Novel cobalt(II) metal-organic framework was grown by the reaction of a methanol solution of 8-hydroxyquinoline and benzoic acid with aqueous solution of cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate using slow solvent evaporation. The X-ray luminescence of the synthesized compound showed vibronic peaks: one with λmax at 489 nm and shoulders at 424 and 531 nm, respectively, which compare favorably with best  organic scintillators such as anthracene –447 nm and stilbene –410 nm currently in application.  The elemental analysis of the metal complex suggests a metal to ligands ratio of 1:1:1. Conductance measurement shows a nonelectrolytic nature of the synthesized compound. The SEM studies give the surface morphology of the complex. The observed emission bands with different dynamics in response to temperature change suggest that the Co-MOF exhibits scintillation properties. Electronic spectrum and magnetic moment studies were used to determine the geometry of the Co-MOF molecule. Thermal analysis data reported displayed the extent of stability of the Co-MOF compound. PXRD data revealed the nanocrystalline nature of the complex. Energy resolution peak observed at 2535 KeV, suggest the synthesized compound can be used as a scintillator.

The compound [Cd(4,4'-bpy)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·(L)2 was obtained by the reaction of Cd(ClO4)2, bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine (L) and 4,4'-bipyridine in aqueous MeOH. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has revealed its two-dimensional metal-organic framework. The 2-D layers superpose on each other, giving a channel structure. The square planar grids consist of two pairs of shared edges with Cd(II) ion and a 4,4'-bipyridine molecule each vertex and side, respectively. The square cavity has a dimension of 11.817 × 11.781 Å. Two guest molecules of bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine are clathrated in every hydrophobic host cavity, being further stabilized by π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. The results suggest that the hydrazine molecules present in the network serve as structure-directing templates in the formation of crystal structures.

Mesoporous metal-organic framework-5 (MOF-5), with the composition Zn4O(BDC)3, showed a high capacity for the adsorptive removal of Pb(II) from 100% aqueous media. After the adsorption process, changes in both morphology and composition were detected using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) system, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. The experimental evidence showed that Zn(II) liberation from MOF-5 structure was provoked by the water effect demonstrating that Pb(II) removal is not due to ionic exchange with Zn. A kinetic study showed that Pb(II) removal was carried out in 30 min with a behavior of pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The experimental data on Pb(II) adsorption were adequately fit by both the Langmuir and BET isotherm models with maximum adsorption capacities of 658.5 and 412.7 mg/g, respectively, at pH 5 and 45°C. The results of this work demonstrate that the use of MOF-5 has great potential for applications in environmental protection, especially regarding the removal of the lead present in industrial wastewaters and tap waters.

A novel metal-organic framework, MnCl2(BIPS)2•2CH3OH•2H2O (1) were synthesized from MnCl2 and a tetrahedral silicon-cored ligand, Me2Si(p-C6H4-imdazol-1-yl)2 (BIPS) under the slow diffusion method. The structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is a 2D sheet structure constructed from 1D chains with 34-atom metallamacrocycles.
