Sulfonic acid functionalized metal–organic framework (S-IRMOF-3) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst has been synthesized and employed for sustainable approach towards the synthesis of acrylonitriles in high yield and shorter reaction time period.
Introduction of Ag(i) ions into a sulfonic acid functionalized MOF ((Cr)-MIL-101-SO3H) significantly enhances its olefin/paraffin separations at room temperature.
The MOF, Cu3(BTC)2 functionalized with sulfonic acid via sequential post-synthetic modification and oxidation demonstrates high cadmium uptake capacity and fast kinetics for adsorbing cadmium ions from aqueous solution.
A simple and efficient method has been developed to synchronously construct hierarchical porosity and functionalization within a sulfonic acid group functionalized microporous MOF via a palladium-reduction induced strategy for the first time.
