A metal–organic framework (Al-TCPB-Me2) featuring asymmetric sinuous channels integrates molecular sieving and shape matching for the challenging separation of xylene isomers, enabling impurity quantification down to 200 ppm.
Four gallium- or vanadium-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) were synthesized and these MOFs were shown to possess good stability as well as exceptional SF6 adsorption properties, with one of the MOFs having an SF6-over-N2 selectivity of over 400.
1,3,5-Tri(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene was first crystallized as a non-interpenetrated hydrogen-bonded organic framework. The desolvated structure can maintain the non-interpenetrated and mesoporous skeleton which is stable for molecule adsorption.
Two silver(I) coordination polymers: a porous 3D MOF (CP-1) with a helical network and a 1D chain (CP-2) with pseudo-2D assembly were synthesized and their structure–property relationship were studied in detail.
This review highlights the recent advances in utilizing covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for photocatalytic applications.
