UiO-66 is an archetypal zirconium-based metal–organic framework (MOF) that constructed from hexanuclear zirconium oxide clusters as secondary building units (SBUs) and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (bdc) linkers. For the first time, a room-temperature solution-based synthesis reported for several of its derivatives, UiO-66-X (X = NH2, OH, or NO2), resulting in materials are porous crystalline those made at elevated temperatures. In addition, via modulation temperature which synthesized, number...
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly versatile materials that find applications in several fields. Highly stable zirconium/hafnium-based MOFs were recently introduced and nowadays represent a rapidly growing family. Their unique intriguing properties make them privileged outstanding candidates heterogeneous catalysis, finding use either as catalysts or catalyst supports. Various techniques have been developed to incorporate active species into Zr-MOFs, giving rise often demonstrate...
