Linkers and coordinated solvent molecules; the two effective factors on formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles from metal-organic frameworks

摘要

The host and the apohost frameworks of Zn-2(ndc)(2)(DMF)(2)center dot(H2O)(4) (1 center dot DMF center dot H2O) and Zn-2(bdc)(2)(H2O)(2)center dot(DMF)(2) (2 center dot H2O center dot DMF), (H(2)ndc = 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, H(2)bdc = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid and DMF = N,N-Dimethylformamide), were synthesized, characterized and subsequently used for preparing of ZnO nanoparticles. The morphology of initial precursors has direct influence on agglomeration tendency of resulting ZnO nanoparticles. Linkers and coordinated solvent molecules are the two effective factors on the formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles from these metal-organic frameworks. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
