Abstract
Novel crystalline porous materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and methods for their synthesis are provided herein. The MOFs include a M(μ-OH)(OH)(μ,η-(OC)cyclam)cluster, and a metal atom coordinated to the one or more cyclam of the cluster, wherein M is Zr or Hf, and the metal atom is any one of Cu, Ni, Cr, Ru, Co, and Gd. The MOFs can be used as an adsorbent, alone or in a medium with other components, of CO. The MOFs can also be used as a catalyst for the transformation of COand epoxides to cyclic carbonates. The MOFs can also be used in the electrochemical catalytic reduction of CO. The MOFs can also be used for photocatalytic COreduction for the production of carbon-based fossil fuels. The MOFs can also be used for light-induced nitric oxide (NO) release. The MOFs can also be used as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents.
