Latest Patents
Conor Hamill's latest patents include a "Process for preparing metal organic frameworks having improved water stability." This invention relates to a continuous process for the preparation of a metal-organic framework comprising a hydrophobic compound. The process involves providing a first component that includes either a metal-organic framework or a first reactant with at least one metal in ionic form and a second reactant with a ligand capable of associating with the metal. The invention also emphasizes the use of a hydrophobic polymer, silane compound, or siloxane compound to enhance the water stability of the framework.
Another significant patent is the "Process for preparing shaped metal-organic framework materials." This process includes providing a first reactant with at least one metal in ionic form and a second reactant with an organic ligand. The reactants are allowed to react to form a MOF, and a shaped body is formed directly from the mixture using an extruder or continuous kneader. The initial ratio of the metal to the organic ligand is controlled to ensure that shaped bodies with a minimum defined crush strength are produced without external binders or lubricants.
