TL;DR: High I2 adsorption in a series of robust porous metal–organic materials, MFM-300(M) (M = Al, Sc, Fe, In), and an unprecedented self-aggregation of I2 molecules into triple-helical chains within the confined nanovoids has been observed at crystallographic resolution, leading to a highly efficient packing of I 2 molecules with an exceptional I2 storage density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unravelling exceptional acetylene and carbon dioxide adsorption within a tetra-amide functionalized metal-organic framework.
Florian Moreau,Ivan da Silva,Nada H. Al Smail,Timothy L. Easun,Mathew Savage,Harry G. W. Godfrey,Stewart F. Parker,Pascal Manuel,Sihai Yang,Martin Schröder +9 more
TL;DR: This study reveals that the combination of polyamide groups, open metal sites, appropriate pore geometry and cooperative binding between guest molecules is responsible for the high uptakes of acetylene and carbon dioxide in MFM-188a.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exceptional Adsorption and Binding of Sulfur Dioxide in a Robust Zirconium-Based Metal–Organic Framework
Joseph H. Carter,Xue Han,Florian Moreau,Ivan da Silva,Adam C. Nevin,Harry G. W. Godfrey,Chiu C. Tang,Sihai Yang,Martin Schröder +8 more
TL;DR: The binding domains for adsorbed SO2 and CO2 molecules in MFM-601 have been determined by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments, giving insights at the molecular level to the basis of the observed high selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Porous Metal–Organic Polyhedral Frameworks with Optimal Molecular Dynamics and Pore Geometry for Methane Storage
Yong Yan,Daniil I. Kolokolov,Daniil I. Kolokolov,Ivan da Silva,Alexander G. Stepanov,Alexander G. Stepanov,Alexander J. Blake,Dailly Anne M,Pascal Manuel,Chiu C. Tang,Sihai Yang,Martin Schröder,Martin Schröder +12 more
TL;DR: Solid-state 2H NMR spectroscopy and neutron diffraction studies reveal that it is the combination of optimal molecular dynamics, pore geometry and size, and favorable binding sites that leads to the exceptional and different methane uptakes in these materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ammonia Storage by Reversible Host-Guest Site Exchange in a Robust Metal-Organic Framework.
Harry G. W. Godfrey,Ivan da Silva,Lydia Briggs,Joseph H. Carter,Christopher G. Morris,Mathew Savage,Timothy L. Easun,Pascal Manuel,Claire A. Murray,Chiu C. Tang,Mark D. Frogley,Gianfelice Cinque,Sihai Yang,Martin Schröder +13 more
TL;DR: In situ neutron powder diffraction and synchrotron FTIR micro‐spectroscopy on ND3@MFM‐300(Al) confirms reversible H/D site exchange between the adsorbent and adsorbate, representing a new type of adsorption interaction.
