Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues.

We are pleased to invite you to publish articles in this Special Issue.

Metal–organic coordination frameworks are a class of modern substances and materials that is unique in terms of their set of properties. Composite hybrid materials based on various polymers in combination with MOFs and COFs have already made it possible to solve serious urgent problems of science and technology. Research devoted to these materials, their synthesis, and their properties is in great demand and discussed in modern scientific journals. This issue is devoted to a wide range of pressing problems at the intersection of metal–organic and polymer chemistry. We especially invite manuscripts devoted to research in the field of drug delivery, various conductive properties of polymer compositions, pervaporation and membrane purification, and separation of complex mixtures, materials for batteries, and sorption and chromatographic techniques.

Recently, there has been an active search for new modifiers to create hybrid polymeric materials for various applications, in particular, membrane technology. One of the topical modifiers is metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which can significantly alter the characteristics of obtained mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). In this work, new holmium-based MOFs (Ho-MOFs) were synthesized for polyether block amide (PEBA) modification to develop novel MMMs with improved properties. The study of Ho-MOFs, polymers and membranes was carried out by methods of X-ray phase analysis, scanning electron and atomic force microscopies, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, dynamic and kinematic viscosity, static and dynamic light scattering, gel permeation chromatography, thermogravimetric analysis and contact angle measurements. Synthesized Ho-MOFs had different X-ray structures, particle forms and sizes depending on the ligand used. To study the effect of Ho-MOF modifier on membrane transport properties, PEBA/Ho-MOFs membrane retention capacity was evaluated in vacuum fourth-stage filtration for dye removal (Congo Red, Fuchsin, Glycine thymol blue, Methylene blue, Eriochrome Black T). Modified membranes demonstrated improved flux and rejection coefficients for dyes containing amino groups: Congo Red, Fuchsin (PEBA/Ho-1,3,5-H3btc membrane possessed optimal properties: 81% and 68% rejection coefficients for Congo Red and Fuchsin filtration, respectively, and 0.7 L/(m2s) flux).
