Multiple functional groups in UiO 66 improve chemical warfare agent simulant degradation.
A library of 26 mixed ligand UiO 66 analogs was synthesized, characterized, and screened for catalytic degradation of the chemical warfare agent (CWA) simulant dimethyl 4 nitrophenylphosphate (DMNP) The MOFs were screened and compared to physical mixtures of the same single component MOFs. Several of the MOFs display higher catalytic activity than the parent UiO 66 and other single ligand UiO 66 analogues.
