The targeted design and simulation of a new family zeolitic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on benzenedicarboxylate (BDC) as the ligand epsilon-type Keggin polyoxometalates (POMs) building units, named here Z-POMOFs, have been performed.

Computer simulations show that iron substitution at the octahedral centres of porphyrin-based metal–organic frameworks leads to optimal band structures for photocatalysis.
Abstract We report a new family of titanium–organic frameworks that enlarges the limited number crystalline, porous materials available for this metal. They are chemically robust and can be prepared as single crystals at multi‐gram scale from multiple precursors. Their heterometallic structure enables engineering their photoactivity by metal doping rather than linker functionalization. Compared to other methodologies based on post‐synthetic metallation MOFs, our approach is well‐fitted...
