Abstract
A method of activating a metal-organic framework material can include solvent exchanging the metal organic framework material with DME and then applying a vacuum to remove the DME and any residual solvent.
Claims20
A method of treating a solvent-containing metal-organic framework material to displace the solvent, comprising contacting the solvent-containing metal-organic framework material with a dimethyl ether, wherein the dimethyl ether exchanges with solvent present in pores and coordinated on metal sites of the metal-organic framework material to thereby provide a metal-organic framework material exchanged with dimethyl ether.
A method of activating a solvent-containing metal-organic framework material, comprising:
- contacting the solvent-containing metal-organic framework material with a dimethyl ether, wherein the dimethyl ether exchanges with solvent present in pores and coordinated on metal sites of the metal-organic-framework material to thereby provide a metal-organic framework material exchanged with dimethyl ether;
- and
- applying a vacuum to the metal-organic framework material exchanged with dimethyl ether to remove residual solvent and dimethyl ether to thereby activate the metal-organic framework material.
