Control of heterogeneous catalytic sites through their surrounding chemical environment at an atomic level is crucial to catalyst design. We synthesize Pd nanoclusters (NCs) in an atomically tunable chemical environment using isoreticular metal–organic framework (MOF) supports (Pd@UiO-66-X, X = H, NH2, OMe). In an aerobic reaction between benzaldehyde and ethylene glycol, these catalysts show p...

To study the degradation of tetracycline by Bi2S3-based binary composite and ternary photocatalysts, Cu2O/Bi2S3 NH2-UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi2S3 was successfully fabricated solvothermal method, which can effectively stably degrade (TC). The crystal structure, chemical composition, microscopic morphology as-prepared sample were analysed X-ray diffraction (XRD) scanning electron microscopy (SEM). photocata...

In our study, we show by solid-state (15)N NMR measurements that an important zirconium metal-organic framework (UiO-66) with amino-functionalized links is composed of a mixture of amino and -NH(3)(+)Cl(-) salt functionalities rather than all amino functionality to give a composition of Zr(6)O(4)(OH)(4)(BDC-NH(2))(4)(BDC-NH(3)(+)Cl(-))(2) (UiO-66-A). UiO-66-A was postsynthetically modified to f...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of materials that has shown great potential in catalysis, sensing, separations, and carbon capture storage. Conventionally, MOFs synthesized at lab-scale using organic solvent-based systems, leading to high environmental burdens operating costs, which ultimately hinders the large-scale production application MOFs. Aqueous synthesis overcomes such ...
