Defective MIL-88B(Fe) nanorods are exploited as exemplary iron-bearing metal-organic framework (MOF) catalyst for molecular oxygen (O2) activation at ambient temperature, triggering effective catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO), one the major indoor air pollutants. nanorods, growing along [001] direction, expose abundant coordinatively unsaturated Fe-sites (Fe-CUSs) extended hexagonal channels with a diameter ca. 5 Å, larger enough diffusion O2 (3.46 Å) and HCHO (2.7 Å). The Lewis...

We demonstrate the synthesis of isostructural zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF‐8) using four distinct synthetic methods. Subsequently, variations in physicochemical properties were analyzed through catalytic reaction CO 2 cycloaddition epoxide. It was thus demonstrated that simply by changing type method for preparation ZIF‐8, changed significantly which turn influenced activity ZIF‐8. found affected crystal growth and consequently are crucial aspects metal–organic applications. There is an...

Industrial dye effluents with low biodegradability are highly toxic and carcinogenic on both human aquatic lives, thus they detrimental to the biodiversity of environment. Herein, this data set presents potential cationic Nickel based MOFs in adsorption charged neutral molecules. Data include a concise description experimental conditions for synthesis imidazolium ligands, 1,3-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)imidazolium chloride (H2L+Cl-) 1,3-bis(3,5-dicarboxyphenyl)imidazolium (H4L+Cl-), MOFs. The show...

Two ligands, 1, 3-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)imidazolium chloride and 4, 4-bipyridine, were employed to prepare nickel zinc azolium based MOFs, Ni-MOF Zn-MOF by the mixed ligand solvothermal approach. The positively charged moieties in imidazolium linker resulted a environment as-synthesized frameworks. As result, demonstrated preferential adsorption of CO2 over methane molecules gas phase due higher quadruple moment CO2, which interacts more with Besides, aqueous media, exhibited incredible...
