N-functionalized pyrazole mof scaffolds: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Nitrogen loss through rapid soil conversion increases fertilizer costs and environmental runoff. These specific heterocyclic chemical structures modulate microbial enzymatic activity to stabilize nitrogen availability.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in N-functionalized pyrazole mof scaffolds?

Excessive soil nitrogen loss

(14)evidences

Rapid microbial conversion of ammonium to nitrate leads to fertilizer runoff and atmospheric loss. Controlling this conversion rate prevents nutrient leaching and environmental degradation.

Nitrogen loss from urea volatilization

(7)evidences

Premature degradation of (thio)phosphoric acid triamides occurs when exposed to acidic phosphorus fertilizers or storage environments. Preventing this loss of active ingredient ensures prolonged enzymatic inhibition and nitrogen efficiency.

Nitrogen loss through volatilization

(6)evidences

Rapid conversion of ammonium to nitrate leads to environmental runoff and reduced fertilizer efficiency. Preventing this degradation ensures nutrients remain available in the soil for longer periods.
