Water-stable PCPs/MOFs based on the synergism of pyrazolate, carboxylate and phosphonate

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Christoph Janiak
• Subject Area: Inorganic Molecular Chemistry - Synthesis and Characterisation
• Term: from 2012 to 2015
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 226285685

The project aims for the synthesis, characterization and testing of water-stable PCPs/MOFs with combined pyrazolate-carboxlyate and pyrazolate-phosphonate-linkers as a conceptual advance for potential applications of these materials which require higher water-stability than what is presently typically available. Prolonged water/moisture stability is crucial for many envisioned real-world applications of MOFs.(MOF = metal-organic framework)
