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 ...

Cu3(BTC)2 is an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the dehydrogenative coupling of silanes with alcohols. Activity data and CO adsorption suggest that Cu(II) and in situ generated Cu(I) are the active species. Other MOFs such as Fe(BTC), MIL-101(Cr) and UiO-66(Zr) are unable to promote this cross-coupling.

MIL-53(Fe) was synthesized using a “modulator approach” that utilizes acetic acid (HAc) as an additive to control the size and morphology of resulting crystals. We demonstrate after activation under vaccum at 100 °C, functions well for H2S selective oxidation. The introduction in presence benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic (H2BDC) would result series nanocrystals (denoted MIL-53(Fe)-xH, x stands volume a...

The adsorption mechanisms of three nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ibuprofen (IBP), ketoprofen (KET), and naproxen (NPX), applied onto a pristine 1D flexible framework MIL-53(Al) were compared with those adsorbed on MIL-53(Al)/alginate (AM) polyvinylidene fluoride/MIL-53(Al) (PM) composite beads through investigation single-solute batch fixed-bed systems. exhibited outstanding ca...

Adsorption-based heat transformation systems are studied from the twentieth century; however, their performance is low to replace conventional systems. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) providing a new class of micro- and nano-porous organic adsorbents. These have adjustable geometry/topology with large surface area pore volume. A comparison coefficient (COP) between MOFs adsorbents-based cooling...

We performed ab initio calculations of the elastic constants of five flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): MIL-53(Al), MIL-53(Ga), MIL-47, and the square and lozenge structures of DMOF-1. Tensorial analysis of the elastic constants reveals a highly anisotropic elastic behavior, some deformation directions exhibiting very low Young's modulus and shear modulus. This anisotropy can reach a 400...

1. Introduction The presence of organic part in the new class of hybrid solids imparts an important chemical versatility to these materials compared to "classical" solids. The architecture of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF) may lead to open structures with 1D (chains), 2D (layers) or 3D dimensionality developing very large surface areas (above 1000 m 2 /g) [1]. Some MOFs possess a structural ori...

The metal-organic framework, MIL-53, can have a structural transition from an open-pored to a closed-pored structure by adsorbing different guest molecules. The aid of guest molecules is believed to be necessary to initiate this "breathing" effect. Using both neutron powder diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering techniques, we find that MIL-53 exhibits a reversible structural transition b...
