Title of Document: SYNTHESIS OF ZEOLITE@MOF NANOPOROUS COMPOSITES AS BIFUNCTIONAL CATALYSTS Guanghui Zhu, Master of Science, 2014 Directed By: Professor, Dr. Dongxia Liu, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering And Professor, Dr. Kyu Yong Choi, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering As nanoporous materials, zeolite and metal organic framework (MOF) share common characte...

Composites incorporating metal nanoparticles (MNPs) within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have broad applications in many fields. However, the controlled spatial distribution of the MNPs within MOFs remains a challenge for addressing key issues in catalysis, for example, the efficiency of catalysts due to the limitation of molecular diffusion within MOF channels. Here we report a facile strate...

The development of simple, versatile strategies for the synthesis of metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived membranes are of increasing scientific interest, but challenges exist in understanding suitable fabrication mechanisms. Here we report a route for the complete transformation of a series of MOF membranes and particles, based on multivalent cation substitution. Through our approach, the eff...

High methane storage capacity in porous materials is important for the design and manufacture of vehicles powered by natural gas. Here, we report the synthesis, crystal structures and methane adsorption properties of five new zinc metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), MOF-905, MOF-905-Me2, MOF-905-Naph, MOF-905-NO2, and MOF-950. All these MOFs consist of the Zn4O(-CO2)6 secondary building units (SBU...

The application of metal-organic framework (MOF) in the field of photocatalysis is limited, because of its unstable chemical properties and failure to respond in visible light. Herein, the Pd/MOF catalysts were prepared by impregnation reduction. It is important that we have reasonably constructed the dye-sensitized system of Pd/MOF and successfully extended the application of MOF to the visibl...

A stable complex containing MLL1 and MOF has been immunoaffinity purified from a human cell line that stably expresses an epitope-tagged WDR5 subunit. Stable interactions between MLL1 and MOF were confirmed by reciprocal immunoprecipitation, cosedimentation, and cotransfection analyses, and interaction sites were mapped to MLL1 C-terminal and MOF zinc finger domains. The purified complex has a ...

MOF was first identified in Drosophila melanogaster as an important component of the dosage compensation complex. As a member of MYST family of histone acetyltransferase, MOF specifically deposits the acetyl groups to histone H4 lysine 16. Throughout evolution, MOF and its mammalian ortholog have retained highly conserved substrate specificity and similar enzymatic activities. MOF plays importa...

We report the synthesis and characterization of two thin films (DA-MOF and L2-MOF) of porphyrin-based MOFs on functionalized surfaces using a layer-by-layer (LbL) approach. Profilometry measurements confirm that the film thickness increases systematically with number of growth cycles. Polarization excitation and fluorescence measurements indicate that the porphyrin units are preferentially orie...

The Object Management Group (OMG) is pursuing its new Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) strategy. The Meta-Object Facility (MOF) is an important technology to support the MDA, both as a general modelling technique but also specifically to support the definition of other modelling systems. The OMG has standardised the generation of repositories based on MOF models. Anti-Yacc is a tool that can be ...
