TL;DR: A strategy to expand the pore aperture of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into a previously unattained size regime (>32 angstroms) is reported, as evidenced by their permanent porosity and high thermal stability (up to 300°C).

TL;DR: It is shown that metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can incorporate a large number of different functionalities on linking groups in a way that mixes the linker, rather than forming separate domains.

TL;DR: Investigation of a chromium-based metal–organic framework shows that the location of added TiO 2 inside specific mesopores strongly affects the ability of the material to catalyse photoreduction of CO 2, and facilitates photocatalytic CO 2 reduction.

TL;DR: This combined synthetic, characterization, and computational approach predicts the adsorptive properties of crystalline MTV-MOF systems and is a first step in resolving the more general problem of spatial disorder in other ordered materials, including mesoporous materials, functionalized polymers, and defect distributions within crystalline solids.

TL;DR: In this paper, a metal-organic framework (MOF) containing more than two kinds of metal ions mixed in one secondary building unit is described, where the synthesis often yields mixed MOF phases rather than a pure pha...
