Add-Ons
MIL-101(Al) (Al3O(X)(H2O)2(BDC)3, where X = OH-, Cl-, or F-; BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate}) is the aluminum-based, non-toxic analogue of the benchmark mesoporous MOF MIL-101(Cr). Featuring an augmented MTN zeolite topology, it is built from inorganic u3-oxo-centered aluminum trimers (Al3O) cross-linked by 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate linkers into rigid, ultra-large supertetrahedral cages.
For Gas Absorption & Separation, the key structural features of the MIL-101(Al) are: (1) Dual Mesoporous Cages: Small Mesoporous Cages: Internal diameter of ~ 29 Å with pentagonal window apertures of 12 Å. Large Mesoporous Cages: Internal diameter of 34 Å with hexagonal window apertures of ~ 16 Å. (2) Green & Biocompatible Composition: Replaces toxic chromium (Cr^{3+}/Cr^{6+}) and expensive zirconium precursors with earth-abundant, lightweight, non-toxic aluminum, eliminating hazardous waste footprints in large-scale carbon capture and medical adsorption. (3) Thermal & Hydrothermal Resilience: Strong ionic/covalent Al(III)–O coordination bonds yield thermal stability up to ~ 380–400°C in air/inert streams and robust resistance to moisture, organic solvents, and cyclic humidity.
