Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) consist of sterically hindered Lewis acids and Lewis bases, which provide high catalytic activity towards non-metal-mediated activation of "inert" small molecules, including CO2 among others. One critical issue of homogeneous ...

Sustainable catalysts based on earth-abundant elements are considered as economical alternatives to precious-metal-bearing catalysts and could be impactful for many applications. Self-healing sustainable catalysts, which in addition to their 'green' charac ...

A strategy based on the use of ligand steric hindrance and metal doping is reported for the design and synthesis of near-infrared (NIR) emitting lanthanide-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The lanthanide ions are free of coordinated solvents, and the ...

The invention features metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) having a crystalline lattice comprising metallic nodes and organic ligands, wherein each organic ligand comprises a Lewis acidic or basic centre bound to N conjugated systems, wherein N is comprised be ...

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) are usually stabilized by a capping agent, a surfactant, or a support material, to maintain their integrity. However, these strategies can impact their intrinsic catalytic activity. Here, we demonstrate that the in-situ formation ...

Prolonged consumption of water contaminated with fluoride ions (F-) at concentrations exceeding 1.5 ppm can lead to considerable health implications, particularly in children and developing embryos. With irreversible and potentially severe forms of fluorid ...

Herein, we present a new strategy to design metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as adsorbents for ammonia (NH3) vapour. The linking ligand is functionalized with a sterically hindered Lewis acidic boron (B) centre, allowing efficient capture of NH3 and easy re ...

Methanation of carbon dioxide (CO2) is attractive within the context of a renewable energy refinery. Herein, we report an indirect methanation method that harnesses amino alcohols as relay molecules in combination with a catalyst comprising ruthenium nanop ...

Biologically derived metal-organic frameworks (bio-MOFs) are of great importance as they can be used as models for bio-mimicking and in catalysis, allowing us to gain insights into how large biological molecules function. Through rational design, here we r ...

Recyclable materials for simultaneous detection and uptake of ammonia (NH3) are of great interest due to the hazardous nature of NH3. The structural versatility and porous nature of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) make them ideal candidates for NH3 capture ...

The present invention concerns a photocatalytic system comprising or consisting of: a titanium-based metal-organic framework MOF based on or including a single ligand type or a plurality of different ligand types for generating photo-generated charge carri ...

Finding pragmatic solutions to curb the accumulation of atmospheric CO2 and tackle the associated greenhouse effect is challenging. Herein, we demonstrate the use of an in situ formed frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) within a metal-organic framework (MOF) to ef ...
