AbstraktAbstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a category of 3D materials that consist of metal ions and organic ligands. The subclass of MOFs comprising zinc metal ions and imidazole as an organic ligand, commonly known as zeolitic imidazole frameworks, has been extensively investigated for various applications (e.g. gas and molecular separation, adsorption, catalysis etc.). However, less attention is paid towards copper-imidazole MOFs. Though few structures are reported, their application-based studies have been scarce. Copper-based coordination polymers or MOFs are known to contain copper in a +I or +II oxidation state and redox-active, unlike zinc, which primarily shows a +II oxidation state and is redox inactive. The redox nature of the copper in association with imidazole can be utilized in catalysis. Therefore, the potential applicability of Cu-imidazole-based CPs/MOFs is expected to be higher.
