The present invention relates to cerium oxide particles that have excellent heat resistance under hydrothermal conditions at high temperature. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing such cerium oxide particles and to a catalytic composition comprising said cerium oxide.

This invention relates to a Cu-BTC MOF which is water stable. The Cu-BTC MOF has been modified by substituting some of the BTC ligand (1,3,5, benzene tricarboxylic acid) with 5-aminoisophthalic acid (AIA). The resultant MOF retains at least 40% of its as synthesized surface area after exposure to liquid water at 60° C. for 6 hours. This is an unexpected result versus the MOF containing only the BTC ligand. This MOF can be used to abate contaminants such as ammonia in gas streams and especially air streams.
