TL;DR: A crystal engineering or reticular chemistry strategy that controls pore functionality and size in a series of MOMs with coordinately saturated metal centres and periodically arrayed hexafluorosilicate anions enables a ‘sweet spot’ of kinetics and thermodynamics that offers high volumetric uptake at low CO2 partial pressure (less than 0.15 bar).

TL;DR: This work demonstrates how two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with well-defined mesopore structures display the right combination of properties to serve as a scaffold for decorating coordination sites to create ideal adsorbents in environmental remediation.

TL;DR: An rht-type metal-organic framework prepared from M(2)(carboxylate)(4) (M = Cu, Co) paddlewheel clusters and a flexible C(3)-symmetric hexacarboxylates ligand with acylamide groups exhibits larger CO(2) uptake, an enhanced heat of adsorption, and higher selectivity toward CO(1)/N(2).

TL;DR: A specific network, the (3,24)-connected rht, was used as a blueprint to construct a metal-organic framework where the MBBs/SBBs augment the net.

TL;DR: This MOF demonstrates high catalytic activity for the chemical fixation of CO2 into cyclic carbonates at room temperature under 1 atm pressure.
