Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were usually synthesized in hydrothermal conditions; in this study, a more energy-saving, easier to control, and solvent-free mechanochemical method was firstly applied to synthesize MOFs with varied reactants as slow release fertilizer, and the components and structures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared total attenuated reflectance (FTIR-ATR), and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Results showed that three MOFs (compounds I, II, and III) were obtained, the MOFs were confirmed as oxalate phosphate oxalate frameworks (OPA-MOF), and ions were adsorbed between layers that contributed to the contents, while urea molecules mainly impacted the structure. The elemental compositions significantly varied among the three compounds; compound I showed the highest content of N (4.91%), P (15.71%), and Fe (18.60%), compound III indicated the highest content of C (6.52%) and K (12.59%), while the contents of C, K, P, and Fe in compound II were in the medium range. Similar release profiles of Fe and P were found among the three MOFs, and the release rates of nutrients were demonstrated as the order of N > K > P > Fe. The compositions and release profiles demonstrated potential application of MOFs as a novel slow-release fertilizer.

<p>We report a solvent-free procedure for the high-yield synthesis of metal-organic frameworks of UiO-66 topology starting from a range of commercial Zr(IV) precursors and various substituted dicarboxylic linkers. The syntheses are carried out by simply grinding the reagents in the presence of a small volume of acetic acid as modulator, followed by incubation at either room temperature or 120 °C. Use of a ball mill for the grinding step is demonstrated to enable facile scale up of the synthesis. High acidity of the linker is found to be a crucial factor in affording materials of quality comparable to that of products obtained in solvo- or hydrothermal conditions.</p>

This work demonstrates a simple, reproducible and scalable method of producing a potential slow-release fertilizer material. In this study, oxalate-phosphate-amine metal organic frameworks (OPA-MOFs) powder was synthesized from the hydrothermal treatment of ferric chloride (FeCl3•6H2O), orthophosphoric acid (H3PO4), oxalic acid dihydrate (H2C2O4•2H2O), and a common fertilizer, urea (CO(NH2)2). Being a structure directing agent (SDA)-type of MOF, the material is expected to slowly release urea via cation exchange, and eventually trigger the collapse of the framework, thus resulting to the subsequent release of the phosphates and iron-oxalate complexes. Elemental analysis revealed that the synthesized samples contains a promising amount of incorporated nitrogen and phosphorus. In this particular study, increasing in the amount of urea during the synthesis however revealed minimal change in the %N in the final product which tells us that maximum loading has already been achieved. P and N release experiments shall still be done bothinvitroand in actual soil samples to monitor the release delivery kinetics and efficiency of the OPA-MOFs for fertilizer release applications.

We propose a novel solvent-free conversion strategy of Pt–ZnO to Pt-ZIF-8. This synthesis strategy may facilitate the discovery of MMOFs that have not been reported previously.

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.
