Porphyrinic metal-organic frameworks as molybdenum adsorbents for the ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTc generator

Two porphyrinic metal-organic frameworks (PCN-222 and PCN-224) were prepared and their potential as molybdenum adsorbents for the ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTc generator was explored. The molybdenum adsorption properties of the two adsorbents, including adsorption kinetics and equilibrium isotherms, were evaluated at different molybdenum...

Effects of High Gamma Doses on the Structural Stability of Metal-Organic Frameworks

Four different MOFs were exposed to γrays by a cobalt-60 source reaching a maximum dose of 5 MGy. The results showed that the MIL-100 (Cr) and MIL-100 (Fe) did not exhibit obvious structural damage, suggesting their excellent radiation stability. MIL-101 (Cr) showed good radiation stability up to 4 MGy, but its structure started degrading...

A cerium-based metal-organic framework as adsorbent for the ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTc generator

The cerium-based metal–organic framework UiO-66 (Ce) was examined as a potential adsorbent for the ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTc generator. The results showed that the adsorbent had an outstanding adsorption performance, reaching up to 475 mg/g adsorption capacity at pH 3. An adsorption mechanism was proposed, where the adsorption was...

Adsorption of molybdenum on Zr-based MOFs for potential application in the ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTc generator

The potential of the metal–organic framework UiO-66 and its functionalized derivatives for their utilization in the ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTc generator was assessed. Molybdenum adsorption experiments, structure characterization, molecular simulations and column experiments with molybdenum-99 were carried out. The results showed that...
