Thermostability and photophysical properties of mixed-ligand carboxylate/benzimidazole Zn(II)-coordination polymers

Two zinc(ii) coordination polymers based on flexible co-ligands featuring assembly imparted sensing abilities for Cr2O72− and o-NP

“…These shis of the emission bands can be attributed to the deprotonated effect of opda and the coordination interactions of the organic ligands to Zn(II) ions as well as C-H/p interactions in two complexes network. 40 The emission intensities of 1 and 2 are much stronger than that of a free pda ligand, that is the formation of complexes enhances the uorescence of the ligand. This phenomenon is a typical example of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and may be explained with that the coordination to metal ions in a complexes restricted the deformation of the ligand and the induced nonradiative relaxation.…”

Metal‐Organic Framework Nanocrystals

“…Among the most influencing factors are solvent, temperature, metal precursor, reagents ratio, and concentration. For instance, different metal precursors may not only furnish structurally different frameworks but may also affect the nucleation rate and speed up the formation of MOFs nanocrystals . Temperature effect on the size and distribution of MOF nanoparticles has frequently been studied.…”

“…The unique physicochemical properties exhibit by MOFs have attracted considerable attention over the past decades. The scientific development of these materials involves different disciplines, as well as implies in several potential applications in many fields, including magnetism, gas adsorption and separation, drug delivery, catalysis, sensors and luminescent materials . However, in some cases, the use of MOFs faces some technical limitations.…”

MOF-derived Co/ZnO@silicalite-1 photocatalyst with high photocatalytic activity

“…In the last few years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with the remarkable characteristics of well-dened channels and cavities of regular size and shape, have been widely studied and used for gas storage, 25,26 small molecule separations, 27 chemical catalysis and drug delivery, 28,29 due to its large internal surface areas, uniform channels, (sub)nanometer-sized cavities, high thermal and chemical stability. [30][31][32][33][34] Some attempts also have been made to explore the semiconducting properties of MOFs. Lin et al suggested that band gaps of MOFs are between 1.0 and 5.5 eV.…”
