main Methods page · Synthesis of Fe3(THT)2(NH4)3 2D MOF film
Metal precursorsFe(acac)2 in CHCl3, 20 ml, 0.5 mM.
Linker precursorsTHT monomer in water, 1 mM, included in 20 ml top-phase stock solution.
SolventsCHCl3 organic phase; water top phase; 200 ml water transfer bath for thin films.
AdditivesNH4OH, 0.01 M in THT water stock; dilute HCl used during washing.
AtmosphereArgon; all solutions bubbled with Ar before use.
Temperatureroom temperature reaction; dried at 60 C under Ar overnight
Time72 h for about 2 um thick film; shorter times used for 20 nm to hundreds of nanometres films
Substrate orientationnot_applicable
Oxidant / reductantAuthors propose spontaneous one-electron transfer from Fe(II) precursor to ligand during synthesis; trace dissolved oxygen could accelerate oxidation.
Work-upVacuum filtration through 0.45 um Nylon membrane; washed sequentially with water, dilute HCl, water, chloroform and acetone.
ActivationDried at 60 C under Ar overnight; N2 sorption samples degassed at 120 C for at least 4 h before measurement.
Scalability contextInterfacial method yields large-area free-standing films; thickness tuneable by reaction time.
