The generation of thin films of oriented functionalized metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) on self-assembled monolayers was achieved via direct growth from solution. Specifically, the direct growth from solvothermally pretreated synthesis solutions of two different MOF structures with amino functionality was investigated: the flexible framework structure NH2–Fe–MIL-88B and the mesoporous MOF NH2–F...

Acidity of solids is decisive for their interaction with guest molecules. One of the most used methods for measuring the acidity of surface hydroxyl groups is the hydrogen bond method based on the spectral shift of the OH stretching modes induced by the adsorption of weak bases. However, many materials of practical interest (e.g. metal organic frameworks, zeolites, etc.) are porous and the OH g...

The new aluminium based metal-organic framework [Al(OH)(O2C-C4H8-CO2)]·H2O denoted as Al-MIL-53-ADP-lp (lp stands for large pore) was synthesised under solvothermal conditions. This solid is an analogue of the archetypical aluminium terephthalate Al-MIL-53 based on the aliphatic single-chain linker molecule adipic acid (H2ADP, hexanedioic acid). In contrast to its aromatic counterparts, Al-MIL-...

In this work, the effects of preparation methods such as CE oven, microwave irradiation, and ultrasound on the morphology, particle size and crystallinity of MIL-53(Fe) are firstly investigated. Furthermore, the methods are utilized to prepare Pt NPs@MIL-53(Fe). As a result, well-defined Pt NPs@MIL-53(Fe) prepared by microwave irradiation exhibits uniformed morphology, hig...

Solid-state photovoltaic cells based on robust metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), MIL-125(Ti), MIL-125(Ti)-NH2, UiO-67, Ru(bpy)2-UiO-67, (bpy 2,2‘-bipyridine) as active components and spiro-MeOTAD (MeOTAD 2,2‘,7,7‘-tetrakis[N,N-di(p-methoxyphenyl)amino]-9,9′-spirobifluorene) hole transporting layer have been prepared., The response of this material increases in the presence bathochromic −NH2 grou...

Nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) microcantilevers are fabricated and MIL-53 (Al) metal-organic framework (MOF) layers are directly synthesized on each cantilever surface by using the aluminum oxide as the metal ion source. Exposure of the MIL53-AAO cantilevers to various concentrations of CO2, N2, CO, and Ar induces changes in their deflections and resonance frequencies. The results of th...

MIL-53-Cu has been synthesized hydrothermally and has been used for the first time for gas separation. MIL-53-Cu shows adsorption capacities of 8.1, 0.7 and 0.5 m.mol/g, respectively, for CH4, CO2 and H2 at 30 bar and 298 K. The high CH4 adsorption capacity of MIL-53-Cu maybe attributed to the high pore volume and large number of open metal sites....
