A historical overview of the activation and porosity of metal–organic frameworks

Abstract: Since the first reports of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), this unique class of crystalline, porous materials has garnered increasing attention in a wide variety of applications such as gas storage and separation, catalysis, enzyme immobilization, drug delivery, water capture, and sensing. A fundamental feature of MOFs is their porosity which provides space on the micro- and meso-scale for confining and exposing their functionalities. Therefore, designing MOFs with high porosity and developing suitable activation methods for preserving and accessing their pore space have been a common theme in MOF research. Reticular chemistry allows for the facile design of MOFs from highly tunable metal nodes and organic linkers in order to realize different pore structures, topologies, and functionalities. With the hope of shedding light on future research endeavors in MOF porosity, it is worthwhile to examine the development of MOFs, with an emphasis on their porosity and how to properly access their pore space. In this review, we will provide an overview of the historic evolution of porosity and activation of MOFs, followed by a synopsis of the strategies to design and preserve permanent porosity in MOFs.

I and i

Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine

Abstract: The 11th edition of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine welcomes Anthony Fauci to its editorial staff, in addition to more than 85 new contributors. While the organization of the book is similar to previous editions, major emphasis has been placed on disorders that affect multiple organ systems. Important advances in genetics, immunology, and oncology are emphasized. Many chapters of the book have been rewritten and describe major advances in internal medicine. Subjects that received only a paragraph or two of attention in previous editions are now covered in entire chapters. Among the chapters that have been extensively revised are the chapters on infections in the compromised host, on skin rashes in infections, on many of the viral infections, including cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus, on sexually transmitted diseases, on diabetes mellitus, on disorders of bone and mineral metabolism, and on lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly. The major revisions in these chapters and many
