Owing to their three dimensionality and high porosity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
have attracted the attention of scientists especially chemists and material engineers. The …

The past 20 years have witnessed rapid development of reticular chemistry, 1, 2 which is
concerned with linking molecular building units with strong chemical bonds to form …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as newly emerged materials have experienced rapid
development in the last few years. The modular synthesis procedure allows integrating …

The zwitterionic bipyridinium carboxylate ligand 1-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4, 4′-bipyridinium
(hpc1) in the presence of 1, 4-benzenedicarboxylate anions (BDC2–) and Zn2+ ions affords …

We describe a new strategy to generate non-coordinating anions using zwitterionic metal–
organic frameworks (MOFs). By assembly of anionic inorganic secondary building blocks …

Two isostructural microporous zwitterionic metal–organic frameworks (ZW MOFs),{[M
(bdcbpy)(OH2) 4]· 4H2O} n with M= Mn (1) and Ni (2), were synthesized by the rational …

The effect of heteroatoms on hydrogen adsorption properties of activated and hybrid carbon
materials is critically described. For that purpose, olive stones were activated chemically with …

Intentional incorporation of defect sites functionalized with free carboxylic acid groups was
achieved in a paddlewheel-based metal–organic framework (MOF) of rht topology, NU-125 …

The neutral flexible viologen based ligand 1, 1′-bis (4-carboxybenzyl)-4, 4′-bipyridinium
dibromide (H2LBr2) and its self-assembly with first-row transition metals in an aqueous …

The functionalisation of organic linkers in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve gas
uptake is well-documented. Although the positive role of free carboxylic acid sites in MOFs …
