The first example of a zirconium-oxide based metal-organic framework constructed from monocarboxylate ligands.

In this paper, the effect of nanocatalytic metal-organic framework based on copper metal and bis-tetrazolamine (CuBTA) ligand functionalized with cobalt (II) oxide nanoparticles on the thermal decomposition behavior of ammonium perchlorate (AP), using differential survey calorimetry (DSC) has been reviewed. First, the metal-organic framework (CuBTA) was synthesized from the raw materials of cop...

Effects of ultrasound on properties of ni-metal organic framework nanostructures

Objective(s): According to the unique properties of magnetic nanoparticles, Nickel Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) was synthesized successfully by ultrasound irradiation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are organic–inorganic hybrid extended networks that are constructed via covalent linkages between metal ions/metal clusters and organic ligands called a linker. Materials and Methods: The nanopar...

Synthesis of Different Copper Oxide Nano-Structures From Direct Thermal Decomposition of Porous Copper(ΙΙ) Metal-Organic Framework Precursors

Copper oxide nanostructures have been successfully synthesized via one-step solid-state thermolysis of two metal-organic frameworks, [Cu3(btc)2] (1) and [Cu(tpa).(dmf)] (2), (btc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate, tpa = therephtalic acid = 1,4-benzendicarboxylic acid and dmf = dimethyl formamide) under air atmosphere at 400,  500, and 600°C. It has also been found that the reaction temperature pla...

Superior removal of arsenic from water with zirconium metal-organic framework UiO-66

In this study, water stable zirconium metal-organic framework (UiO-66) has been synthesized and for the first time applied as an adsorbent to remove aquatic arsenic contamination. The as-synthesized UiO-66 adsorbent functions excellently across a broad pH range of 1 to 10, and achieves a remarkable arsenate uptake capacity of 303 mg/g at the optimal pH, i.e., pH = 2. To the best of our knowledg...

Synthesis and Characterization of Nano-Structure Copper Oxide From Two Different Copper (II) Metal-Organic Framework Precursors

Nano-structured copper oxides were successfully prepared through direct calcination of 1D ladderlike metal-organic framework [Cu2(btec)(2,2'-bipy)2]∞, (btec = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate and 2,2'-bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and porous coordination polymer [Cu(BDC)(bipy)](BDCH2), (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate; bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine). The nano-structure of the as-synthesized samples are charac...
