UiO-66 metal organic frameworks with high contents of flexible adipic acid co-linkers

Adipic acid, an industrially-important chemical that can be sustainably derived from biomass and post-consumer nylon, is traditionally overlooked as a linker for MOFs. Herein, we report the first direct one-pot method for synthesising UiO-66 MOFs with an unprecedented 69 mol% adipate content, as wel...

Description
Summary:Adipic acid, an industrially-important chemical that can be sustainably derived from biomass and post-consumer nylon, is traditionally overlooked as a linker for MOFs. Herein, we report the first direct one-pot method for synthesising UiO-66 MOFs with an unprecedented 69 mol% adipate content, as well as the feasibility of these materials for MOF defect engineering by rapid and selective adipate thermolysis. Convenient one-pot synthesis of UiO-66 MOFs containing an unprecedentedly-high adipic acid content is reported, allowing facile linker thermolysis for defect engineering.
