The crystalline sponge method: MOF terminal ligand effects

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jun 30;51(56):11252-5. doi: 10.1039/c5cc03840e.

Abstract

Bromide and chloride analogs of the commonly used zinc iodide-based metal organic framework for the crystalline sponge method were synthesized and evaluated. Inclusion of (1R)-(-)-menthyl acetate into these MOFs was analysed using third-generation synchrotron radiation, and the effects and potential benefits of varying the MOF terminal ligand are discussed.
