When introducing -NH2 into MOFs, what's the difference between using NH2-functionalized organic linker and post-synthetic modification?

To make my question clear, let me give a specific example for discussion. UiO-66-NH2 is synthesized with 2-NH2-BDC as organic linker. In comparison, UiO-66 can be synthesized with BDC as organic...

Is it possible to reduce Pd(II) to Pd(0) using H2 under room temp in a sealed autoclave?

Dear fellow researchers: I prepared Pd/MOFs powder via wet impregnation using PdCl2 as precursor solution. To reduce Pd(II) to Pd(0) before applying catalysis, and also to find a convenient...

Does the phenomenon of MOFs dissolved in solvents necessarily mean that the crystal structure of the MOFs has been damaged?

When preparing Pd@MOFs catalysts via wet impregnation, I added carbon-dots solutions (synthesized from citric acid and ethylenediamine) into MOFs suspension in an attempt to facilitate the...

How to interpret the changes in BET surface area and pore volume before and after metal loading?

As the figure shows, the BET surface area of Pd/MOF samples decreases while the pore volume increases compared with those of MOF precursors. The decrease of SBET could be caused by the...

How will the drying process affect MOF crystallinity and particle size?

After centrifugation, I dried my MOF samples under 50C in a blast oven for many hours (didn't count exactly). However, my samples always became rock-like bulks after drying, which I had to grind...
