Stability Improvement Methods and Application Progress of Metal-Organic Frameworks

Recent progress in the synthesis of metal–organic frameworks

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted considerable attention for various applications due to their tunable structure, porosity and functionality. In general, MOFs have been synthesized from isolated metal ions and organic linkers under hydrothermal or solvothermal conditions via one-spot reactions. The emerging precursor approach and kinetically tuned dimensional augmentation strategy ...

Parameterizing and grading hydrolytic stability in metal-organic frameworks.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous solid, which have a variety of potential applications. Unfortunately, MOFs often lack hydrolytic stability, which hinders their use as viable materials for large scale applications. Though there have been an increasing number of reports proving water stability, this aspect is often ignored and negative results often remain unpublished. As a ...

Metal-organic frameworks: structure, properties, methods of synthesis and characterization

Stability of metal-organic frameworks under gamma irradiation.

We report the study of the resistance of archetypal MOFs (MILs, HKUST-1, UiO-66, and ZIF-8) under gamma irradiation. The different porous solids were irradiated with doses up to 1.75 MGy. All the MOFs constructed with transition metals (Cu2+, Zn2+, Zr4+) exhibit an evident destruction of the framework, whereas the compounds constructed with aluminium remain intact.

The preparation of metal–organic frameworks and their biomedical application

The development of a safe and targetable drug carrier is a major challenge. An efficient delivery system should protect cargo from degradation and cleanup, and control of drug release in the target site. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), consisting of metal ions and a variety of organic ligands, have been applied for drug delivery due to their distinct structure. In this review, we summarized th...
