Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks of zinc, cobalt, and cadmium, including the framework ZIF-8 commercially sold as Basolite Z1200, exhibit surprising sensitivity to carbon dioxide under mild conditions. The frameworks chemically react with CO2 in the presence of moisture or liquid water to form carbonates. This effect, which has been previously not reported in metal-organic framework chemistry, p...

The laccase enzyme was successfully immobilized over a magnetic amino-functionalized metal–organic framework Fe3O4-NH2@MIL-101(Cr). Different techniques were used for the characterization of synthesized materials. Fe3O4-NH2@MIL-101(Cr) showed excellent resistance to high temperatures and low pH levels with immobilization capacity large activity recovery, due combination covalent binding adsorpt...
