DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS BASED ON MIL-101(Cr) METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS: A MINI REVIEW

MIL-101(Cr) is one of the most well-studied chromium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOF) consisting of a metallic chromium ion and a terephthalic acid ligand. The unique physicochemical properties of this MOF (ultra-high specific surface area, pore size, thermal and chemical stability, etc.) provide it with a wide range of applications in various fields of advanced materials science. Due to unsaturated Lewis acid sites in the structure, MIL-101(Cr) can be easily modified. In most cases, its derivatives demonstrate significantly improved characteristics compared to the pristine MOF. The review provides information on the practical application of MIL-101(Cr) in the adsorption of various compounds from aqueous solutions, gas storage and separation, and catalysis.
