Isoreticular metal-organic frameworks IRMOFs

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-... 

Isoreticular metal organic framework (IRMOF) materials were part of the series of MOF materials used in the identification of the correlation between hydrogen saturation amount and Langmuir surface area determined from nitrogen adsorption at 77Hydrogen adsorption on...

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...
