Doi: 10.1016/j.cattod.2021.11.004.

Abstract:
Porous Fe carboxylates are amongst the most promising MOF-based materials due to their low price, low toxicity, metal environments (including open metal sites) and remarkable (meso)porosity variety. Fe-MOFs based on the cluster [Fe3O(X)(solvent)(2)](6+), that is, MIL-101(Fe), MIL-100(Fe) and semiamorphous Fe-BTC, are of [read more]

Elucidating the structure of the W and Mn sites on the Mn-Na2WO4/SiO2 catalyst for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) at real reaction temperatures
