Controlled growth of narrowly dispersed nanosize hexagonal MOF rods from Mn(III)-porphyrin and In(NO3)3 and their application in olefin oxidation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Jun 4;48(44):5512-4. doi: 10.1039/c2cc31075a. Epub 2012 Apr 27.

Abstract

A new class of narrowly dispersed nanosize hexagonal MOF rods from Mn(III)-porphyrin and In(III) was obtained. The length of MOF rods was controlled by simple change of reaction times. Furthermore, the oxidation of styrene has been successfully demonstrated with Mn(III)-porphyrin MOF rods and their reusability has been also tested.
