Herein, we have designed a new Co(II)-based MOF, {[Co(1,4-NDC)(4,4′-BPY)(H2O)2].H2O}∞ (Co-NDC-BPY) by using mixed ligands 1,4-napthalenedicarboxylic acid (1,4-NDC) and 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-BPY). Interestingly, the MOF can selectively and discriminatively detect S2- and HSO4- from purely aqueous med...

A Zn(II)-based two-dimensional (2D) pillar bilayer metal-organic framework (MOF) [{Zn(aip)(4,4′-bpy)0.5(MeOH)}⋅(H2O)]n (1), (H2aip=5-aminoisophthalic acid and 4,4′-bpy=4, 4′-bipyridine) has been designed and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) technique. Compound 1...

2D ordered Si-based pillars were fabricated by nanosphere lithography. Polystyrene nanosphere monolayer was deposited onto the silicon substrate by the self-organization technique, which was used as mask in the following RIE process. The polystyrene nanospheres were thinned by oxygen plasma, and thu...
