Abstract
Disclosed herein are lithiated cyclodextrin metal organic frameworks and method of making and using the same. A metal organic framework comprising a coordinated network of repeating units extending in three dimensions, wherein the repeating unit comprises a cyclodextrin, a first coordinating metal cation, and a second coordinating metal cation.
Claims20
A metal organic framework comprising a coordinated network of repeating units extending in three dimensions, wherein the repeating unit comprises a cyclodextrin and a metal salt component,
- wherein the metal salt component comprises a first coordinating metal cation and a second coordinating metal cation and
- wherein the first coordinating metal cation and the second coordinating metal cation are different.
A method for preparing a metal organic framework, the method comprising:
- (a) providing a solution comprising a cyclodextrin, a metal salt component, and a first solvent and
- (b) adding a second solvent to the solution to prepare the metal organic framework, wherein the metal salt component comprises a first coordinating metal cation and a second coordinating metal cation and
- wherein the cyclodextrin, the first coordinating metal cation, or the second coordinating metal cation have a lower solubility in the second solvent than the first solvent.
