MOF-5 or IRMOF-1 is a cubic metal–organic framework compound with the formula Zn 4 O(BDC) 3, where BDC 2− = 1,4-benzodicarboxylate (MOF-5). [1] It was first synthesized by graduate students and post doctoral scholars in the lab of Omar M. Yaghi .

Nov 18, 1999 · Elemental microanalysis of the resulting colourless cubic crystals suggested that their formula was Zn 4 O (BDC) 3 · (DMF) 8 (C 6 H 5 Cl); here we call this material MOF-5, where MOF...

Jul 15, 2018 · In this work, rod-like metal-organic framework (MOF-5) nanomaterial was synthesized by a solvothermal method and applied to efficiently adsorb U (VI) from aqueous solutions.

MOF-5 with a Zn(II) cluster and terephthalic acid is a distinctive porous material among the metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), with unique physical, chemical and mechanical properties. MOF-5 based composites possess ample applications in modern chemistry.

Feb 1, 2009 · Metal–organic framework MOF-5 (Zn 4 O (BDC) 3), a microporous material with a high surface area and large pore volume, was synthesized by three approaches: direct mixing of triethylamine (TEA), slow diffusion of TEA, and solvothermal synthesis.

MOF-5 (sometimes called IRMOF-1) is a metal organic framework (MOF) formed from Zn 4 O with 1,4-benzodicarboxylic acid between the nodes. The spheres represent the pore size that can be used for gas storage.

MOF-5, also called as IRMOF-1, is a zinc based metal-organic framework that is made up of [Zn 4 O] 6+ inorganic moiety as the vertex and benzene dicarboxylic acid as the bifunctional bridging ligand of the crystal (Civalleri et al., 2006).
