Tailored novel phosphonate-based hybrid materials by design for diverse applications

Abstract

Hybrid materials are composed of an organic and an inorganic part, placed together in such a way that the final product has defined structures and properties. Among the plethora of hybrid materials, coordination polymers combine an organic linker and a metal site, thus creating 1D, 2D, and 3D architectures. A class of coordination polymers based on metal phosphonates utilize (poly)phosphonic acids as linkers. In this presentation, the following concepts will be discussed: (a) Synthetic efforts and factors that influence reaction paths (b) Physicochemical characterization (c) Structural chemistry (d) Framework interconversions (e) Applications in proton conductivity (f) Applications in pharmaceutical sciences (g) Applications in archaeology and cultural heritage
