EN] Metal-organic frameworks are a recently-identified class of porous material,
consisting of metal ions linked together with organic bridging ligands. The
porosity of these materials allows the absorption of suitable molecules into the
structure. The [Co2(C8H2O6)(H2O)2]·8H2O MOF(CPO-27) has been synthetized
by solvothermal methodology following the procedure described by Dietzel et
al.[1]. Activation of MOF was carried out in order to remove water molecules
linked to the cobalt; consequently metal active sites are available to perform
catalytic reactions.
Well-known simulant of nerve gases, such as diethylchlorophosphate (DCP)
and dimethylmethyl phosphate (DMP), are extremely harmful and stable, and
consequently, hardly to degrade. In order to evaluate the potential capacity of
the CPO- 27 as catalyst in the degradation of DCP and DMP, several attempts
have been carried out by using different media. The reactions were followed by
1H, 13C, 31P NMR and XRD spectroscopies to monitorize the resultsGómez Paricio, A. (2013). Use the Cpo-27 to Degrade Simulant of Nerve Agents. http://hdl.handle.net/10251/17604
