As the fastest growing class of materials in chemistry today, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become ideal candidates for storage of fuels (hydrogen and methane), capture of carbon dioxide, and catalysis applications as well as many other applications. To meet the increasing market demand accompanying this trend, Alfa Chemistry has recently launched a subsidiary website, which is specially designed for supplying MOF chemicals , COFs linkers , and MOF materials .   MOFs are made by linking inorganic and organic units by strong bonds through reticular synthesis. Due to the flexibility and variation of the constituents’ geometry, size, and functionality, there have been more than 20,000 different MOFs reported and studied since the discovery of the first MOF structure in the 1990s. And the number still grows daily.   “Up till now, MOFs with permanent porosity are more extensive in their variety and multiplicity than any other class of porous materials,” says a senior scienti...

Magnetic materials are of technological importance  because they are key components of motors, generators, and transformers.  On December 22, 2020, Alfa Chemistry Materials, known as a provider of wide ranges of materials and chemicals, announced to have upgraded its supply of magnetic materials . Now, magnetic ionic liquids, magnetic metal complexes, and organic radicals can be easily accessed at this company.     Magnetic materials are extensively  studied and used mainly for their magnetic properties. Their magnetic respons es are  largely determined by the magnetic dipole moment associated with the intrinsic angular momentum, or spin, of its electrons.   “In recent years, magnetic materials have been found to play a a major role in numerous fields, for example, power generation and transmission, electronic appliances, analogue and digital data storage  as well as medical appliances like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic therapy and dr...

The Karl Fischer method is an analytical method for the determination of moisture proposed by Karl Fischer in 1935. It is suitable for the determination of all kinds of substances: chemicals, oils, pharmaceuticals   and food , etc . At present, Karl Fischer titration has developed into a moisture analysis method widely used in the world.   In this article, we will discuss how the Karl Fischer moisture detection test   can be applied to complex samples.   I nsoluble samples In the moisture detection of some  samples, laboratory personnel may often encounter that some samples  are difficult to dissolve or have poor solubility, resulting in the inability to accurately measure the moisture content of the sample. Usually when encountering insoluble samples, researchers  can increase the solubility of the sample by adding a co-solvent, and further measure the water content in the sample.   How to select  a suitable co-solvent?   l  No sid...

In the realm of organic chemistry, one class of compounds has captured the scientific community's attention for decades - alkaloids. These naturally occurring compounds are known for their diverse chemical structures and profound biological activities. Many alkaloids have been discovered and studied extensively over the years, with more than 20,000 known alkaloids identified to date. Alkaloids possess significant medicinal, pharmaceutical, and ecological importance, making them a subject of extensive research by leading companies. In this article, we will delve into the intriguing world of alkaloids, exploring their sources, structures, and attractive medicinal value. What Are Alkaloids? Alkaloids represent a large and diverse group of organic compounds characterized by the presence of a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring. This structural feature gives them unique physical and chemical properties, enabling them to exert pharmacological effects on living organisms. As a result, a...
