Synthesis of Nanoscale Metal Organic Frameworks in Reverse Microemulsions

Abstract:

The design and synthesis of new porous metal-organic framework (MOF) solids is of current interest. The pores and channels formed by the framework may be tailored and exploited for molecular inclusion (such as hydrogen storage), size or shape selective separation, and catalysis. This presentation will focus on the preparation, characterization and possible applications of new nanocrystalline MOFs as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. A brief background in MOFs, reverse microemulsions, and MR imaging will be provided.
