Synthesis and Characterization of Zirconium Metal Complexes Derived from Benzene-1, 4-dicarboxylic acid

Amongst organo-metallic frameworks (OMFs), the metallic framework having Zirconium metal indicate fascinating structural properties and excellent stability. Such organometallic frameworks (OMFs) function as a potential material for practical application. Even though these particular organo-metallic frameworks are in the early developmental stage but considerable advancements have been carried out recently. We studied the characterization of zirconium-based organo-metallic frameworks. We built Zr-based OMFs by four different synthetic ways. Initially, upgraded preparation under green and commercially feasible conditions has been carried out by modifying Zr-OMFs. Zirconium based OMFs having different structures are then classified and explained based on various organic ligands and zirconium-based secondary building units. We have synthesized the zirconium metal complexes; they have been characterized on the bases of FT-IR and CHNS analyzer. FT-IR results show binding of metal with the Benzene-1, 4-dicarboxylic acid [C6H4(COOH)(2)]. Zirconium metal can bind with the organic substances for the construction of a variety of complexes. From my research work, it is concluded that zirconium metal forms a polymeric complex with terephthalic acid. In which oxygen atoms of Terephthalic acid form bridging structure with the zirconium metal. Our study based on a particular type of OMF is likely expected to present guidance for in-depth exploration of OMFs towards practical applications. It is concluded that the metalorganic frameworks (MOFs) of zirconium metal have many applications in the field of chemistry, biology and other numerous fields of science.
