Tuning the topology of a 2D metal–organic framework from 2D to 3D using modulator assisted synthesis

Abstract

Two new metal-organic frameworks based on 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylate and La(III) ions were prepared under solvothermal conditions. [La(bpda)3/2(dmf)2]·dmf·H2O, MSU-10, was isolated as a 2D network structure but by introducing a modulator, 1,10-phenanthroline,...

Two novel metal–organic frameworks functionalised with pentamethylcyclopentadienyl iridium(iii) chloride for catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to formate

“…Herein, we designed and synthesised two novel 3D isostructural lanthanide-based MOFs (JMS-6 and JMS-7) using the bipyridyl dicarboxylate linker. The new rod MOFs exhibit rare topological features, 25 good chemical and thermal stability. The activated phases of the MOFs were functionalised using pentamethylcyclopentadienyl iridium( iii ) chloride and applied in catalytic hydrogenation of CO 2 to formate.…”
