Synthesis, structure and properties of a novel Cu(II)-MOF {[Cu2L(OH)]·DMF}n based on a semi-rigid polycarboxylic acid ligand

Two new 6-nitrobenzimidazole ligand-modified polymolybdate-based metal–organic complexes with excellent capacitive and electrocatalytic performances

“…Nitrogen-containing ligands commonly appearing as pyridine, amino, azoles and their derivatives have been widely used in the construction of POM-based MOCs (POMOCs). 23–26 The nitro group as an electron acceptor substituent can not only promote electrocatalytic performance, but also increase the π–π stacking interaction with the electrode; 27,28 thus, introducing a nitro-containing N-donor ligand into POMOCs seems very significant for improving their electrochemical performance. However, to our knowledge, there are few reports on the synthesis and electrochemical performances of POMOCs constructed from a nitro-containing N-donor ligand.…”

A metal–organic framework with rich accessible nitrogen sites for rapid dye adsorption and highly efficient dehydrogenation of formic acid

“…Organic aromatic polycarboxylic acids have been recognized as the most widely used ligand precursors for the construction of functionalized MOFs. 16–18 For further enhancing the adsorption capacity and the catalytic performance of MOF materials, more recent efforts have been devoted to fabricating novel polycarboxylic acid-based MOFs with improved structural stability, open frameworks and desirable functionalities. It has been revealed that introducing some free N atoms into the MOF materials may considerably improve their adsorption/activation abilities for guest molecules by building some weak interactions between the free N atom and the adsorbate.…”
