A method of metallating a porous metal-organic framework comprising inorganic nodes and organic linkers, the method comprising depositing a film comprising a metal on the surfaces within the pores of the metal-organic framework via atomic layer deposition.
A metal-organic framework comprising a porous metal-organic framework comprising:
- inorganic nodes that comprise an octahedral Zr6 cluster capped by eight μ3-ligands and have twelve octahedral edges, wherein the μ3-ligands are hydroxo ligands, oxo ligands or aquo ligands;
- and
- organic linkers connecting the inorganic nodes, the inorganic linkers comprising 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-benzoic acid)pyrene units;
- wherein eight of the twelve octahedral edges of the inorganic nodes are connected to the 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-benzoic acid)pyrene units.
A metallated metal-organic framework comprising:
- a porous metal-organic framework comprising:
- inorganic nodes that comprise an octahedral Zr6 cluster capped by eight μ3-ligands and have twelve octahedral edges, wherein the μ3-ligands are hydroxo ligands, oxo ligands or aquo ligands;
- and
- organic linkers connecting the inorganic nodes, the inorganic linkers comprising 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-benzoic acid)pyrene units;
- wherein eight of the twelve octahedral edges of the inorganic nodes are connected to the 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(p-benzoic acid)pyrene units;
- and
- a metal film on the surfaces within the pores of the porous metal-organic framework.
