Multiple functional groups in UiO-66 improve chemical warfare agent simulant degradation.

Multiple functional groups in UiO-66 improve chemical warfare agent simulant degradation. Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Apr 17;: Authors: Kalaj M, Palomba JM, Bentz KC, Cohen SM Abstract A library of 26 mixed ligand UiO-66 analogs was synthesized, characterized, and screened for catalytic degradation of the chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulant dimethyl 4-nitrophenylphosphate (DMNP). The MOFs were screened and compared to physical mixtures of the same single component MOFs. Several of the MOFs display higher catalytic activity than the parent UiO-66 and other single ligand UiO-66 analogues. PMID: 30994655 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
