Abstract

Abstract : A new method for the crystal growth of two Zn-based MOFs at room temperature (known MOF-5 and a new modification of [{Zn2 (TBAPy)(H2 O)2 }·3.5DEF] n ). Abstract : Herein, we report a new method for the crystal growth of two Zn-based MOFs at room temperature (known MOF-5 and a new modification of [{Zn2 (TBAPy)(H2 O)2 }·3.5DEF] n (1 )) by employing slow diffusion conditions. Employing both Zn-based MOFs with different pore morphology made it possible to discover an anomalous adsorption ofl -histidine in1 of up to 24.3 × 10 15 molecules cm −2 at 25 °C. This is one of the first reports aimed not only at describing a new method for the targeted formation of crystalline MOFs and coordination polymers, but also at demonstrating the use of Zn-based MOFs as potential drug delivery materials, with highly effective adsorption ofl -histidine given herein as an example.
