the structure directing agent. The materials exhibited excellent catalytic activity towards selective alkylation of phenol with cyclohexanol, where AP showed as high as 100% selectivity to produce ...
