Transition metal coordination frameworks as artificial nanozymes for dopamine detection <i>via</i> peroxidase-like activity

Carbon Nanodots as Peroxidase Nanozymes for Biosensing.

'Nanozymes', a term coined by Scrimin, Pasquato, and co-workers to describe nanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics, represent an exciting and emerging research area in the field of artificial enzymes. Indubitably, the last decade has witnessed substantial advancements in the design of a variety of functional nanoscale materials, including metal oxides and carbon-based nanomaterials, whi...

Nanomaterials with enzyme-like characteristics (nanozymes): next-generation artificial enzymes.

Over the past few decades, researchers have established artificial enzymes as highly stable and low-cost alternatives to natural enzymes in a wide range of applications. A variety of materials including cyclodextrins, metal complexes, porphyrins, polymers, dendrimers and biomolecules have been extensively explored to mimic the structures and functions of naturally occurring enzymes. Recently, s...

Novel Porous Iron Molybdate Catalysts for Synthesis of Dimethoxymethane from Methanol: Metal Organic Frameworks as Precursors

As a novel performance, methanol gas conversion to dimethoxymethane (DMM) in one-step based on Fe-Mo-O (iron molybdate mixed oxides) catalysts with high surface area fabricated by metal organic frameworks (MOFs) precursors was improved. For this approach, at first, Fe(III) precursors (iron (III) 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (MIL-100 (Fe) and iron terephthalate (MOF-...

Photochemistry of Transition Metal Coordination Compounds

Coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks: materials by design.

The field of coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has evolved over a period of approximately 25 years to a stage where it is one of the most widely investigated areas of materials chemistry. The field has impacted many areas of science including commercial applications from gas storage agents to new investigations as drug-delivery vehicles [1]. Coordination polymers and MOF...
