Thesis Title
Interior Decoration of Metal-Organic Frameworks through a Thermolabile Protecting Group Strategy

Read article at Massey Research Online:

What if harmful chemicals could be selectively sponged from the environment? Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are nanoporous materials and capable of doing exactly that. This is due to their enormous internal surface area, stability, and chemically tuneable construction. In addition, thermolabile-protecting groups (TPGs) act as chemical tags that can be removed by heating the functionalised material to reveal a novel chemical functional group. This strategy has provided access to two chemically distinct materials in one and increased the MOF鈥檚 ability to sponge target chemicals by introducing strongly-binding functional groups such as carboxylic acids. In Heather Jameson鈥檚 research, the interior of MOFs were decorated with thermolabile protecting groups, which provided new insight into the interaction of functionalised materials with gases. Also showing how MOF properties can be further controlled for tailored applications via the use of TPGs.
