Dynamic Studies Of Guest Molecules In Metal-Organic Frameworks And Zeolites Via Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Bowei Wu

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are synthetic compounds with crystalline microporous structures, consisting of metal centres joined by organic linkers. Zeolites are a class of crystalline porous materials featuring negatively charged aluminosilicate frameworks and charge-balancing cations.

In this work, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) is used to probe guest molecule locations and dynamics in MOFs and zeolites, yielding detailed informations of guest motion within these porous materials

Chapter 2 describes SSNMR dynamic studies of 13CO2, 13CO and C2D4 adsorption behaviour in the α - zinc formate MOF, [Zn3(HCOO)6], which were performed …
