Metal-Organic Framework (MOFs) are new crystalline materials which because of having propertiessuch as high porosity, optical and electrical properties, etc., have been considered in areas such as gasstorage, catalysis, pollutants removal and so on. Therefore, in order to develop these compounds andtheir use in this study, in this work, Zn-HKUST-1 metal-organic framework was synthesized by fast...

In this research, the metal-organic framework of HKUST-1 (Hong Koung University of Science and Technology) was synthesized for use in modern drug delivery systems by the thermal solvent method. It was activated in two conditions: under vacuum pressure and by a freeze-drying method. The synthesized HKUST-1 Metal-Organic Framework was analyzed by IR, XRD, BET, and SEM. In order to examine and com...

A common feature of multi-functional metal-organic frameworks is a metal dimer in the form of a paddlewheel, as found in the structure of Cu3(btc)2 (HKUST-1). The HKUST-1 framework demonstrates exceptional gas storage, sensing and separation, catalytic activity and, in recent studies, unprecedented ionic and electrical conductivity. These results are a promising step towards the real-world appl...

Aligned macroporous monoliths of an organic cage, a polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1), and a metal-organic framework (HKUST-1) are prepared by a controlled freezing approach. In addition to macropores, all the monoliths contain the intrinsic micropores.

HKUST-1, a copper-based metal organic framework (MOF), has been investigated as a catalyst in various reactions. However, the HKUST-1 shows low catalytic activity in the oxidation of catechol. Therefore, we synthesized Fe₃O₄@HKUST-1 by layer-by layer assembly strategy and Cu@Cu₂O by reduction of HKUST-1 for enhancement of catalytic activity. Cu@Cu₂O nanoparticles exhibited highly effective cata...

The liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) of the metal-organic framework (MOF) HKUST-1 has been studied for three different COOH-terminated templating organic surfaces prepared by the adsorption of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold substrates. Three different SAMs were used, mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHDA), 4’-carboxyterphenyl-4-methanethiol (TPMTA) and 9-carboxy-10-(mercaptomethyl)triptycene (CMM...

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is used to assemble metal-organic framework (MOF) materials in nano- and micro-particulate, thin-film form. The flexibility of the method is demonstrated by the successful deposition of 4 types of MOFs: NU-1000, UiO-66, HKUST-1, and Al-MIL-53. Additionally, EPD is used to pattern the growth of NU-1000 thin films that exhibit full electrochemical activity.

Many metal-organic frameworks are water labile, including the iconic Hong-Kong University of Science and Technology-1 (HKUST-1). Spray-dry encapsulation of HKUST-1 crystals into polystyrene microspheres is reported here to yield composites that are resistant to water but retain most of the excellent gas sorption capacity of HKUST-1. These composites are demonstrated to exhibit superior water ad...

Makes sense: Copper metal organic framework (MOF) nanoelectrodes are prepared by depositing copper benzene tricarboxylate MOF (HKUST-1) into open carbon nanopipettes and used for sensing hydrogen peroxide.
