Tetratopic zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks: Synthesis and application in environmental remediation via adsorption and catalysis

초록

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are highly versatile porous materials with applications spanning gas storage, catalysis, and sensing. Among the MOFs, zirconium-based ones (Zr-MOFs) stand out due to their exceptional chemical, mechanical, and thermal stability, which is crucial for practical applications in harsh conditions. The choice of organic linker is paramount in MOF design; tetradentate linkers, with their four coordination points, significantly enhance framework connectivity, leading to superior stability, large pore volumes, and intricate architectures. This review firstly provides a comprehensive overview of Zr-MOFs constructed with tetratopic organic linkers, focusing on their structural features, synthesis strategies, and diverse applications in environmental remediation, including gas capture (e.g., CO2) and catalysis. This review highlights the unique advantages and promising future of tetratopic Zr-MOFs.
