3 Metal Organic Frameworks Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), also called hybrid porous crystallized solids, are coordination polymers with a hybrid inorganic-organic framework comprising metal ions and organic ligands coordinated to said metal ions. These materials are organized as mono-, bi- or tri-dimensional networks wherein the metal clusters are linked to each other by spacing ligands periodically. These materials have a crystalline structure and are generally porous. 2

6 Part 1: BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 5

7 Highly efficient hybrid solid functionalization with peptides for biosensor CONTEXT In order to be fully operative, biosensors such as peptides must be immobilized on solid support. Such immobilization is currently done by grafting said sensors on flat surface or in 3D gel. However, the result is not satisfying as said grafting comes out disordered and amorphous. The ability to position entities used for detection in an orderly manner inside cavities of a solid is clearly still a technological challenge that needs to be overcome. Doing so would highly increase biosensors efficiency and selectivity. Current methods There is definitely a demand for an improved grafting process which could lead to a better and faster peptides anchorage in cavities of solids. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION In the present work, the inventors have developed a very efficient and fast process to functionalize hybrid porous solids with oligopeptides on their external surface or inside their pores. Said process comprises an amide coupling step through the reaction of an oligopeptide on the surface of an amine containing solid in presence of a coupling agent. In particular, said porous solid used in the invention is a Metal Organic Framework (MOF). MOF are coordination polymers consisting of a hybrid inorganic-organic framework comprising metal ions and organic ligands coordinated to the said metal ions. DEVELOPMENT STAGE Said functionalization has been successfully assessed on a laboratory scale Functionalized solids have eventually been characterized The following MOF have been assessed so far: Al-MIL-101-NH2; Al-MIL-101-NH2; In-MIL-68-NH2; In-MIL-68-NH2 and Zr-UiO-66- NH2 Reference Keywords Biosensor; MOF; Metal Organic Framework; functionalization. Status of Patent French priority patent application FR filed on May 27, 2014 and entitled Méthode de greffage d'oligopeptides dans des matériaux hybrides poreux Inventors Jérôme CANIVET Jonathan BONNEFOY Elsje QUADRELLI David FARRUSSENG Commercial Status Exclusive or nonexclusive license Laboratory Institut de recherches sur la catalyse et l environnement de Lyon (IRECELYON, UMR5256), Lyon, France Chemistry, Catalysis, Polymers and Processes (C2P2, UMR5265), Lyon, France 6

8 BENEFITS Apart of being very fast and efficient, the current process allows higher loadings and densities of oligopeptide inside the cavities of the MOF than in the state of the art. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS Biosensor is clearly the main targeted application. However, one can cite the use of said functionalized solid for asymmetric catalysis, enantioselective separation. 7

10 Hydrocarbons separation In the present work, the research team has developed porous metal-organic frameworks for the separation of mixtures of molecules having different unsaturation degrees and / or a different number of unsaturations. One can cite olefin and paraffin mixtures. The separation of mixtures of compounds in the gaseous or liquid phase is a major industrial problem concerning, in particular, the chemical, petrochemical and/or pharmaceutical industrial sectors. Finding an absorbent making it possible to replace this expensive method while satisfying the required criteria (selectivity, diffusivity, regeneration...) would constitute a major advance in this field. Among the disadvantages of the processes already known, the following can be cited as examples: prohibitive implementation costs lack of selectivity of the separation materials insufficient diffusivity of the species to be separated in the separation materials problems of lixiviation with the existing separation materials Among compounds to be separated, there is a real need to develop systems making it possible to separate olefin/paraffin mixtures efficiently, as well as other mixtures of molecules having different unsaturation degrees and/or a different number of unsaturations. The present invention aims at answering each of this need. Development stage Separation of propane and propylene as well as acetylene and ethylene has been sucessfully demonstrated on a laboratory scale Pending patents Scope: metal-organic frameworks for separating hydrocarbons mixture Priority application: french patent application FR filed on June 11, 2008 and entitled «Solide hybride cristallin poreux réductible pour la séparation de mélanges de molécules ayant des degrés et / ou un nombre d insaturations différents» Extensions in Europe, Japan, Canada and USA.

11 MOF application: sulfur compounds separation from mixture of gases In the present work, the research team has developed porous metal-organic frameworks for the separation of sulfur compounds from mixture of gases. Sulfur compounds may be naturally present in natural gas or biogas. Absorption techniques are known to remove the major part of such sulfur compounds, with amine treatments for example. However such processes do not entirely remove such sulfur compounds or provide a gas substantially free of sulfur compounds, i.e. with residual concentrations below 50 ppm mol. There is a need for improved and/or alternative sulfur adsorbents and processes for capturing sulfur compounds, in particular adsorbents which may have a high sulfur selectivity, a strong chemical resistance to the corrosive sulfur gases and preferably, which may be regenerated without high energetic regeneration costs. The present invention aims at answering each of this need. Development stage Separation of hydrogen sulfide from methane has been successfully demonstrated on a laboratory scale.

13 MOF application: denox catalysis Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are coordination polymers with a hybrid inorganic-organic framework comprising metal ions and organic ligands coordinated to said metal ions. These materials are organized as mono-, bi- or tri-dimensional networks wherein the metal clusters are linked to each other by spacing ligands periodically. These materials have a crystalline structure and are generally porous. In the present work, the research team has developed porous metal-organic framework as a nitrogen-oxide denox catalyst. This constitutes a major advance in this area as it offers the enormous advantage of removing and converting NOx from a liquid or gaseous effluent even at room temperature and in the absence of reducing species. This overcomes all the problems and drawbacks of the prior art. The increased mobility throughout the world unfortunately has an impact on the environment and on health. The main pollutants emitted are oxides of carbon (CO and CO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), unburnt hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. This last term essentially comprises nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), together with smaller amounts of nitrous oxide (N20), dinitrogen trioxide (N203) and dinitrogen tetroxide (N204). Although much effort has been expended for removing these pollutants, using systems for reduction of NOx at the sources of emission (vehicles, smokestacks, etc.), increasing concentrations of nitrogen oxides are being recorded in cities. Various strategies have been adopted for tackling these problems, but to date, no technology is able to offer a proper response to this problem. The present invention aims at answering each of this problem. Development stage DeNox absorption and catalysis with invention s MOF have been successfully demonstrated on a laboratory scale.
