A Mesoporous Zirconium-Isophthalate Multifunctional Platform

MIP-206, a mesoporous MOF built with feedstock isophthalate and both Zr 6 and Zr 12 oxo-clusters under green scalable conditions, features good pore accessibility, excellent thermal and chemical stability, and outstanding chemical diversity and tunability. MIP-206s loaded with palladium nanoparticles act as efficient and durable catalysts for the dehydrogenation of formic acid. This paves the way toward the utilization of MIP-206 as a robust mesoporous platform for a wide range of potential applications.
