Synthesis and characterization of new copper-based metal-organicframeworks

Metal-organic frameworks are structures that consist of metal ions or clusters coordinated withorganic ligands. They have a high surface area, tunable pore size, and customizable properties thatmake them attractive for a wide range of applications. Some of the applications of MOFs include:the production of implants, drug delivery systems, medical imaging, Sensor, Energy storagesystems, Gas storage, Building materials, Catalysis and Electrocatalysis [۱-۵]. In this study, thesolvothermal synthesis of a new metal-organic framework based on copper is reported. Thestructure of the obtained product was identified by FT-IR, CHN, BET and PXRD analyses. Theresults confirmed the successful fabrication of Cu-MOF nanoparticles.
