Mechanochemistry and accelerated aging are new routes to zirconium metal–organic frameworks, yielding UiO-66 and catalytically active UiO-66-NH2 accessible on the gram scale through mild solid-state self-assembly, without strong acids, high temperatures or excess reactants.
In the past few years, the immobilization of biomolecules on hybrid nanoflowers and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) via self-assembly synthesis has received much attention due to its superior advantages.
A series of Zr-porphyrin metal–organic framework (Zr-PMOF)/ultrathin g-C3N4 (UCN) heterostructure photocatalysts, as stable and efficient catalysts for the photoreduction of CO2, have been fabricated via a facile in situ hydrothermal self-assembly method.
Two water-stable silver(i) cation metal organic frameworks (MOFs), namely 2D MOF {[Ag(L)2]BF4}n (1) and 3D MOF {[Ag3(L)3]·(H2O)·(CF3SO3)3}n (2) (L = 1-(4-aminobenzyl)-1,2,4-triazole), have been prepared.
Titanium-based metal–organic frameworks have been used as an in situ etching template for the self-assembly of graphene oxide to construct NaTi2(PO4)3-rGO composite.
