In this work, nine new rare-earth metal-organic frameworks (RE-MOFs, where RE = Lu(III), Yb(III), Tm(III), Er(III), Ho(III), Dy(III), Tb(III), Gd(III), and Eu(III)) isostructural to Zr-MOF-808 are synthesized, characterized, and studied regarding their photophysical properties. Materials with hig ...

RE-UiO-66 analogues are synthesized using RE acetates as precursors for the first time. These MOFs are fully characterized and the influence of the precursor on the materials obtained is studied. Additionally, the influence of water on the yield of the syntheses and the quality of the materials is explored.

Low-cost analytical assays enable accessible detection of clinically and environmentally important analytes; however, common enzyme-based assays suffer from high production and storage costs. Catalytically active synthetic materials serve as replacements for natural enzymes, but development of cost-effective, highly efficient synthetic strategies remains ...

A Zr6-based metal-organic framework (MOF), MOF-808, is investigated for the adsorptive removal of IO3- from aqueous solutions, due to its high surface area and abundance of open metal sites. The uptake kinetics, adsorption capacity and binding mode are studied, showing a maximum uptake capacity of 233 mg g-1, the highest reported by any material.
