Developing economic and sustainable synthetic strategies for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is imperative for promoting MOF materials into large scale industrial use. Very recently, an alternative strategy for MOF synthesis by using solvent-insoluble "solid matters" as cation reservoirs and/or templates has been developed to accomplish this goal, in which the solid matters often refer to metal...

A novel cadmium(II) based MOF, [Cd(?–ppza)]n (1) (H2ppza = 3–(pyridin–4–yl)–1H–pyrazole–5–carboxylic acid) was synthesized under solvothermal condition. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the title MOF 1 crystallizes in triclinic system with P–1 space group, and each Cd(II) is coordinated five (Hppza)2? ions forming a distorted octahedron. carboxylic group ligand acts as bridge l...

The present review describes recent advances in the concept of molecular imprinting using metal organic frameworks (MOF) for development of chemical sensors. Two main strategies regarding the fabrication, performance and applications of recent sensors based on molecularly imprinted polymers associated with MOF are presented: molecularly imprinted MOF films and molecularly imprinted core-shell n...

Multiple organ failure (MOF) is associated with a high rate of mortality in trauma patients. Several studies focused on long-term outcome in these patients, and showed that MOF is related to both in-hospital and late mortality and functional status. Exact mechanism of sequelae in MOF is still unclear. The distinction between early and late MOF probably helps to separate two different clinical c...

A photobase generator was used to induce metal-organic framework (MOF) nucleation upon UV irradiation. This method was further developed into a simple, one-step method for depositing patterned MOF films. Furthermore, the ability of our method to coat a single substrate with MOF films having different chemical compositions is illustrated. The method is an important step towards integrating MOF d...

A series of three remarkable complexes [PMo12O40]@[Cu6O(TZI)3(H2O)9]4·OH·31H2O (H3TZI = 5-tetrazolylisophthalic acid; denoted as HLJU-1, HLJU = Heilongjiang University), [SiMo12O40]@[Cu6O(TZI)3(H2O)9]4·32H2O (denoted as HLJU-2), and [PW12O40]@[Cu6O(TZI)3(H2O)6]4·OH·31H2O (denoted as HLJU-3) have been isolated by using simple one-step solvothermal reaction of copper chloride, 5-tetrazolylisophth...

We demonstrate a novel, simple synthetic method for metal (Ni) NPs in a MOF using the partial thermal decomposition of nickel(II) 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate (Ni-MOF-74). The Ni NPs inside the Ni-MOF-74 are several nanometers in size, and the size can be precisely controlled by the heating conditions.

The thermal conductivity of MOF-5 single crystals is measured over a wide temperature range between 6 K and 300 K, using the longitudinal, steady-state heat flow method. Between 6 K and 20 K, the thermal conductivity increases with the increase in temperature and exhibits a peak near 20 K. This peak results from the crossover between the decreasing mean free path and the increasing phonon speci...

BACKGROUND Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted more attention in the last decade because of a suitable pore size, large surface area, and high pore volume. Developing biocompatible MOFs such as the MIL family as a drug delivery system is possible. PURPOSE Flurbiprofen (FBP), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent, is practically insoluble in aqueous solution, and, therefore, needs ...

A Cu(II)-phenanthroline connected Strandberg-type polyoxometalate based proton conducting MOF, Cu(3)Mo(5)P(2), that contains one dimensional parallel water channels has been reported. Cu(3)Mo(5)P(2) shows proton conduction at room temperature as well as elevated temperature.
