Metal Organic Framework Conference (Singapore)
15-19 July 2024, Suntec City Convention Center
About The Event
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid crystal covalent structures created by reacting organic molecules with metal ions. Not only are they more durable than organic crystals, but because of their nano-scale interconnected voids, they have unrivaled potential for trapping, storing, and catalyzing ions and molecules. Thanks to these abilities, MOFs can add significant value in several applications, including gas storage and separation, liquid separation and purification, electrochemical energy storage, catalysis, or drug delivery. Characterizing MOFs is key towards optimising their function and capabilities. Here is how Malvern Panalytical can support your MOF characterisation: MOFs’ crystal structures give them their collection abilities. And, by tailoring the MOF’s constituent molecules and how it is synthesized, you can optimize the size, connectivity, and binding affinity of the crystals’ voids to attract specific molecules or ions. To do this, you need a strong understanding of how the crystalline lattice structure interacts with other molecular and ionic species, and how variations in the host environment affect this structure. Understanding particle size and morphology is also important: optimizing these characteristics can maximize your MOF’s performance. Specifically, the particles’ total surface area determines how effectively gas or liquid can flow through and how quickly the MOF can trap or release molecules or ions. For the best end-product, MOF particles must remain a constant size, intact, and not agglomerated, and the powder’s flow and packing must be controlled. Next to this, monitoring the elemental concentration of a MOF’s carrier liquid can help ensure that the MOF harvests and releases ions effectively. Finally, when MOFs are formulated in synthetic nanoparticle form, the surfaces of these synthetic nanoparticles can be modified. This enables the nanoparticles to access cells and therefore to carry a wide range of active and targeted pharmaceutical drugs. Understanding the nanoparticles’ hydrodynamic behavior is essential for success with this kind of MOF application.

Free workshop (19 July at NTU): Powders characterisation workshop in conjunction with Nanyang Technological University's Singapore Center for 3D Printing and A*STAR. Gain further insights to your powders through various analytical assays from particle size analysis using laser diffraction to structural and phase quantification using X-ray diffraction. This workshop is free to attend. Our guest speakers will introduce the importance of powder characterisation with real-world case studies on how to apply orthogonal methodologies to gain further insight to your powders' properties. During this workshop, we focus on the practicalities from improved data collection, analysis and understanding the implications of your data. More information
Our complete analytical range to support your MOF analysis
X-ray diffraction (XRD) enables you to measure and verify your MOF’s crystal structure – and our Empyrean and Aeris X-ray diffractometers provide the highest-quality powder diffraction data. Aeris can obtain scans in just five minutes, and both instruments provide excellent resolution and sensitivity for the finest details. Additionally, the ultra-sensitive microcalorimetry of our MicroCal PEAQ-ITC provides direct measurements of your structure’s binding affinity, stoichiometry, enthalpy, and entropy.
For particle sizing, our Mastersizer laser diffraction particle sizer is the solution – and its versatility means you can create the best setup for consistent results. When it comes to particle morphology, Morphologi 4 can generate a full set of size and shape results for up to 500,000 particles in just 30 minutes. And, with Morphologi 4-ID, you can return to any individual particle for more detailed analysis, such as Raman spectroscopy.
When it comes to analyzing MOF nanoparticles in solution, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Electrophoretic Light Scattering (ELS) are ideal for measuring particle size and analyzing particle drift for Zeta potential, respectively. Our Zetasizer Advance range supports both techniques, and the Nanosight Pro complements these measurements with real-time imaging of particle movement, including tracking analysis for both sizing and concentration.
In addition, our X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instruments, such as Epsilon and Zetium, can help you avoid impurities and track species uptake or expulsion by analyzing the chemical composition of your MOF sample or its carrier solution. Or, with our sample preparation equipment, you can also make solutions for ICP chemical analysis.
