What is Metal Organic Framework?

Eg;Transition metals & Lanthanides Eg;Tricarboxylic acids,Imidazoles

Ligands used for the synthesis of MOFs
Different methods for the synthesis of MOFs
SOLVOTHERRMAL METHOD

MOF Centrifuge
Hot air oven
Why this Ligand?
• Trimesic acid has three carboxyl groups, each capable of coordinating with
metal ions. This allows it to form stable framework with a variety of metals

• The rigid, planar structure of trimesic acid contributes to the stability of the
framework it forms.

• The ability of trimesic acid to coordinate with different metals makes it

highly versatile
