A METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF NANOMOF AND PRELIMINARY CHARACTERIZATION BY SELECTED ANALYSTICAL TECHNIQUESWojciech Starosta1, Bożena Sartowska1, Krzysztof Łyczko1, Jan Maurin2, Andrzej Pawlukojæ1, Lech Wali1, Marek Buczkowski1 1 Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology, 16 Dorodna Str., 03-195 Warsaw, Poland 2 National Nuclear Research Centre (NCBJ), 7 Andrzeja Sołtana Str., 05-400 Otwock, Poland Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous hybrid materials comprising metal ion-based vertices and multitopic organic ligands (linkers). The possibility of combining a wide range of metals with similarly large number of available ligands opens ways to design the structures meeting specific purposes. At present, many potential applications of MOFs may require them to be constructed at the nanometer length scale (nanoMOFs). The possibility of filling the track-etched membrane pores with MOF HKUST-1 has been demonstrated in this work. Close X |
