Pyrene-based MOFs
F. P. Kinik, A. Ortega-Guerrero, D. Ongari, C. P. Ireland, and B. Smit, Pyrene-based metal organic frameworks: from synthesis to applications Chem Soc Rev (2021) doi: 10.1039/D0CS00424C Abstract Pyrene is one of the most widely investigated aromatic hydrocarbons given to its unique optical and electronic properties. Hence, pyrene-based ligands have been attractive for the synthesis (…)
Colours of MOF
