title: Ambient pressure synthesis of MIL-100(Fe) MOF from homogeneous solution using a redox pathway.
abstract: Micro- to mesoporous iron(iii) trimesate MIL-100(Fe) is a MOF of high interest for numerous applications. With regard to large-scale synthesis, e.g., by continuous flow or the in situ deposition of coatings, a replacement for the conventional, hydrothermal low-yield fluoride-containing synthesis is desirable. In this contribution, we present a method to synthesize crystalline fluoride-free MIL-100(Fe) from iron(iii) nitrate and trimesic acid in zeotropic DMSO/water solution at normal ambient pressure involving a DMSO-nitrate redox pathway. Yields of 72%, surface areas of SBET = 1791 m(2) g(-1) and pore volumes of Vpore = 0.82 cm(3) g(-1) were achieved.
