Immobilization of polyoxometalates in the Zr-based metal organic framework UiO-67†
Abstract
The encapsulation of polyoxometalates within the large pores of the Zr(IV) biphenyldicarboxylate UiO-67 metal–organic framework has been achieved, for the first time, by direct solvothermal synthesis. The resulting POM@UiO-67 composite materials were fully characterized by XRPD, IR, MAS NMR, N2 porosimetry measurements and cyclic voltammetry.
