The problem with these MOFs was they were made of chromium, which was considered to be toxic to be used as a drug delivery vehicle. So another alternative was suggested, Fe-MIL-100 has been developed as a biocompatible drug carrier104.Trimesic acid (BTC or 1,3,5 benzene-tricarboxylic acid) is the organic linker. This cubic mesoporous iron(III)trimesate MIL-100(Fe)105 exhibit a low toxicity character106 raise exceptional interest as drug delivery and bio imaging systems 107. Apart from Cr and Fe, the MIL-100 contains other metals like Al 108, V 109, Mn114 and Sc110. And they exhibit somewhat high thermal stability (about 300℃) and a remarkable chemical resistance105. Apart from the most important Fe-MIL-100 there are other non-toxic iron (III) carboxylate MOFs such as MIL-53, MIL-88A, MIL-88Bt, MIL-89, MIL-101_NH2 which was synthesised in biologically and environmentally favorable aqueous or ethanolic medium143.
Synthesis of Fe-MIL-100 NanoMOFs …show more content…

The most advanced, facile, safe and environmentally friendly way for the preparation of Fe-MIL-100 nanoMOFs was by microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis, avoiding both nitric and hydrofluoric acid. It is prepared by dissolving Iron (III) chloride hexahydrate and trimestic acid in dilute water. And the reaction was heated to 130oC over 30s, and then maintained at this temperature for 5 min 30 s (1600 W). Then this mixture was cooled at room temperature and centrifuged at 10500rpm for 25 min. Then we obtain Fe-MIL-100 which is an orange colored
