Abstract

We report the use of benign and green precursors, including waste chicken eggshells and PET (polyethyleneterephthalate) from recycled plastic bottles, for the facile synthesis of a variety of calcium-based metal-organic frameworks (Ca-MOFs), using water based and mechanochemical synthesis techniques.
