A newly designed nano metal-organic framework of yttrium-benzenetricarboxylic acid: synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial and electrochemical properties

In this work, a metal-organic framework based on yttrium and benzene tricarboxylic acid (Y-BTC-MOF) was synthesized via solvothermal synthesis. Y-BTC-MOF was characterized using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction pattern, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron micro­scopy and an elemental mapping image. Also, Y-BTC-MOF was applied for the modifi­cation of a screen printed electrode. The modified electrode was used for voltam­metric deter­mination of doxorubicin in the calibration range of 0.002 to 110.0 µM.
