In nuclear forensics, it is important to be able to analyze the fission products of a device to determine its origin and constitution. In order for this analysis to occur, standards of these fission products must be obtained. The goal of this work is to synthesize porous metal organic framework (MOF) structures with an actinide metal center. These can be used in the production of nuclides. The synthesis and characterization of MOFs is presented. Methods to improve uranium containing MOF synthesis is discussed.
