Mechanochemical defect engineering of HKUST-1 and impact of the resulting defects on carbon dioxide sorption and catalytic cyclopropanation
Courtesy of Hiden Analytical Ltd.
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), that are hybrid porous materials built from the assembly of metal centers and bridging organic linkers, are ideal candidates for many demanding applications including gas sorption and catalysis. For a long time, the properties of these materials were thought to essentially arise from their well-defined crystal structures.
It is only recently that the impact of structural defects on the properties of MOFs has been evidenced. Such defects, usually present in the form of missing linkers and/or metallic atoms, can significantly enhance, or on the contrary, lead to complete loss of performances for a given application. The understanding of structural defects in MOFs is therefore of crucial importance in further development of these fascinating materials, in academic research as well as in emerging industrial applications.
