FUNCTIONALIZATION AND MESOPOROSITY CONTROL OF ZEOLITIC METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS

摘要

Microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with controlled crystal morphology and functionality offer prospective applications in heterogeneous catalysis, porous membranes, thin film devices, biomedical imaging and biosensing, and controlled drug release etc. In this presentation, we will report our recent progress on synthesis, organization, and functionalization of MOF nanocrystals. Controllable crystal morphological evolution from simple cubes to complex octadecahedra has been achieved, and resultant MOF nanocrystals have shown promising opportunities for preparation of self-assembled MOFs.
