Coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks - preparation and properties : bachelor thesis

Koordinacijski polimeri i metalnoorganske mreţe su noviji materijali koji su se počeli razvijati krajem dvadesetog stoljeća. Temelje se na povezivanju iona metala s organskim ligandima. Razvoj istraţivanja koordinacijskih polimera je pojačan zbog razvoja dvaju srodnih područja: kristalnog inţenjerstva i supramolekulske kemije. Cilj ovog rada je objasniti što su metalnoorganske mreţe i koordinacijski polimeri, te objasniti njihove strukture, razlike izmeĎu 1D, 2D i 3D struktura i topologiju metalnoorganskih mreţa i koordinacijskih polimera. TakoĎer je cilj ovog rada opisati različite metode sinteze i razna svojstva koja posjeduju koordinacijski polimeri i metalnoorganske mreţe kao i primjenu tih svojstava.Coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks are newer type of materials that are based on connecting metal ions with corresponding organic ligands. Their continuous development began at the end of the 20 th century. Development in study of coordination polymers is reinforced by two related areas: crystal engineering and supramolecular chemistry. The goal of this thesis is to explain what are coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks, explain their structure, differences between 1D, 2D and 3D structures and to explain topology of metal- organic frameworks and coordination polymers. Furthermore, the goal is to describe different methods of synthesis and various properties of coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks and to explain possible applications of those properties
