Tuning the mil-101 and mil-100 metal-organic frameworks reactivity via the linker's systematic modification in new mono- and bi-metallic derivatives: synthesis, theoretical and catalytic studies - 2024/2027

This study focuses on the systematic modification of linkers in the metal-organic frameworks MIL-101 and MIL-100 to fine-tune their reactivity and generate new mono- and bi-metallic derivatives. Through synthesis, theoretical modeling, and catalytic testing, materials with optimized properties for catalytic processes are developed. The goal is to produce efficient catalysts capable of transforming biomass-derived compounds into value-added products, thereby contributing to the advancement of sustainable technologies in green chemistry and the utilization of renewable resources.
