After a decade focused on fundamental synthetic and structural aspects, the chemistry of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) is rapidly moving toward industrial application and large-scale commercialization
Zirconium based MOFs are today considered benchmark compounds for their high stability in different media, low cost, and high structural versatility, which allows them to be employed in a vast number of strategic applications in the fields of catalysis,[1−4] gas[5] and solvent sorption,[6,7] separation,[8,9] proton conductivity[10] and for biomedical purposes.[11,12]
We report an extensive study on the screening of solvents that could eventually be selected as an alternative for the synthesis of BDC-UiO-66
Summary
After a decade focused on fundamental synthetic and structural aspects, the chemistry of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) is rapidly moving toward industrial application and large-scale commercialization. Zirconium based MOFs are today considered benchmark compounds for their high stability in different media, low cost, and high structural versatility, which allows them to be employed in a vast number of strategic applications in the fields of catalysis,[1−4] gas[5] and solvent sorption,[6,7] separation,[8,9] proton conductivity[10] and for biomedical purposes.[11,12] The archetypal Zr-MOF is the UiO-66 phase of general formula Zr6O4(OH)4(BDC)6·nDMF (H2-BDC = benzene dicarboxylic acid) first synthesized in 2008 by Lillerud et al.[13] From its discovery to date, the number of papers citing. The porosity of UiO-66 is variable (BET surface area in the 900 to 1600 m2/g range) owing to the possibility to generate a defective structure by using monocarboxylic acid modulators during synthesis, which lead the formation of missing linker or missing cluster defects.[14−18] The early stage synthesis of UiO-66 involved the use of ZrCl4 as the Zr4+
