摘要:
An approach to synthesizing and assembling nanoparticles into discrete, size-tunable, pre-designed architectures is realized in a single synthetic/process step.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials that include metal ions linked together into periodic structures via organic ligands. MOFs that contain lanthanide ions are a new class of visible and near-IR luminescent materials, suitable for a broad range of applications. For example, the MOF framework afforded by 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-phenylene)di-2,1-ethenediyl]bis-carboxylate is associated with unusually long luminescence lifetimes. Thus, a complex of this ligand with a lanthanide provides a sharp emission profile, coupled with a comparatively long signal lifetime, for an unusually high luminescence. More generally, lanthanide-MOF systems exhibit several advantages that are ideal for barcoded materials, due to the photophysical attributes of lanthanide cations and the well-defined organization of the MOF structure.
摘要:
Mixed Matrix Membrane (MMM) are composite membranes for gas separation and comprising a quantity of inorganic filler particles, in particular metal organic framework (MOF), dispersed throughout a polymer matrix comprising one or more polymers. This disclosure is directed to MOF functionalized through addition of a pendant functional group to the MOF, in order to improve interaction with a surrounding polymer matrix in a MMM. The improved interaction aids in avoiding defects in the MMM due to incompatible interfaces between the polymer matrix and the MOF particle, in turn increasing the mechanical and gas separation properties of the MMM. The disclosure is also directed to a MMM incorporating the surface functionalized MOF.
