Abstract:
Reactive inkjet printing was used for fast and facile spatially-controlled post-synthetic patterning of metal-organic framework films. Here, we report use of the reactive inkjet printing technique to rapidly produce patterned electroactive MOF films by covalent attachment of redox-responsive ferrocenyl groups to UiO-66-NH2 on FTO glass. This study paves the way for the wide applicability of reactive printing to MOF film modification.
