ZIF-8 is a zeolitic imidazole-based metal-organic framework with large cavities interconnected by narrow windows. Because the small size of windows, it allows in principle for molecular sieving gases such as H(2) and CH(4). However, unexpected adsorption molecules on suggests existence structural flexibility. flexibility explored this work combining different experimental techniques simulation. We show that structure modified gas uptake same way at very high pressure (i.e., 14,700 bar) due...
We report the generation and characterization of most complete collection metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) maintained updated, for first time, by Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC). To set up this subset, we asked question "what is a MOF?" implemented number "look-for-MOF" criteria embedded within bespoke Structural Database (CSD) Python API workflow to identify extract information on 69 666 MOF materials. The CSD subset updated regularly with subsequent additions CSD, bringing...
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have received attention for a myriad of potential applications including catalysis, gas storage, and separation. Coordinatively unsaturated metal ions often enable key functional behavior these materials. Most commonly, MOFs been metalated from the condensed phase (i.e., solution). Here we introduce new synthetic strategy capable metallating phase: atomic layer deposition (ALD). Key to enabling metalation by ALD In (AIM) was synthesis NU-1000, new, thermally...

The high storage capacities and excellent biocompatibilities of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have made them emerging candidates as drug-delivery vectors. Incorporation surface functionality is a route to enhanced properties, here we report on surface-modification procedure—click modulation—that controls their size chemistry. zirconium terephthalate MOF UiO-66 (1) synthesized ∼200 nm nanoparticles coated with functionalized modulators, (2) loaded cargo, (3) covalently modified...
Utilizing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a biological carrier can lower the amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) required in cancer treatments to provide more efficacious therapy. In this work, we have developed temperature treatment process for delaying release model drug compound from pores NU-1000 and NU-901, while taking care utilize these MOFs' large pore volume size achieve exceptional loading percentages over 35 wt %. Video-rate super-resolution microscopy reveals...
An efficient synthetic route to an A1/A2-difunctionalized pillar[5]arene containing resolvable planar chirality has been developed and the arene employed as a strut in synthesis of P5A-MOF-1, which demonstrated by X-ray powder diffraction analysis--supported modeling--to be isoreticular with MOF-5. This metal-organic framework active domain that expresses good selective uptake neutral positively charged electron-poor aromatic guests, effect color changes cubic crystals from faint yellow deep...
A uniform and crack-free metal–organic framework (MOF) thin film composed of free-standing acicular nanorods was grown on a transparent conducting glass substrate. The MOF exhibits electrochromic switching between yellow deep blue by means one-electron redox reaction at its pyrene-based linkers. rigid stabilizes the radical cations pyrene linkers positive applied potential, resulting in reversible color change film. regular channels allow ions to migrate through entire thus remarkable rapid rate.
We report a hafnium-containing MOF, hcp UiO-67(Hf), which is ligand-deficient layered analogue of the face-centered cubic fcu UiO-67(Hf). UiO-67 accommodates its lower ligand:metal ratio compared to through new structural mechanism: formation condensed "double cluster" (Hf12O8(OH)14), analogous condensation coordination polyhedra in oxide frameworks. In frameworks, variable stoichiometry can lead more complex defect structures, e.g., crystallographic shear planes or modules with differing...
Abstract Widespread access to greener energy is required in order mitigate the effects of climate change. A significant barrier cleaner natural gas usage lies safety/efficiency limitations storage technology. Despite highly porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) demonstrating record-breaking gas-storage capacities, their conventionally powdered morphology renders them non-viable. Traditional powder shaping utilising high pressure or chemical binders collapses porosity creates low-density...
