Mesoporous metal-organic frameworks Cr- and Fe-MIL-101 are highly efficient, true heterogeneous and recyclable catalysts for solvent-free selective oxidation of cyclohexane with molecular oxygen and/or tert-butyl hydroperoxide under mild conditions.

The incorporation of Pt nanoparticles into a highly stable and porous amine-functionalized MIL-101(Cr) was performed for construction of a visible light driven H2 evolution system with high activity and strong stability.

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...

asymmetrically mixed matrix matrimid-mil-53 membranes with silicone cover layer were fabricated. for better understanding of membrane fabrication process, three main parameters of fabrication, matrimid concentration, silicone concentration and weight percentage of metal organic framework (mil-53) particles, were optimized by an experimental design method. cross-section sem images were used to s...

MOF-derived carbon-based materials have attracted widespread attention due to their relatively large surface area, morphology, and stability in water. Considering these advantages, present themselves as excellent adsorbents. In this work, a novel method was designed for the fabrication of nano zero-valent-iron (nZVI) carbon composite. The utilization zinc oxide nanorods (ZnONRs) role sacrificia...

MIL-101(Cr) has drawn much attention due to its high stability compared with other metal-organic frameworks. In this study, three trace flue gas contaminants (H2O, NO, SO2) were each added to a 10 vol% CO2/N2 feed flow and found to have a minimal impact on the adsorption capacity of CO2. In dynamic CO2 regeneration experiments, complete regeneration occurred in 10 min at 328 K for temperature s...
