Synthesis and characterization of nanoporous iron(III) terephthalate; Application of metal-organic framework in dye degradation

The 3D porous metal-organic framework (MOF), MIL-53(Fe), was synthesised with ferrocene by slow vapor diffusion method under room conditions. The obtained compound was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, ICP analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy. The catalytic behavior of the metal-organic framework has been studied by measuring the degradation of azo dye in water under the mild condition. The catalytic decolorization was followed by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results showed that the MOF can act as active catalyst in the degradation of the Bismarck brown as a diazo dye.
