L-Aspartate links for stable sodium metal-organic frameworks

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Dec 21;51(98):17463-6. doi: 10.1039/c5cc07578e. Epub 2015 Oct 16.

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based purely on sodium are rare, typically due to large numbers of coordinating solvent ligands. We designed a tetratopic aspartate-based linker with flexible carboxylate groups to enhance framework stability. We report two new air-stable sodium MOFs, MOF-705 and MOF-706, comprising 2D sodium oxide sheets.
