Abstract:
As a prominent member of the metal-organic frameworks family and a focal point in nanocarrier research, MIL-100(Fe) offers significant potential for enhancing derivative products through performance improvements achieved via optimized hydrothermal synthesis methods. This study addresses the selection of synthesis parameters-a topic long overlooked in hydrothermal methodologies-by systematically exploring the impact of various synthesis factors on the structure and performance of MIL-100(Fe). Single-factor experiments revealed that increasing the molar ratio of Fe3+to BTC from 0.67 to 0.8 resulted in increases of over 60% and 170% in the specific surface areaSBETand pore volume (Vp) of MIL-100(Fe), respectively. While maintaining other conditions constant, the effects of the Fe/HF ratio, Fe/HNO3ratio, hydrothermal temperature, and activation temperature on the nanoparticle size, median diameter (D50),SBET, pore volume, and average pore diameter of MIL-100(Fe) were examined. The results indicate that MIL-100(Fe) exhibits optimal performance with a composition ratio of Fe:BTC:HF: HNO3= 1:0.8:3:0.6, a hydrothermal reaction temperature of 175 °C, and an activation temperature of 160 °C.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
