There is an increasing interest in the amorphous states of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous coordination polymers, which can be produced by pressure-induced amorphization, temperature-induced melt–quenching, ball milling, irradiation, etc. They exhibit useful physical chemical properties, distinct from those achievable crystalline states, along with greater ease processing, intrinsic ...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), also known as porous coordination polymers (PCPs), are an emerging class of materials. Due to their structural and functional tunability well the diversity rich applications, field MOFs has become one fastest-growing fields in not only chemistry but materials science. With maturation synthetic methodologies, structure characterization techniques functionality mo...

Amino, bromo, nitro, and naphthalene functionalized UiO-66 metal-organic frameworks have been synthesized through reticular chemistry. UiO-66-NH(2) is shown to be suitable for postsynthetic modification with a variety of anhydrides to generate new, functionalized frameworks.

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) represent a new class of highly porous materials. On this regard,  two nano porous metal-organic frameworks of [Zn2(1,4-bdc)2(H2O)2∙(DMF)2]n (1) and [Zn2(1,4-bdc)2(dabco)]·4DMF·1⁄2H2O (2), (1,4-bdc = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate, dabco = 1,4-diaza...
