Isoreticular metal organic framework

Figure 4.1 clearly illustrates the modular construction of MOFs, with ligands used as pillars and metal clusters as node points. One unique feature of MOFs seems to be the possibihty to systematically modify their lattice. For instance, by replacing the terephthalate ligands of MOF-5 (Figure 4.1) with different dicarboxylate ligands, a family of isoreticular metal-organic frameworks (known in literature as the...

In the present work we show the results of a systematic study and give an overview over the properties of a wide range of isoreticular metal-organic frameworks. First results of calculations with an exchanged metal atom (Cu) in the connector are presented as well (Cu3(BTC)2(H20)3 BTC 1,3,5-benzene-tricarboxylate in the following will be used Cu-BTC). For a more detailed study the reader is referred to Ref. 18. 

A large number of MOFs have been synthesized and reported by researchers to date. Isoreticular metal-organic frameworks (IRMOFs) denoted as IRMOF-n (n = 1 through 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16) are one of the most widely studied MOFs in the literature. These compounds possess cubic framework stmctures in which each mem-... 

An ideal class of materials to study in this context are the isoreticular metal-organic frameworks synthesised by Yaghi and co-workers [5, 6], which consist of oxide-centered Zn40 tetrahedra linked by six dicarboxylates as illustrated in Fig. 1 b. The resulting materials feature extended, open, three-dimensional frameworks. Because all IRMOFs are built from the same comer unit and have the same network topology and therefore only vary in the linker molecules, they allow the systematic study of the influence of the linker molecules on adsorption.

The metal centers in many important MOFs are zinc(II) with the IRMOFs (isoreticular metal-organic frameworks) and ZIFs (zeolitic imidazolate frameworks) being the two most important series. Zn (/= 5/2) is the only stable NMR-active isotope of zinc. Unfortunately, it has a small gyromagnetic ratio...
