Secondary building units, nets and bonding in the chemistry of metal-organic frameworks.

Structures of Metal-Organic Frameworks with Rod Secondary Building Units.

Rod MOFs are metal-organic frameworks in which the metal-containing secondary building units consist of infinite rods of linked metal-centered polyhedra. For such materials, we identify the points of extension, often atoms, which define the interface between the organic and inorganic components of the structure. The pattern of points of extension defines a shape such as a helix, ladder, helical...

Influence of amine group on the adsorptive removal of basic dyes from water using two nanoporous isoreticular Zn(II)-based metal organic frameworks

Dyes are the most abundant hazardous components existing in the environment because of their extensive use in industries. So, in the present study, two isoreticular Zn(II)-MOFs, TMU-16 and TMU-16-NH2, were used for the adsorptive removal of harmful cationic dyes from aquatic medium. In order ...

Metal-organic frameworks of cobalt and nickel centers with carboxylate and pyridine functionality linkers: Thermal and physical properties; precursors for metal oxide nanoparticle preparation

This  article  provides  an  overview  on  preparation,  design,  crystal structure  and  properties  of  some  metal-organic  frameworks  of carboxylate coordination polymers mixed with pyridine-functionality linkers  prepared  in  our  laboratory.  The  article  covers  coordination polymers  in  two-  and  three-dimensional  supramolecular architectures. The reported coordination polyme...

Corundum, diamond, and PtS metal-organic frameworks with a difference: self-assembly of a unique pair of 3-connecting D2d-symmetric 3,3',5,5'-tetrakis(4-pyridyl)bimesityl.

There is an upsurge of interest in the synthesis of coordination polymers in contemporary supramolecular chemistry, as coordination polymerization may lead to materials with controllable functions such as porosity, sensing, nonlinear optical (NLO) activity, and chirality. Crystal engineering based on predesigned organic linkers and metal centers (building blocks) with specific coordination geom...
