Abstract
Multicomponent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are built up from multiple ligands
that are geometrically distinct. These ligands occupy specific positions in the MOF lattice.
Installing different functionalities at precise locations in the framework is an important step
in making MOFs for specific applications. This can be achieved by designing functionalized
ligands for multicomponent MOFs. This study was, firstly, focused on design and synthesis
of new linkers. The study then covered preparation of a number of quaternary MOFs.
Furthermore, the study was focused on the physical and chemical properties of these MOFs,
such as their catalytic activity, gas adsorption and fluorescence behaviours.
