Multifunctional Porous Materials - Mupomat

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2019-465

 
Description of research activity:

Development of 2D and 3D porous materials with applications in catalysis, magnetism and environmental remediation. In particular, the group works with a type of materials called porous coordination polymers or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). To this end, we use the tools offered by coordination chemistry to synthesise materials with known architectures, high structural stability and the possibility of functionalising the pores of the materials "à la carte" using the "complex as ligand" technique. This allows the effective use of these materials both for the selective capture of pollutants and for the preparation of subnanometric metal clusters for application in catalysis.

Scientific-technical goals:
  • Síntesis de polímeros de coordinación porosos (MOFs) de alta estabilidad, utilizando métodos de ensamblaje racionales con ligandos oxamato y oxamidato.
  • Síntesis de compuestos funcionales en MOFs con aplicaciones catalíticas y magnéticas. Esto incluye tanto la encapsulación de compuestos de coordinación como de clústeres metálicos subnanométricos.
  • Estudio de las interacciones huésped-anfitrión en estos sistemas y su aplicación en catálisis
  • Estudio de las propiedades de captura de contaminantes en base a su alta estabilidad, resistencia en agua y funcionalidades
