Mesoporous MIL-101(Cr) is used as host for a ship-in-a-bottle type adsorbent for selective U(VI) recovery from aqueous environments. The acid-resistant cage-type MOF is built in-situ around N,N-Diisobutyl-2-(octylphenylphosphoryl)acetamide (CMPO), a sterically demanding ligand with high U(VI) affinity. This one-step procedure yields an adsorbent which is an ideal compromise between homogeneous ...

Postsynthetic modification of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has proven a hugely powerful tool to tune physical properties and introduce functionality, by exploiting reactive sites on both the MOF linkers their...

A mixed-metal metal-organic framework, (Al,Ga)-MIL-53, synthesised by post-synthetic ion exchange has been investigated using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. 17O enrichment during...

It has come to our attention that the following sentence contains an error: “However, while octahedra in MIL-53 are cis-connected, CAU-10 trans-connected.” The words “cis” and “trans” should be swapped read trans-connected, cis-connected.”

Ferrocene is strongly adsorbed by the highly porous metal-organic framework compound [Al(OH)(bdc)l], (MIL-53; bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate). The structure of the crystalline phase {[Fe(eta5-C5H5)2][Al(OH)(bdc)]2}x, was determined by X-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld methods. The ferrocene molecules are arranged in a 1D chain-like fashion and their cyclopentadienyl rings are oriented almos...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are currently considered as strong adsorbents to remove organic pollutants due their unique characteristics. The main aim of this study is synthesize the MIL-101(Cr)/Sulfasalazine (Cr-TA@SSZ) hybrid by a hydrothermal approach for first time. Due presence different functional groups such amino, hydroxyl, and carboxyl in structure Sulfasalazine its good activity, c...
