Green and environmentally friendly synthesis of Zinc-based metal-organic framework, its characterization and analysis

Ultrasound as green process and an alternative energy source was investigated for the environmentally benign synthesis with short reaction times, good selectivity and high yields reported [۱,۲]. One of the pioneering and interesting metal-organic framework material, called MOF-۲ and having the formula [Zn۲(BDC)۲] [۳]. Here we report an alternative approach to the synthesis of nanosheet structure zinc-based metal-organic framework that it was developed by treating zinc ions and terephthalic acid with ultrasound irradiation at room temperature. MOF-۲ has been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, Mass spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), all of the results supporting the good quality of the material. Surface morphology, shape and size of prepared compound was observed by scanning۲electron microscopy (SEM). The nanoporous nature of the prepared MOF-۲ was verified by N۲ adsorption/desorption result.
