Description

Iron Azobenzene Tetracarboxylic, Porous [Pcn-250(Fe)], Conektic(Tm) F250 is a highly porous, crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF) material featuring iron nodes and azobenzene tetracarboxylate linkers. This material matters for its exceptional surface area, tunable porosity, and unique photoresponsive properties derived from the azobenzene moiety, enabling advanced separation and catalytic processes. It is primarily needed by researchers and engineers in the fields of gas storage, heterogeneous catalysis, molecular sensing, and the development of smart, stimuli-responsive materials.

Application

• Gas Storage and Separation: Selective adsorption and storage of gases like CO₂, H₂, and CH₄ for energy and environmental applications.
• Heterogeneous Catalysis: Serving as a robust and reusable catalyst or catalyst support for organic transformations and oxidation reactions.
• Molecular Sensing: Utilized in sensor devices for the detection of specific gases, vapors, or small molecules due to its framework flexibility and interaction sites.
• Photoresponsive Systems: Development of light-controlled release systems, switches, or actuators leveraging the cis-trans isomerization of the azobenzene linker.
• Drug Delivery: Investigation as a nanocarrier for the controlled and targeted delivery of therapeutic agents.
• Wastewater Treatment: Adsorption and removal of organic dyes, heavy metal ions, or other pollutants from industrial effluents.

Quality Control

Our Iron Azobenzene Tetracarboxylic, Porous [Pcn-250(Fe)] is synthesized and handled under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including PXRD, BET surface area analysis, TGA, and elemental analysis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific data are available upon request to support your research and quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation of the porous structure. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccator.
