Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Porous calcium lactate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) comprise non-toxic metal ions—Ca(II) and non-toxic, renewable and cheap linkers—lactate and acetate. The MOFs are nontoxic and environmentally-benign, and can be used as degradable carriers.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A Ca 2+ -based metal-organic framework (MOF) composition comprising chelating L-lactate and acetate, the MOF of formula: [Ca 14 (L-lactate) (16-24) (Acetate) (12-4) ] or [Ca 6 (L-lactate) (2-4) (acetate) (10-8) ], wherein the lactate and acetate sum to 28 and 12, respectively. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MOF is of formula: [Ca 14 (L-lactate) (16-24) (acetate) (12-4) ], wherein the lactate and acetate sum to 28. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MOF is of formula: [Ca 14 (L-lactate) (18) (acetate) (10) ]. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MOF is of formula: [Ca 14 (L-lactate) (21) (acetate) (7) ]. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MOF is of formula: [Ca 6 (L-lactate) (2-4) (acetate) (10-8) ], wherein the lactate and acetate sum to 12. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MOF is of formula: [Ca 6 (L-lactate) (4) (acetate) (8) ]. 7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MOF is of formula: [Ca 6 (L-lactate) (2.5) (acetate) (9.5) ]. 8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MOF is of formula: [Ca 14 (L-lactate) (20) (acetate) (8) ]. 9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the MOF is of formula: [Ca 6 (L-lactate) (3) (acetate) (9) ]. 10. The composition of claim 1 further comprising an agent encapsulated in the MOF, wherein the agent is a fumigant cis-1,3-dichloropropene. 11. The composition of claim 8 further comprising an agent encapsulated in the MOF, wherein the agent is a fumigant cis-1,3-dichloropropene. 12. The composition of claim 9 further comprising an agent encapsulated in the MOF, wherein the agent is a fumigant cis-1,3-dichloropropene. 13. The composition of claim 10 , wherein the MOF is of formula selected from: [Ca 14 (L-lactate) (18) (acetate) (10) ], [Ca 14 (L-lactate) (21) (acetate) (7) ], [Ca 6 (L-lactate) (4) (acetate) (8) ], [Ca 6 (L-lactate) (2.5) (acetate) (9.5) ], [Ca 14 (L-lactate) (20) (acetate) (8) ], and [Ca 6 (L-lactate) (3) (acetate) (9) ]. 14. The composition of claim 1 comprising a solid formulation of a volatile liquid fumigant cis-1,3-dichloropropene, wherein the fumigant is encapsulated in the MOF and the MOF is of formula: [Ca 14 (L-lactate) (20) (acetate) (8) ]. 15. The composition of claim 1 comprising a solid formulation of a volatile liquid fumigant cis-1,3-dichloropropene, wherein the fumigant is encapsulated in the MOF and the MOF is of formula: [Ca 6 (L-lactate) (3) (acetate) (9) ]. 16. A method of using the composition of claim 1 , the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing the composition in a non-toxic, biodegradable carrier, wherein the composition further comprises cis-1,3-dichloropropene encapsulated in the MOF, and (b) delivering the composition in the carrier by fumigation or spray. 17. A method of using the composition of claim 8 , the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing the composition in a non-toxic, biodegradable carrier, wherein the composition further comprises cis-1,3-dichloropropene encapsulated in the MOF, and (b) delivering the composition in the carrier by fumigation or spray. 18. A method of using the composition of claim 9 , the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing the composition in a non-toxic, biodegradable carrier, wherein the composition further comprises cis-1,3-dichloropropene encapsulated in the MOF, and (b) delivering the composition in the carrier by fumigation or spray.
