Ever wanted to monitor #MOF#synthesis on the cheap? Look no further: Felicity's paper describing how MOF scale-up can be improved using an open source, multi-channel monitor - all for https://t.co/0Olw8ChObv
Very much enjoyed the science and discussion from the
@RSC_PorMat#RSCPMGPoster event. Thanks to all those who presented and a massive thanks to @ThomasDBennett@forganross@AndreaLaybourn (et al.) for organising! Well deserved, if social distant, post-poster pint in order!
@SSDhankhar7 Hi Sandeep - nice work. 1) For either route did you have to use any solvent? 2) an important concept for green chem. is how you deal with by-products and waste - have you looked into by-products of this reactions (perhaps from the metal source)?
@Josh_Nicks_@RSC_PorMat@ChemCommun Hi Josh, nice to see some MOF catalysis! Can you comment on what is currently being used for this reaction in literature/industry and how your materials compare?
@ChrisAshling@RSC_PorMat Hi Chris, Nice work. This covers MIL-53 and ZIF-62. Do you see this being applicable to a wider range of materials? Any limitations to which frameworks can be mixed with which frameworks?
@DomWard3@RSC_PorMat@TimEasun Hi Dom, Nice concept. 1) Could you expand a little on the gas separation idea? Is one form blocking all gas and when you irradiate, a MOF phase change occurs allowing one of the gases through? 2) How do you envision this working practically? Any issues with phase change in a MMM?
@Frances20120174 Hi Francesca, what was the reason to look at CH4 in particular? Were you interested in its physical properties or for an end application?
@CatWalshe08@RSC_PorMat Hi Catherine, 1) Do you see fully conversion to the Br2 form? 2) Do you seen any relationship between lattice parameters and Br content?
@TimCrai80418015 @seinapapa @MacDiarmidInsti Thanks for this.
ASA - accessible surface area.
Soxhlet washing may be a neater way to do this but not ideal. Possibly burning them out too but I suspect agglomeration would still be problematic.
