Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), Method For Their Preparation And Their Application

Abstract

Coordination polymers of MOF type, comprising a repeating unit of the general formula [M2(dcx)2L2], wherein M represents a metal cation (M2+), dcx represents an anion of a dicarboxylic acid and L represents a neutral molecule of hydrazone. A method for preparation of coordination polymers of MOF type, wherein in the first step a compound of aldehyde or ketone group is condensed with a hydrazide, and in the second step the condensation product is reacted using a metal compound and a dicarboxylic acid. An application of coordination polymers of MOF type for the detection, capturing, separation, or storage of molecules, for the fabrication of ionic conductors, for the construction of batteries and fuel cells, as well as drug carriers.
