Conferencia: «Pre- and postsynthetic strategies applied to MOFs – towards selected catalytic applications”

Conferencia impartida por el profesor Wojciech Bury (Faculty of Chemistry, University of Wrocław, Poland).

Abstract: The observed rapid growth of interests in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been the result of their numerous intriguing properties, which lead to many potential applications of MOFs, including gas storage, separations, heterogenous catalysis, biomedical applications, and others. Proper selection of building blocks allows to design MOF structure and often its desired physicochemical properties. Post-synthetic modifications of MOFs allow for their further functionalization, expanding their possible applications. Nevertheless, presynthetic design of MOFs is of great importance for the construction of multivariate systems. In this presentation our approach to the application of MOFs as platforms and precursors for further transformations into functional systems will be presented.

The aim of our studies was to evaluate pre- and postsynthetic functionalization strategies in model zirconium-based MOFs to test the possibility of incorporating new functions into MOFs with special focus on three research topics: (1) catalytic synthesis of cyclic carbonates under mild reaction conditions, (2) synthesis of polymer@MOF hybrids based on radical polymerization of acrylic monomers, and (3) imprinting desired compositions into MTV-MOFs to obtain heterogenous catalysts for decomposition of liquid hydrogen sources.
