<br/>Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous solids consisting of inorganic building units (metal ions or clusters) and organic linkers. The resulting materials are highly porous, meaning they contain cavities with high surface areas. The combination of careful selection of starting materials and control of the synthetic conditions results in the ability to control the pore size, shape, and connectivity for specific characteristics or properties. Using solvothermal methods, we have sought the ideal conditions to produce MOFs that contain a small hydrazide-containing molecule as the organic linker. The crystalline products are characterized by the following techniques to determine composition and structure: IR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and microscopy (with energy-dispersive spectroscopy). The synthetic challenges to incorporate these hydrazide-containing molecules into the framework and the results of the characterization methods will be presented and discussed.
