Abstract:
Metal organic framework (MOF) represents a desirable material in our life because of array of nurturing features such as large surface area and porous structure. Herein, a newly synthesized Cu-MOF based on a novel Schiff base ligand (H2L), as a linker, was developed under ultrasonic condition. The newly synthesized Schiff base was characterized via various characterization tools including Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), mass and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The synthesized Cu-MOF structure was confirmed by many spectroscopic tools such as Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis). The FT-IR and UV-Vis spectra confirmed the binding of the carboxylate group of the synthesized Schiff base in monodentate manner to Cu(II) ion
