General description

HKUST-1 is also known as MOF-199, Cu-BTC and Basolite(TM) C300. HKUST-1 is a blue cubic crystal of copper based ultramicroporous metal framework (MOF). It is prepared by solvothermal method. It could have a surface area of nearly 2200 m2/g2.
This product aligns with one or more of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry Find details here.
MOF (metal organic framework)
Basolite®C 300 is a metal organic framework (MOF). It is a crystallized hybrid porous solid built up from inorganic subunits, which are connected to organic linkers such as carboxylates or phosphonates. It is a commercialized sorbent that has the structure of HKUST-1.

Application

Used for gas adsorption (carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen gas), catalysis, and separations
Basolite®C 300 can be used in the adsorption of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and liquid absorption of dibenzothiopene.

Other Notes

can be reactivated at 200°C (vacuum)
