Metal‐Organic Frameworks: Coordination Polymer Nanoparticles and Macrostructures

摘要: Organization at the atomic scale of metal cations by connecting them with organic linkers leads to construction hybrid crystalline microporous frameworks, also known as porous coordination polymers (PCPs). Owing their high loading capacity and chemical composition versatility, PCPs are attractive for applications such gas storage, catalysis, sensing, proton conduction, or adsorptive separation. Beside conventional research that aims designing PCP crystal characteristics molecular scale, recent efforts focused on modulation size shape synthesis polycrystalline macrostructures well-defined morphologies. Indeed, a major challenge today is develop strategies allow integration into readily applicable devices, which fully exploit attributes these promising materials. The highly reactive surfaces (composed partially coordinated ligands uncoordinated centers), possible equilibrium surface, large number frameworks available (implying range conditions) make compatible wide physicochemical mechanical microfabrication methods. Syntheses uniform nanocrystal suspensions, assemblies in form membranes, pattern surfaces, hollow spheres, coatings, multiporous architectures were therefore reported. This chapter review most reported so far synthesize nanocrystals PCP-based composites.
