Defect engineering in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is an exciting concept for tailoring material properties, which opens up novel opportunities not only sorption and catalysis, but also controlling more challenging physical characteristics such as band gap well magnetic electrical/conductive properties. It to structurally characterize the inherent or intentionally created defects of various types, there have so far been few efforts comprehensively discuss these issues. Based on selected...
The catalytic activity of the zirconium terephthalate UiO-66(Zr) can be drastically increased by using a modulation approach. combined use trifluoroacetic acid and HCl during synthesis results in highly crystalline material, with partial substitution terephthalates trifluoroacetate. Thermal activation material leads not only to dehydroxylation hexanuclear Zr cluster but also post-synthetic removal trifluoroacetate groups, resulting more open framework large number sites. Consequently, is...
