Journal ArticleDOI
Ordered mesoporous and microporous molecular sieves functionalized with transition metal complexes as catalysts for selective organic transformations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defect‐Engineered Metal–Organic Frameworks
TL;DR: This Review provides both a concise overview of defects in MOFs, or more broadly coordination network compounds (CNCs), including their classification and characterization, together with the (potential) applications of defective CNCs/MOFs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis Modulation as a Tool To Increase the Catalytic Activity of Metal–Organic Frameworks: The Unique Case of UiO-66(Zr)
Frederik Vermoortele,Bart Bueken,Gaëlle Le Bars,Ben Van de Voorde,Matthias Vandichel,Kristof Houthoofd,Alexandre Vimont,Marco Daturi,Michel Waroquier,Veronique Van Speybroeck,Christine E. A. Kirschhock,Dirk De Vos +11 more
TL;DR: The catalytic activity of the zirconium terephthalate UiO-66(Zr) can be drastically increased by using a modulation approach, resulting in a more open framework with a large number of open sites and is a highly active catalyst for several Lewis acid catalyzed reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorptive separation on metal-organic frameworks in the liquid phase.
TL;DR: An overview of most of the existing literature on the capability of MOFs to separate and purify liquid mixtures is given, with an accent on separation mechanisms and structure-selectivity relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing the Lewis acidity and catalytic activity of the metal-organic framework [Cu3(btc)2] (BTC=benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate).
Luc Alaerts,Etienne Seguin,Hilde Poelman,Frédéric Thibault-Starzyk,Pierre Jacobs,Dirk De Vos +5 more
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the active sites in [Cu3(btc)2] are hard Lewis acids by using the ethylene ketal of 2-bromopropiophenone as a test substrate.
