Abstract

Due to the socioeconomic impact of their applications, the development of new multifunctional materials has been increased in the last years. Among functional materials, porous coordination polymers or Metal- Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have appeared as one of the most promising. MOFs are crystalline hybrid materials built up from inorganic nodes (cations, clusters, chains, etc.) and polytopic organic linkers. The irregular and important porosity (Brunaeur-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area up to 7800m2·g-1; pore diameters from 3 to 98 Å and pore volume up to 5 cm3·g-1), combined with their huge structural variety and their large chemical versatility make these materials excellent candidates to be applied in a large panel of different applications (fluid storage and separation, heterogeneous catalysis, sensing, biomedicine, energy and environment, among others).In this PhD thesis, the synthesis, full characterization and potential application of 4 new MOF structures is described. These materials (branded as IEFs from IMDEA Energy Frameworks) are based on photoactive polydentate ligands (i.e. squarate, triazine phosphonate, pyrene phosphonate derivatives) and different metal ions (i.e.Ni(II), Bi(III), Zr(IV) and Ti(IV))...
