| Product Name | MOF-801 |
| Particle size | ≈600 nm |
| Specific surface area | ≥900 ㎡/g |
| Pore size | ≈0.4 nm |
The SBU of MOF-801 is a zirconium oxide [Zr6(μ3–O)4(μ3–OH)4] octahedral cluster in which six Zr cations reside at the six polyhedron vertices of the octahedron are held together by eight μ3‑oxygen atoms. The eight equivalent equilateral faces are alternately capped by four μ3-OH and four μ3-O groups. The SBUs are connected to each other by ligands forming a net topology of ‘fcu’ type where each SBU is connected to twelve carboxylate groups from twelve ligands. It is a highly hydrostable MOF due to the strong bonding of zirconium with the oxygen atom of the carboxylate, acting as hard acid and base, respectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the particle size and surface area of MOF-801?
MOF-801 features a particle size of approximately 600 nm, a specific surface area of ≥900 ㎡/g, and a pore size of approximately 0.4 nm.
What are the primary applications of MOF-801?
MOF-801 is widely researched for use as a water harvester to produce fresh water from atmospheric humidity and as an adsorbent for cooling systems.
What other potential applications does MOF-801 have?
It shows potential in hydrogen and water storage, photocatalytic degradation, pollutant removal, removal of fluoride and poisonous metals, nanoscale drug delivery, and the separation of propylene/propane mixtures.
What is the SBU structure of MOF-801?
The SBU (Secondary Building Unit) of MOF-801 is a zirconium oxide [Zr6(μ3–O)4(μ3–OH)4] octahedral cluster where six Zr cations at the vertices are held together by eight μ3-oxygen atoms, with faces capped alternately by four μ3-OH and four μ3-O groups.
Why does MOF-801 exhibit high hydrostability?
MOF-801 is highly hydrostable due to the strong coordination bonding between the zirconium (acting as a hard acid) and the oxygen atom of the carboxylate ligand (acting as a hard base).
