Chemical sensing and catalytic properties of water stable metal organic frameworks constructed from dicarboxylate ligands

Abstract

The classical MOFs developed in earlier years have attracted tremendous research attention because of their outstanding specific surface areas as well as tunable pore sizes However the hydrolytic stability of these MOFs was a huge challenge as the MOF materials tend to undergo irreversible structural degradation in a water containing environment Therefore the development of water stable MOFs becomes necessary for the diverse applications of MOFs in humid conditions The work presented in th...
