MODIFICATION OF ZEOLITIC IMIDAZOLATE FRAMEWORKS AND AZIDE CROSS-LINKED MIXED-MATRIX MEMBRANES MADE THEREFROM

摘要

Disclosed is a method of modifying a metal-organic framework (MOF), the modified MOF, and methods for using the same. The method of modification can include heating a mixture comprising an azide compound and a MOF to generate a nitrene compound and nitrogen (N2) from the azide compound and covalently bonding the nitrene compound to the MOF to obtain the modified MOF.
