Abstract
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are highly porous and crystalline inorganic-organic hybrid materials, which have high surface areas and low density. In recent years, MOFs have become a popular subject of materials research due to their potential utility in host-guest chemistry. MOFs are a type of molecular sieve, much like zeolites, and can be used in gas storage and separation. It is these adsorptive properties that make MOFs so useful. In this study, we prepared crystalline and micro-crystalline MOFs containing both carboxylate and thiocarboxylate ligands under various synthetic conditions. The resulting ligands and MOFs were characterized by NMR, XRD, IR, and SDT. Subsequently, the MOFs were also studied for their host-guest chemistry of dye molecules such as methylene blue and p-nitrophenol in an aqueous environment.
