Fluorinated metal-organic frameworks

Fluorinated Metal-Organic Frameworks (FMOFs) Concept, Construction, and Properties... 

By attaching hydrophobic moieties with postmodification method or generating MOFs with hydrophobic ligands, one can obtain MOFs with more hydrophobicity. Yang et al. synthesized some fluorinated metal-organic frameworks (FMOFs) in which hydrogen atoms were substituted with fluorine atoms in all ligands. These fluorinated MOFs had enhanced thermal stability...

Metal-Organic Framework Materials covers topics describing recent advances made by top researchers in MOFs including nanoparticles and nanoscale frameworks, mesoporous frameworks, photoreactive frameworks, polyrotaxane frameworks, and even edible frameworks, as well as functionalized frameworks based on porphyrins, fluorine, and alumimun. In addition, the volume features aspects on mechanochemical synthesis and post-synthetic modification, which provide discussions on new vistas...
