Fluorescence sensing and gas sorption properties of water stable functionalized metal organic frameworks with tetravalent metal ions and carboxylate based ligands

Abstract

Metal organic frameworks MOFs are a new class of highly porous coordination polymers They are interconnected by the inorganic building units and organic linkers in a 2D or 3D fashion MOFs have emerged as a new class of highly crystalline materials over other traditional porous materials such as zeolites silicas activated carbons etc MOFs have large surface areas and permanent porosity Extending the length of organic linkers leads to increase in pore sizes for the resulting MOFs Attachi...
