The synthesis of rare-earth cluster-based MOFs is often performed using metal nitrate salts as precursors. In this work, we demonstrate that six other Y(III) precursors can be used as alternatives in the synthesis of Y-CU-45 (CU = Concordia University), yielding reproducible results and high-quality materials.

CAU-28 (CAU = Christian-Albrechts-University) is a zirconium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) that features a bio-renewable linker (furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid) and can be obtained through a green synthesis. In this work, we report an optimized synthesis of CAU-28, substantially enhancing the yield from 2 to 53 %. Moreover, taking advantage of the high ...
