Abstract:
The problem associated with metal nanoparticle (NP) agglomeration when trying to achieve a high loading amount has been solved by a new method of functionalization of MOFs' pores with terminal alkyne moieties. The alkynophilicity of the Au(3+) ions has been utilized successfully for an exceptionally high loading (∼50 wt%) of Au-NPs on supported functionalized MOFs.
