Collection: Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF) and Their Raw Materials

Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF) and Their Raw Materials — includes multidentate organic ligands such as polycarboxylic acids, bis-imidazolyl compounds, and other aromatic building blocks, along with their precursors, which serve as raw materials for forming metal-organic framework (MOF) structures. These ligands act as connectors that bridge metal centers into regular porous structures.

These MOF raw materials are used by materials chemistry and inorganic chemistry researchers to assemble porous frameworks through solvothermal reactions with metal salts, producing materials for studies of gas adsorption, molecular separation, and heterogeneous catalysis. Cyclic dicarboxylic acid derivatives and bis-imidazolyl compounds in particular are chosen to control the geometry and pore size of the resulting framework.

Example products in this collection: TCI S0850 959-36-4 Salicylaldehyde Azine, TCI B5795 677010-20-7 [1,1'-Biphenyl]-3,4',5-tricarboxylic Acid, TCI A0088 142-45-0 Acetylenedicarboxylic Acid, TCI B6458 69506-86-1 1,4-Di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)butane, TCI T4344 1128-13-8 2,3,5,6-Tetraaminocyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione, TCI C0458 610-09-3 cis-1,2-Cyclohexanedicarboxylic Acid, TCI T4263 1227195-24-5 1,1,2,2-Tetrakis[4-(pyridin-4-yl)phenyl]ethene, TCI C0474 2305-32-0 trans-1,2-Cyclohexanedicarboxylic Acid.

Pay attention to ligand purity, isomer condition (cis/trans) in cyclic compounds, and the number and position of coordinating groups, since these determine the topology and porosity of the resulting MOF framework. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
