Ligineb
Ligineb is a hypothetical class of porous hybrid materials discussed in theoretical and speculative literature on energy storage and carbon capture. The name combines lignin-derived organic linkers with inorganic metal nodes, yielding a covalently bound network that is intended to resemble metal-organic frameworks but with distinctive linker chemistry and potential for enhanced stability.
Conceptually, ligineb frameworks are envisioned as three-dimensional lattices in which multidentate organic ligands derived from lignin
Synthesis concepts proposed for ligineb involve solvothermal or ionothermal methods using lignin-derived fragments as organic linkers,
Potential applications highlighted in speculative discourse include selective gas adsorption (notably CO2 capture), heterogeneous catalysis, and
