Impact of urea-based deep eutectic solvents on Mg-MOF-74 morphology and sorption properties

Enantiopure natural deep eutectic solvents for metal–organic framework chiral induction

“…Interestingly, DESs have demonstrated their adequacy for MOF synthesis, 10 allowing the formation of prototypical materials, impacting their morphology and properties as well as their stability. 11 However, a particular emphasis has been put on the use of DES based on choline chloride and urea derivatives, 12 and, to the best of our knowledge, natural enantiopure DESs have not been explored as solvents for MOF chiral induction (Fig. 1).…”

“…The difference in morphology highlights the impact of the solvents, in particular DES, as previously illustrated for the benchmark materials HKUST-1 and Mg-MOF-74. 11…”
