The first bioinspired microporous metal-organic framework (MOF) synthesized using ellagic acid, a common natural antioxidant and polyphenol building unit, is presented. Bi2O(H2O)2(C14H2O8)·nH2O (SU-101) was inspired by bismuth phenolate metallodrugs, could be entirely from nonhazardous or edible reagents under ambient aqueous conditions, enabling simple scale-up. Reagent-grade affordable dietary supplement-grade acid sourced tree bark pomegranate hulls, respectively. Biocompatibility...
Mg-CUK-1 exhibited high chemical stability towards H<sub>2</sub>S and H<sub>2</sub>O. Monte Carlo Simulations correlated with uptake.
Nanocrystalline Cu-MOF-74 was synthesised in methanol at room temperature, and it used the catalytic synthesis of vanillin showing its reaction mechanism.
The MOF-type MIL-53(Al)-TDC was demonstrated to be an optimal adsorbent for H2S capture combining unprecedented uptake at room temperature, excellent cyclability and low-temperature regeneration.
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET areas, FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microcopy (SEM) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR) techniques were performed to characterize copper−aluminum mixed-oxide samples with Cu/Al ratios between 0.5 3.0. The thermal stability, crystallinity, purity of the materials obtained depended on atomic ratio. TG detected carbonate (mainly) nitrate as counteranions interacting in interlayer region. Loosely bound anions one...
Partial fluorine functionalisation of MIL-101(Cr) was successfully achieved.
The metal-organic framework (MOF)-type MFM-300(Sc) exhibits a combined physisorption and chemisorption capture of H2S, leading to high uptake (16.55 mmol g-1) associated with structural stability. irreversible chemisorbed sulfur species were identified as low-order polysulfide (n = 2) species. isostructural MFM-300(In) was demonstrated promote the formation different species, paving way toward new methodology incorporate polysulfides within MOFs for generation novel MOF-lithium/sulfur batteries.
SU-101 was demonstrated to be an effective and efficient detector for H2S, due the facile generation of polysulfides, with a remarkable H2S selectivity. Raman XPS analyses confirmed formation S n 2- S4 polysulfide species after adsorption (at 0.05 bar, 0.1 bar 1 bar), without compromising structural integrity SU-101. The detection mechanism involves rigidification structure by polysulfides blockage ligand-metal charge transfer (LMCT) process, which increased radiative emission. Additionally,...
Abstract Background Natural aromatic polymers, mainly melanins, have potential and current applications in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical chemical industries. The biotechnological production of this class compounds is based on tyrosinase-dependent conversion L-tyrosine other substrates into melanins. purpose work was to apply metabolic engineering for generating Escherichia coli strains with capacity synthesize an polymer from a simple carbon source. Results strategy expression E. Mut melA...
The chemical transformation of H2S inside the micropores metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to generate, in situ, polysulfides is an exciting novel strategy for permanent sequestration toxic with promising implications design sulfur battery electrodes. Herein, we discuss how this unexpected MOF-catalyzed polysulfide formation involves mechanisms that diverge radically from conventional coordination chemistry MOFs. Long-held assumptions MOF metal-linker bonds are rigid and static must be...
