Modular and predictable assembly of porous organic molecular crystals

TL;DR: It is shown that highly porous crystalline solids can be produced by mixing different organic cage modules that self-assemble by means of chiral recognition and can in principle be generalized in a computationally predictable manner based on a lock-and-key assembly between modules.

Modular and predictable assembly of porous organic molecular crystals

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that highly porous crystalline solids can be produced by mixing different organic cage modules that self-assemble by means of chiral recognition, and the structures of the resulting materials can be predicted computationally, allowing in silico materials design strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Imaging defects and their evolution in a metal–organic framework at sub-unit-cell resolution

TL;DR: The real-space observation of structural defects in the catalytic MOF UiO-66 using a combination of low-dose transmission electron microscopy and electron crystallography is reported, enabling their distributions, evolutions during crystallization and effects on the material’s catalytic activity to be explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen bonds and van der waals forces in ice at ambient and high pressures.

TL;DR: The first principles methods, density-functional theory and quantum Monte Carlo, have been used to examine the balance between van der Waals (vdW) forces and hydrogen bonding in ambient and high-pressure phases of ice as discussed by the authors.
