RAPID AND ENHANCED ACTIVATION OF MICROPOROUS COORDINATION POLYMERS BY FLOWING SUPERCRITICAL CO2

摘要

Flowing supercritical CO₂ is used to activate metal organic framework materials (MOF). MOFs are activated directly from N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) thus avoiding exchange with a volatile solvent. Most MCPs display increased surface areas directly after treatment although those with coordinatively unsaturated metal centers benefit from additional heating.
