MIL-53(Al) (Materials of Institut Lavoisier-53, aluminum terephthalate, Al(OH)[O2C–C6H4–CO2) is one of the most widely studied flexible Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs). Constructed from corner-sharing AlO4(OH)2 octahedral chains cross-linked by 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (BDC) linkers, it forms 1D rhombic diamond-shaped pore channels known for their reversible structural transitions.
The critical features of the MIL-53(Al) are shown below: (1) Reversible "Breathing Effect": MIL-53(Al) transitions between a Large Pore (LP) form (open diamond channel, pore diameter ~ 8.5–12Å, unit cell volume ~ 1480Å^3) and a Narrow Pore (NP) form (contracted channel, pore diameter ~ 2.6–3.5Å, unit cell volume ~ 1000Å^3). This transition is triggered by guest molecule adsorption, temperature, or external mechanical pressure. (2) High Hydrothermal & Thermal Stability: Unlike many zinc- or copper-based MOFs (such as MOF-5 or HKUST-1), MIL-53(Al) resists moisture degradation and remains thermally stable up to ~ 450–500°C in air/inert environments. (3) Textural Properties: BET Surface Area: Typically 1100–1600 m2/g (depending on activation and synthesis route).
