Thin films of the highly flexible, luminescent, three dimensional metal organic framework (MOF), [Zn2(bpdc)2(bpee)] ? 2DMF (bpdc = 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylate; bpee = 1,2-bipyridylethylene) were prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) followed by a solvothermal treatment. The MOF film was then functionalized with AgNO3 that binds to the bpee linkers. The Ag functionalized MOF in its activated form exhibits improved N2 uptake indicating the framework is more open. The reversible binding of ethylene by the Ag functionalized MOF was monitored by Fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy. These findings hold promise for this MOF to be utilized for olefin/paraffin separations.
