METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS specificity

The above requirements directed our attention to the specific surface features of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF) [6,7] and graphite oxides (GO) [8,9]. The former are... 

Construction AND Structure of Metal-Organic Frameworks with Specific Ion-Exchange Property... 

Series of Special Issues cover various aspects of microporous molecular sieves, metal-organic frameworks and ordered mesoporous materials. Synthesis principles, templating, formation mechanisms, characterization methods, functionalization strategies, and applications are discussed in excellent and comprehensive review articles and more specific research reports. 

Apart from zeolites and clays, other materials, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have also been explored as template to produce porous carbons. Recently, Liu et al. have synthesised porous carbon by heating the carbon precursor furfuryl alcohol within the pores of MOF-5. The resultant carbon exhibits high specific surface area up to 2872 m g and high pore volume of 2 cm g but possesses both micropores and mesopores. This porous carbon material shows good hydrogen uptake of 2.6 wt% at 760 Torr and —196 °C, as well as excellent electrochemical properties as an electrode material for an electrochemical double-layered capacitor. 

The dobdc ligand (Figure 9.36d) shows remarkable versatility for metal-organic frameworks. MOFs of the general formula M2(dobdc) (M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn) have been prepared. The chemical and physical properties of M2(dobdc) MOFs are heavily influenced by the specific metal ion incorporated. Figure 9.40 shows a two- and three-dimensional perspective of the pores formed by Zn-MOF-74 (Zn2(dobdc)). ... 

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as a new class of porous materials, are well-known for high specific surface areas and high porosity that have potential applications in gas storage and separation, catalysis, sensor, and drug delivery (Furukawa et al., 2010). In recent years, the exploration of MOFs as electrode materials for supercapacitors has also been...
