High-resolution synchrotron radiation x-ray powder diffraction (HR-XRPD) combined with Hf L3-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure allowed us to determine the structure of a Hf-UiO-66 metal-organic framework (MOF) showing that it is isoreticular to Zr-UiO-66MOF [Cavka et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 130, 13850 (2008).]. Thermal gravimetric measurements (coupled with mass spectroscopy) and temperature-dependent synchrotron radiation XRPD proved the high thermal stability of the Hf-UiO-66 MOF. The Langmuir surface area (849 m2/g) combined with the high stability of the UiO-66 framework and with the high neutron absorption cross section of Hf suggest that among all microporous crystalline materials the Hf-UiO-66 MOF possesses the physical and chemical requirements for the interim storage of radioactive waste in a much safer way than is currently available. The first results proving the synthesis of a MOF material with UiO-66 topology realized by a B-containing linker are also reported, allowing a further improvement of the neutron shielding power of this class of materials.

Abstract
High-resolution synchrotron radiation x-ray powder diffraction (HR-XRPD) combined with Hf L3-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure allowed us to determine the structure of a Hf-UiO-66 metal-organic framework (MOF) showing that it is isoreticular to Zr-UiO-66MOF [Cavka et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 130, 13850 (2008).]. Thermal gravimetric measurements (coupled with mass spectroscopy) and temperature-dependent synchrotron radiation XRPD proved the high thermal stability of the Hf-UiO-66 MOF. The Langmuir surface area (849 m2/g) combined with the high stability of the UiO-66 framework and with the high neutron absorption cross section of Hf suggest that among all microporous crystalline materials the Hf-UiO-66 MOF possesses the physical and chemical requirements for the interim storage of radioactive waste in a much safer way than is currently available. The first results proving the synthesis of a MOF material with UiO-66 topology realized by a B-containing linker are also reported, allowing a further improvement of the neutron shielding power of this class of materials.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
