HKUST-1 is a copper-based metal-organic framework also known as MOF-199 or CU-BTC. Its typical blue color will change according to the amount of adsorbed water molecules – the lighter the MOF the more water is adsorbed.

HKUST-1 is one of the most researched metal-organic framework.

Applications

  • Adsorption and storage of gases (carbon dioxid CO, nitrogen N2, oxygen O2, hydrogen H2)
  • Gas sensing and separation (e.g. CO2)
  • Catalysis
  • Ionic and electrical conductivity
  • Antifungal

Properties

Formula:             C18H6Cu3O12

Surface area:     1100 – 2200 m2/gr (BET)
