Homochiral porous coordination polymer of EuIII for metal ion sensing and enantioselective adsorption

A novel three-dimensional homochiral porous coordination polymer was obtained by combining luminescent component Eu(III) with enantiomerically pure semirigid triangular organic ligand derived from (L)-α-leucine. Remarkably, it not only exhibited photoluminescence...

Investigation of Physical Properties of Fe(III) Containing Metal-Organic Polymers

n this work, we studied the properties of a specially synthesized organometallic coordination polymer - a porous coordination polymer with biocompatible structural elements based on oxoclusters of iron muconate (III). The samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis combined with differential scanning calorimetry, and the study of low-temperature nitrogen adsorption of a sample obtained by a modified solvothermal technique. It is shown that most of the pores of the sample have an average radius of 18,8 Å ~ 1,88 nm. Also, as a result of the study, it is necessary to conclude that the synthesized material has a developed surface area - it is 512,1 m2/g and the pore volume is ~ 0,48 cm3/g. It should be concluded that such materials are promising as components for a new generation of various kinds of functional materials with improved or unique characteristics. It is obvious that further research in this area is important from both fundamental and applied points of view.
