The ability to design and construct solid-state materials with pre-determined structures is a grand challenge in chemistry. An inventive strategy based on reticulating metal ions and organic carboxylate links into extended networks has been advanced to a point that has allowed the design of porous structures in which pore size and functionality can be varied systematically. MOF-5, a prototype of a new class of porous materials and one that is constructed from octahedral Zn—O—C clusters and benzene links, was used to demonstrate that its 3-D porous system can be functionalized with the organic groups, —Br, —NH2, —OC3H7, —OC5H11, —H4C2, and —H4C4, and its pore size expanded with the long molecular struts biphenyl, tetrahydropyrene, pyrene, and terphenyl. The ability to direct the formation of the octahedral clusters in the presence of a desired carboxylate link is an essential feature of this strategy, which resulted in the design of an isoreticular (having the same framework topology) series of sixteen well-defined materials whose crystals have open space representing up to 91.1% of the crystal volume, and homogeneous periodic pores that can be incrementally varied from 3.8 to 28.8 angstroms. Unlike the unpredictable nature of zeolite and other molecular sieve syntheses, the deliberate control exercised at the molecular level in the design of these crystals is expected to have tremendous implications on materials properties and future technologies. Indeed, data indicate that members of this series represent the first monocrystalline mesoporous organic / inorganic frameworks, and exhibit the highest capacity for methane storage (155 cm3 / cm3 at 36 atm) and the lowest densities (0.41 to 0.21 g / cm3) attained to date for any crystalline material at room temperature.

A method is disclosed for the formation of metal chelates which are able to remain stable in high alkaline environments when compared to metal chelates produced from a reaction with amino acids. The method involves the reaction of sugars, amino groups, and metal components for a sufficient period of time and temperature in a water solution. Additionally, the stability of metal chelates can be enhanced by oxidation of the sugars with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide which form an MRP which will react with the metal component to form a more stable metal chelate than if oxidation were not utilized.

The present application discloses the first rare-earth-free metal organic framework (MOF) yellow phosphors that can be effectively excited by blue light and assembled in a white light emission (WLED) device with a blue chip. The compounds of the present invention exhibit significantly enhanced emission intensity compared to the constituent ligand and high quantum yield and high thermal and moisture stability and photoluminescence. The invention also includes light emitting devices comprising any of these MOF yellow phosphors and methods of preparing these compounds and devices.
