Synergetic Molecular Oxygen Activation and Catalytic Oxidation of Formaldehyde over Defective MIL-88B(Fe) Nanorods at Room Temperature.

Defective MIL-88B(Fe) nanorods are exploited as exemplary iron-bearing metal-organic framework (MOF) catalyst for molecular oxygen (O) activation at ambient temperature, triggering effective catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO), one of the major indoor air pollutants. Defective MIL-88B(Fe) nanorods, growing along the [001] direction, expose abundant coordinatively unsaturated Fe-sites (Fe-CUSs) along extended hexagonal channels with a diameter of ca. 5 Å, larger enough for the diffusion of O (3.

Homogeneous photochemical water oxidation with metal salophen complexes in neutral media.

The development of water oxidation catalysts based on Earth-abundant metals that can function at neutral pH remains a basic chemical challenge. Here, we report that salophen complexes with Ni(ii), Cu(ii), and Mn(ii) can catalyse photochemical water oxidation to molecular oxygen in the presence of [Ru(bpy)] as a photosensitizer and NaSO as an oxidant in phosphate buffer of pH 7.0.

Cationic nickel metal-organic frameworks for adsorption of negatively charged dye molecules.

Industrial dye effluents with low biodegradability are highly toxic and carcinogenic on both human and aquatic lives, thus they are detrimental to the biodiversity of environment. Herein, this data set presents the potential of cationic Nickel based MOFs in the adsorption of charged and neutral dye molecules. Data set include a concise description of experimental conditions for the synthesis of imidazolium ligands, 1,3-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)imidazolium chloride (HLCl) and 1,3-bis(3,5-dicarboxyphenyl)imidazolium chloride (HLCl), and MOFs.

Selective and adsorptive removal of anionic dyes and CO with azolium-based metal-organic frameworks.

The positively charged azolium moieties make imidazolium linker an ideal linker for the construction of cationic metal-organic frameworks because the ligand induces cationic environments in the frameworks. Therefore, we employed two imidazolium ligands, 1,3-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)imidazolium chloride (HLCl¯) and 1,3-bis(3,5-dicarboxyphenyl)imidazolium chloride (HLCl¯), to synthesize two nickel azolium-based MOFs, 1 and 2. The as-synthesis MOFs were characterized by PXRD, TGA, FE-SEM, HR-TEM, FTIR and BET measurements.
