Recent Advances in Polymeric Nanocomposites of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)

Crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs): synthesis, structure and function.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of hybrid network supramolecular solid materials comprised of organized organic linkers and metal cations. They can display enormously high surface areas with tunable pore size and functionality, and can be used as hosts for a range of guest molecules. Since their discovery, MOFs have experienced widespread exploration for their applications in gas st...

Recent advances on simulation and theory of hydrogen storage in metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks.

This critical review covers the application of computer simulations, including quantum calculations (ab initio and DFT), grand canonical Monte-Carlo simulations, and molecular dynamics simulations, to the burgeoning area of the hydrogen storage by metal-organic frameworks and covalent-organic frameworks. This review begins with an overview of the theoretical methods obtained from previous studi...

Mail-Order Metal−Organic Frameworks (MOFs): Designing Isoreticular MOF‐5 Analogues Comprising Commercially Available Organic Molecules

Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of porous materials, are of particular interest in gas storage and separation applications due largely to their high internal surface areas and tunable structures. MOF-5 is perhaps the archetypal MOF; in particular, many isoreticular analogues of MOF-5 have been synthesized, comprising alternative dicarboxylic acid ligands. In this contribution we introd...

Alkali earth metal (Ca, Sr, Ba) based thermostable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for proton conduction.

Three new alkaline earth metal based MOFs have been synthesized by using 4,4'-sulfobisbenzoic acid (SBBA) and alkaline earth metal salts M(NO(3))(2), M = Ca, Sr, Ba. These MOFs exhibit interesting structural diversity, variable chemical stability as well as proton conductivity.
