Crystal Engineering of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Molecular Recognition

A world in which there is a demand for materials with various properties for different needs, requires robust tools to assist in this matter. In this regard, crystal engineering is among the most important tools in materials design and keeps developing in a sustained manner. Obviously, the application of crystal engineering principles to...

Rapid fabrication of MOF-based mixed matrix membranes through digital light processing

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing technology, has greatly expanded across multiple sectors of technology replacing classical manufacturing methods by combining processing speed and high precision. The scientific interest in this technology lies in the ability to create solid architectures with customized shapes and...

Maximizing Ag Utilization in High-Rate CO₂ Electrochemical Reduction with a Coordination Polymer-Mediated Gas Diffusion Electrode

We report the preparation and electrocatalytic performance of silver-containing gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) derived from a silver coordination polymer (Ag-CP). Layer-by-layer growth of the Ag-CP onto porous supports was applied to control Ag loading. Subsequent electro-decomposition of the Ag-CP resulted in highly selective and efficient...

Benzimidazole linked polymers (BILPs) in mixed-matrix membranes: Influence of filler porosity on the CO₂/N₂ separation performance

The performance of mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) based on Matrimid^® and benzimidazole-linked polymers (BILPs) have been investigated for the separation CO₂/N₂ and the dependency on the filler porosity. BILPs with two different porosities (BILP-101 and RT-BILP-101) were synthesized through controlling the...

Temperature-Dependent Supramolecular Isomerism of Lutetium-Aminoterephthalate Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis, Crystallography, and Physical Properties

Three supramolecular isomers of lutetium metal-organic framework, {Lu₂(H₂O)₄(ATA)₃·4H₂O}_n (Lu-ATA@RT), {Lu₂(H₂O)₂(C₃H₇NO)₂(ATA)₃}_n (Lu-ATA@100), and {Lu₂(C₃H<sub>7</sub...

Control of interpenetration of copper-based MOFs on supported surfaces by electrochemical synthesis

<br/><br/>A study of a copper-based metal–organic framework (MOF) synthesized by an electrochemical route is presented. Morphological and adsorption properties of the MOF synthesized as bulk powder and on supported copper surfaces were investigated. Differences in these properties and structural refinement studies indicate that when 4,4′,4′′-s...
