Heterometallic Titanium–Organic Frameworks by Metal-Induced Dynamic Topological Transformations
Reticular chemistry has boosted the design of thousands of metal and covalent organic frameworks for unlimited chemical compositions, structures, and sizable porosities. The ability to generate porous materials at will on the basis of geometrical design concepts is responsible for the rapid growth of the field and the increasing number of applications derived. Despite their promising features, the synthesis of targeted homo- and heterometallic titanium–organic frameworks amenable to these principles is relentlessly limited by the high reactivity of this metal in solution that impedes the controlled assembly of titanium molecular clusters. We describe an unprecedented methodology for the syn…
Magnesium Exchanged Zirconium Metal−Organic Frameworks with Improved Detoxification Properties of Nerve Agents
UiO-66, MOF-808 and NU-1000 metal-organic frameworks exhibit a differentiated reactivity toward [Mg(OMe)2(MeOH)2]4 related to their pore accessibility. Microporous UiO-66 remains unchanged while mesoporous MOF-808 and hierarchical micro/mesoporous NU-1000 materials yield doped systems containing exposed MgZr5O2(OH)6 clusters in the mesoporous cavities. This modification is responsible for a remarkable enhancement of the catalytic activity toward the hydrolytic degradation of P-F and P-S bonds of toxic nerve agents, at room temperature, in unbuffered aqueous solutions.
