A novel and facile strategy in developing a water stable magnetic metal-organic framework nanocomposite (Fe O @MOF) is herein reported, in which a Keggin polyoxometalate, phosphotungstic acid (HPW), was encapsulated within the MOF framework via one-pot synthesis method. The combination of HPW-embedded MOF and Fe O endowed the composite with high surface area, strong UV absorption, good hydrophilicity, and enhanced water stability. With these unique properties, the Fe O @MOF embedded HPW served as adsorbent as well as matrix for SALDI-MS (surface-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry) analysis of polar and non-polar compounds. The synergistic effect of Fe O and MOF showed an interference-free background at low mass region than the pristine MOF or Fe O counterparts. This simple approach can be used as new platform in developing magnetic MOF composites without the time consuming and labor-intensive preparation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
