Reducing the particle size of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) MIL-68(In) and ZIF-8 leads to increased adsorption of volatile semiochemical guests. Opposing trends were observed in release dynamics, with the release...
Ultrasonic liquid exfoliation provides a convenient route for converting layered materials into nanosheets. However, the relationship between the structure and morphology of the bulk materials and the properties of the resulting nanosheets remains poorly understood. In this work, we prepare an isoreticular series of layered metal-organic frameworks...
Semiochemicals can be used to manipulate insect behaviour for sustainable pest management strategies, but their high volatility is a major issue for their practical implementation. Inclusion of these molecules within porous materials is a potential solution to this issue, as it can allow for a slower and more controlled release. In this work, we de...
Reactive inkjet printing (RIJ) is demonstrated as a new approach to the patterning of surfaces with metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). RIJ is an emerging manufacturing technique that jets solutions of reagents onto a substrate allowing them to react in situ to form the desired material. MOFs have the potential to perform a variety of useful sensing,...
The liquid exfoliation of layered metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to form nanosheets (MONs) exposes buried functional groups making them useful in a range of sensing and catalytic applications. Here we show how high yielding click reactions can be used post-exfoliation to systematically modify the surface chemistry of MONs allowing for tuning of th...
Metal‐organic framework nanosheets (MONs) have recently emerged as a distinct class of 2D materials with programmable structures that make them useful in diverse applications. In this review, the breadth of applications that have so far been investigated are surveyed, thanks to the distinct combination of properties afforded by MONs. How: 1) The hi...
Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are a diverse and tunable class of materials, but their potential as free-standing two-dimensional nanomaterials has yet to be explored. Here we report the self-assembly of two layered hydrogen-bonded frameworks based on strong, charge-assisted hydrogen-bonding between carboxylate and amidinium groups. Ultr...
Metal-organic framework nanosheets (MONs) have received considerable recent interest, thanks to their high external surface areas, nanoscopic dimensions and diverse and tunable structures. We report a new approach utilising covalent post-synthetic functionalisation to enhance the top-down exfoliation of layered metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to fo...
