MOF-801 Powder Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs)

CAS: 1355974-78-5

MOF-801 is constructed by Zr₆O₄(OH)₄ and fumarate as the metal cluster and ligand, respectively. It has a similar topology compared with UiO-66 and was firstly reported in 2012 where both ZrCl₄ and fumaric acid were reacted in a solvothermal condition with the presence of formic acid as the modulator. This is particularly driven by its promising application as a water harvester which utilises the surrounding humidity to produce fresh water and as an adsorbent for cooling system.

Since then, the research interest in MOF-801 has significantly increased. This is particularly driven by its promising application as a water harvester which utilises the surrounding humidity to produce fresh water and as an adsorbent for cooling system. Besides, Many potential applications of MOF-801 were reported in hydrogen and water storage, photocatalytic degradation, adsorbent for pollutants removal, the removal of fluoride and poisonous metals, nanoscale drug delivery, and separation of propylene/propane mixture.

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 carbox ylate, acting as hard acid and base, respectively.
