MOF-808(Hf) demonstrates a higher elastic modulus (37.5 ± 3.4 GPa) than that of MOF-808(Zr) (26.9 ± 5.2 GPa). In addition, MOF-808(Hf) shows a volumetric methane deliverable capacity of 110 v_(STP) v~(–1), which is among the highest-performing Zr/Hf-based MOFs for methane ...
In this context, the work carried out studied the catalytic performance of MOF-808 when its Zr(IV) metal centers are replaced by Hf(IV) and Ce(IV) atoms in the acetalization reaction of benzaldehyde with methanol. The MOFs obtained by solvothermal synthesis were characterized by powder X-ray...
