A series of isostructural metal-organic frameworks for an enhanced electro-catalytic oxygen evolution reaction.

Three new isostructural MOFs (ZnTIA, CoTIA and CdTIA) were synthesized by the solvothermal synthesis of the organic linker 5-triazole isophthalic acid (5-TIA) with the transition metals Zn(II), Co(II) and Cd(II) in the presence of the structure directing agent tetramethyl ammonium chloride (TMA). These three MOFs were characterized thoroughly by ScXRD, PXRD, FT-IR, TGA, BET and SEM. They have excellent thermal and water stabilities.

Robust Zeolitic Tetrazole Framework for Electrocatalytic Dopamine Detection with High Selectivity.

A novel zeolitic tetrazolate framework (ZTF-8) has been synthesized by solvent-free heat-assisted (70 °C) mechanochemical grinding of zinc acetate and 5-methyl tetrazole in the presence of NaOH powder. The structure of ZTF-8 adopts the zeolitic sodalite (SOD) topology with uncoordinated N-heteroatom sites and resembles the structure of the well-known zeolitic imidazole framework ZIF-8. ZTF-8 is exceptionally stable in 0.
