TL;DR: A strategy is presented that has enabled the synthesis and properties of a porous aromatic framework PAF-1, which has a Langmuir surface area of 7100 m g, and outperforms highly porous MOFs in thermal and hydrothermal stabilities.

TL;DR: A microporous metal-organic framework, PCN-14, based on an anthracene derivative, 5,5'-(9,10-anthracenediyl)di-isophthalate (H4adip), was synthesized under solvothermal reaction conditions and revealed that it consists of nanoscopic cages suitable for gas storage.

TL;DR: A series of isostructural metal-organic framework polymers of composition [Cu2(L)(H2O)2] (L= tetracarboxylate ligands), denoted NOTT-nnn, has been synthesized and characterized and it is suggested that introducing methyl groups or using kinked ligands to create smaller pores can enhance the isosteric heat of adsorption and improve H2 adsorptive capacity.

TL;DR: A series of idealized model systemswith various diboronic acid linker concentrations (and con-sequently different pore size, pore volume, and surface areas) were examined and structural optimization yielded a circa 1.1 nm interlayer separation for these ideal structures.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for carbon dioxide storage has been investigated in a typical pressure and vacuum swing process and the results showed that MOFs that possess coordinatively unsaturated metal centers offer as much as 9 mmol g−1 swing capacity under certain conditions.
