Abstract
The chromium terephthalate metal–organic framework, MIL-101 (MIL, Material Institut Lavoisier), is comprised of trimeric chromium(III) octahedral clusters interconnected by 1,4-benzenedicarboxylates, resulting in a highly porous 3-dimentional structure. The large pores (29 and 34 A) and high BET surface area (>3000 m2 g−1) with a huge cell volume (≈702 000 A3) together with the coordinatively unsaturated open metal sites that can be subjected to diverse post-synthesis functionalization or guest encapsulation, and excellent hydrothermal/chemical stability, make MIL-101 particularly attractive for applications, such as selective gas adsorption/separation, energy storage and heterogeneous catalysis. This paper reviews the current status of research and development on the synthesis, functionalization and applications of MIL-101 for adsorption/catalytic reactions.
