IRAN Journal Article 2019 12 18 <em>In this research, various types of MOFs with different metal nodes such as iron, chromium, vanadium, and strontium were synthesized using benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid as an organic linker through a hydrothermal crystallization method. In continuation, the effect of pH, temperature, and reaction time on the properties of obtained MOFs have been studied. The synthesized nanocrystalline MOFs were systemically characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM),  and Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Therefore, synthesized catalysts were successfully carried out in the esterification reaction of oleic acid with methanol for the production of biodiesel. In addition, the operating conditions such as temperature and time of reaction, the molar ratio of methanol to oleic acid, and the amount of catalyst were studied. It was found among the prepared catalysts MIL-100(Fe) is the most appropriate catalyst for the esterification reaction of oleic acid with a yield of 78.8% upon the optimum operating conditions. The catalytic activity of catalysts decreased in this order: Sr-BTC (52%), Cr-BTC (44%), and V-BTC (42%).</em> <em>In this research, various types of MOFs with different metal nodes such as iron, chromium, vanadium, and strontium were synthesized using benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid as an organic linker through a hydrothermal crystallization method.
