In this contribution, recent advances in the construction of MOF-polymer composites and their corresponding applications are briefly reviewed. The appearance such architectures is becoming prominent literature, due to fact that union these two dissimilar components can give rise a number desirable properties not necessarily achieved by individual components. For instance, while MOFs already boast unprecedented internal surface areas highly tunable pore structures, they often suffer from...

Large language models (LLMs) have gained widespread interest due to their ability process human and perform tasks on which they not been explicitly trained. This is relevant for the chemical sciences, face problem of small diverse datasets that are frequently in form text. LLMs shown promise addressing these issues increasingly being harnessed predict properties, optimize reactions, even design conduct experiments autonomously. However, we still only a very limited systematic understanding...

Transition-metal phosphides have received tremendous attention during the past few years because they are earth-abundant, cost-effective, and show outstanding catalytic performance in several electrochemically driven conversions including hydrogen evolution, oxygen water splitting. As one member of transition-metal phosphides, Cox P-based materials been widely explored as electrocatalyts; however, their application traditional thermal catalysis rarely reported. In this work, cobalt...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted much attention in the past decade owing to their unprecedented internal surface areas, tunable topologies, designable surfaces, and various potential applications. One bottleneck field regarding MOF synthesis is controlling metal-containing secondary building unit (SBU) incorporated into structure.

Functionalizing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with amines is a commonly used strategy to enhance their performance in CO2 capture applications. As such, this work, two-step covalently functionalize NH2-containing MOFs short chain polyamines was developed. In the first step, parent MOF, Zn4O(NH2-BDC)3, exposed bromoacetyl bromide (BrAcBr), which readily reacts pendant -NH2 groups on 2-amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (NH2-BDC2–) ligand. 1H NMR of digested MOF sample revealed that as much 90%...

The current generation of large language models (LLMs) has limited chemical knowledge. Recently, it been shown that these LLMs can learn and predict properties through fine-tuning. Using natural to train machine learning opens doors a wider audience, as field-specific featurization techniques be omitted. In this work, we explore the potential limitations approach. We studied performance fine-tuning three open-source (GPT-J-6B, Llama-3.1-8B, Mistral-7B) for range different questions....
