  • Title: Hydrolytic Transformation of Microporous Metal-Organic Frameworks to Hierarchical Micro- and Mesoporous MOFs.
    Author: Kim Y, Yang T, Yun G, Ghasemian MB, Koo J, Lee E, Cho SJ, Kim K.
    Journal: Angew Chem Int Ed Engl; 2015 Nov 02; 54(45):13273-8. PubMed ID: 26381062.
    Abstract:
    A new approach to the synthesis of hierarchical micro- and mesoporous MOFs from microporous MOFs involves a simple hydrolytic post-synthetic procedure. As a proof of concept, a new microporous MOF, POST-66(Y), was synthesized and its transformation into a hierarchical micro- and mesoporous MOF by water treatment was studied. This method produced mesopores in the range of 3 to 20 nm in the MOF while maintaining the original microporous structure, at least in part. The degree of micro- and mesoporosity can be controlled by adjusting the time and temperature of hydrolysis. The resulting hierarchical porous MOF, POST-66(Y)-wt, can be utilized to encapsulate nanometer-sized guests such as proteins, and the enhanced stability and recyclability of an encapsulated enzyme is demonstrated.
