In this paper we describe how we build a MOF 2.0 editor as a plug-in for Fujaba. The new versions of UML and MOF offer new concepts for structural modeling. We will use these new concepts to generate metamodels for several domains in compliance with common standards like MOF 2.0, JMI, OCL. We figure out how our efforts can be used as a starting point to improve Fujaba with regard to UML 2.0. Fi...

Detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using weight-detectable quartz microbalance and silicon-based microcantilever sensors coated with crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF) thin films is described in this paper. The thin films of two MOFs were grown from COOH-terminated self-assembled monolayers onto the gold electrodes of sensor platforms. The MOF layers worked as the effective c...

The metal-organic frameworks (MOF) with low and medium specific surface areas (SSA) were shown to be able to adsorb hydrogen via bridged spillover at room temperature (RT) up to an amount of full coverage of hydrogen in the MOF. Anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering was employed to investigate the key relationship between the structures and storage properties of the involved materials. It was ...

The synthesis and physical properties of dioxole functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are reported. Combination of benzo[d][1,3]dioxole-4,7-dicarboxylic acid (dioxole-BDC) and Zn(II) under solvothermal conditions yields either an isoreticular metal-organic framework analog (IRMOF-1-dioxole) or a new MOF material (MOF-1-dioxole). With the addition of a co-ligand, namely 4,4'-bipyridine...

Synchrotron radiation (SR) IR microspectroscopy has enabled determination of the thermodynamics, kinetics, and molecular orientation of CO2 adsorbed in single microcrystals of a functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) under conditions relevant to carbon capture from flue gases. Single crystals of the small-pore MOF, Sc2 (BDC-NH2 )3 , (BDC-NH2 =2-amino-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate), with well-d...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are constructed by linking inorganic units with organic linkers to make extended networks. Though more than 20 000 MOF structures have been reported most of these are ordered and largely composed of a limited number of different kinds building units, and very few have multiple different building units (heterogeneous). Although heterogeneity and multiplicity is a ...

Superacids, defined as acids with a Hammett acidity function H0 ≤ -12, are useful materials, but a need exists for new, designable solid state systems. Here, we report superacidity in a sulfated metal-organic framework (MOF) obtained by treating the microcrystalline form of MOF-808 [MOF-808-P: Zr6O5(OH)3(BTC)2(HCOO)5(H2O)2, BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate] with aqueous sulfuric acid to genera...
