Abstract
Disclosed is a method to modify metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by irreversible adsorption of nucleotides including, but not limited to, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), guanosine triphosphate (GTP), deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and adenosine monophosphate (AMP), the modified MOFs, and the use of the modified MOFs as adsorbents and catalysts.
Claims20
A method for adsorbing at least one organophosphate in and/or on a parent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), said method comprising:
- contacting at least one parent MOF with an aqueous solution comprising at least one organophosphate for a time and at a temperature necessary to effectuate substantial adsorption of the at least one organophosphate in and/or on the parent MOFs to produce modified MOFs;
- and
- washing the modified MOFs with water to remove any non-adsorbed organophosphates.
A modified metal-organic framework (MOF) comprising at least one MOF and at least one irreversibly adsorbed organophosphate.
