The dynamic adaptability of mixed-ligand zinc MOFs: from fundaments to applications
University of Parma · Consorzio Interuniversitario Reattività Chimica e Catalisi
Abstract
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are functional materials composed of metal nodes linked by organic ligands, often displaying empty pores or channels. Their dynamic structural rearrangement upon guest sorption and desolvation makes them uniquely adaptable and suitable for a wide range of applications. In particular, mixed-ligand Zinc MOFs represent an attractive subset of those materials for their extensive flexibility in coordination and topology. In this review we first discuss the coordination geometries, resulting topologies, and possible structural and dynamic rearrangement modes of different Zn mixed-ligand MOFs families. Like modular tools, the knowledge of these classes and modes make possible the a…
