The removal of organophosphorus (OP) herbicides from water has been studied using adsorptive removal, chemical oxidation, electrooxidation, enzymatic degradation, and photodegradation. OP herbicide glyphosate (GP) is one the most used worldwide, leading to excess GP in wastewater soil. commonly broken down environmental conditions compounds such as aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) or sarcosine, with AMPA having a longer half-life similar toxicity GP. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are...
Abstract Here, four MOFs, namely Sc-TBAPy, Al-TBAPy, Y-TBAPy, and Fe-TBAPy (TBAPy: 1,3,6,8-tetrakis( p -benzoic acid)pyrene), were characterized evaluated for their ability to remediate glyphosate (GP) from water. Among these materials, Sc-TBAPy demonstrates superior performance in both the adsorption degradation of GP. Upon light irradiation 5 min, completely degrades 100% GP a 1.5 mM aqueous solution. Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy reveals that exhibits enhanced charge...
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials composed of metal ions and organic ligands. These have garnered significant attention due to their wide-ranging applications, such as the capture hazardous molecules, catalysis, production value-added compounds, detection or molecules in water. Despite immense potential various research fields, MOFs rarely introduced lower-division undergraduate chemistry courses. In this study, we aim kindle student enthusiasm through development a new...
α-Aminonitriles are significant components in the synthesis of biological compounds and complex drugs. Although efficient, procedures for synthesizing α-aminonitriles suffer from high loadings expensive catalysts, long reaction times, energy-intensive conditions, expensive, toxic solvents. Herein, we report use metal–organic framework Cr-MIL-101-SO3H as a catalyst facile eight α-aminonitriles, five which reported new molecules. We found that presence both open Cr3+ Lewis −SO3H Brønsted acids...

The impact of metals within a family isostructural metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on the adsorption and photodegradation herbicide glyphosate (GP) is presented in this study. Four MOFs, namely Sc-TBAPy, Al-TBAPy, Y-TBAPy, Fe-TBAPy (TBAPy: 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-benzoic acid)pyrene), were characterized evaluated for their ability to remediate GP from water. Among these materials, Sc-TBAPy demonstrates superior performance both degradation GP. Upon light irradiation 5 min, completely degrades...
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a highly tunable class of porous materials with wide-ranging applications from gas capture to photocatalysis. Developing these exciting properties their fullest extent requires thorough mechanistic understanding the structure–function relationships. We implement an ultrafast spectroscopic toolset, femtosecond transient absorption and stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS), elucidate correlated electronic vibrational dynamics two isostructural...
