The synthesized nanostructures are  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">characterized by techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier-transform infrared  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">spectroscopy (FT-IR), and UV-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis). The pore size distribution and  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">adsorption capacity of the synthesized MOF were investigated experimentally by measuring the N2  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">adsorption isotherm at 77.3 K, and the resulting data were fitted to Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), de  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">Boer, Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR), Banet-Joyner-Halenda (BJH), Horvath-Kawazoe (HK), and also  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">applied to Density Functional Theory (DFT) models. Excitation of the Mn-MOF nanostructure resulted in  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">an emission at 400 nm. The DSC study reveals that this molecule has a good chemical stability. The FTIR  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">measurement shows a variety of functional groups that are highly coordinated. Moreover, the  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">adsorption properties evaluated by several adsorption models compared with current adsorbent  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">materials show Mn-MOF has superior thermal stability, a high surface area, and pore openings. Because  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">of these findings, Mn-MOF appears to be a viable material for storing gases and energy, whether at low  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">or high pressures. </span> </div>}, number={3}, publisher={Turkish Chemical Society}, organization={Tertiary Education Trust Fund, Nigeria.}
