Adsorption in Pyrene-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks: The Role of Pore Structure and Topology.

Pore topology and chemistry play crucial roles in the adsorption characteristics of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). To deepen our understanding of the interactions between MOFs and CO during this process, we systematically investigate the adsorption properties of a group of pyrene-based MOFs. These MOFs feature Zn(II) as the metal ion and employ a pyrene-based ligand, specifically 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(-benzoic acid)pyrene (TBAPy).

Significance of Plastic Recycling with the Focus on Polyesters - Creating a Circular Economy.

Plastics materials are essential in every part of our lives, resulting in their increasing production and consumption. Consequently, recycling of plastics has been of great importance in the last decades. Among all types of plastics, polyesters have become very appealing for numerous kinds of applications, making their recycling crucial.
