Converting 3D rigid metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to 2D flexible networks via ligand exchange for enhanced CO2/N2 and CH4/N2 separation

We report a synthetic strategy for constructing a novel flexible MOF from a rigid parent structure by ligand exchange. This is the first reported study on introducing flexible heterogeneity into a rigid structure via substantial structural rearrangement. The daughter material exhibits enhanced gas separation selectivity compared with the parent.

Pd(0) loaded Zn2(azoBDC)2(dabco) as a heterogeneous catalyst

We report a novel Pd(0) loaded metal–organic framework (MOF) catalyst, namely Pd@Zn2(azoBDC)2(dabco). The efficient catalytic activity and good recyclability of the heterogeneous catalyst carrier are demonstrated through the probe reduction reaction of 4-nitrophenol (NP) to 4-aminophenol (AP) by sodium borohydride (NaBH4).
