Americium in a MOF

The unveiled states of americium.

The metabolism of americium in the rat.

The announcement of the discovery of element 95 was made in 1946 by Seaborg and his associates (1). Like neptunium (element 93), plutonium (element 94), and curium (element 96) this new element, americium, is radioactive and has not been observed in nature in appreciable amounts. During the war an extensive study was made of the metabolic properties of plutonium (2) and several other heavy elem...

A MOF-Based Metamodeling Environment

The Meta Object Facility (MOF) forms one of the core standards of the Object Management Group’s Model Driven Architecture. It has several use-cases, including as a repository service for storing abstract models used in distributed objectoriented software development, a development environment for generating CORBA IDL, and a metamodeling language for the rapid specification, construction, and ma...

W2000 as a MOF Metamodel

Web applications are becoming more and more complex and sophisticated. The increasing complexity, and the many different aspects that should be modeled at the same time, require that supporting notations be wide enough, to let designers specify all required aspects, and flexible enough to cope with the different degrees of sophistication and evolving situations. W2000, the last heir of HDM, sat...

Utilizing a copper MOF as a reagent in a solvent mediated reaction to form a topologically distinct MOF.

Employing a semi-rigid di-1,2,4-triazole ligand leads to the formation of new MOFs [Cu(4)(L)(4)(SO(4))(4)]·4[Cu(H(2)O)(6)(SO(4))] (3) and [Cu(6)(L)(3)(SO(4))(5)(OH)(2)(H(2)O)(6)]·13H(2)O (4). The frameworks can be synthesized independently, but a reaction occurs in water wherein kinetic product 3 is used as a reagent to synthesize the topologically distinct thermodynamic product 4.
