Journal ArticleDOI
Best Practices for the Synthesis, Activation, and Characterization of Metal–Organic Frameworks
Ashlee J. Howarth,Aaron W. Peters,Nicolaas A. Vermeulen,Timothy C. Wang,Joseph T. Hupp,Omar K. Farha,Omar K. Farha +6 more
TL;DR: An overview of the current best practices associated with the synthesis, activation, and characterization of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be found in this article, where a variety of different MOFs are presented to aid in the discussion of relevant techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
A hafnium-based metal-organic framework as an efficient and multifunctional catalyst for facile CO2 fixation and regioselective and enantioretentive epoxide activation.
M. Hassan Beyzavi,Rachel C. Klet,Samat Tussupbayev,Joshua Borycz,Nicolaas A. Vermeulen,Christopher J. Cramer,J. Fraser Stoddart,Joseph T. Hupp,Omar K. Farha,Omar K. Farha +9 more
TL;DR: A new Hf-based metal-organic framework (Hf-NU-1000) incorporating Hf6 clusters is reported, demonstrating high catalytic efficiency for the activation of epoxides and facilitating the quantitative chemical fixation of CO2 into five-membered cyclic carbonates under ambient conditions, rendering this material an excellent catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI
An artificial molecular pump
Chuyang Cheng,Paul R. McGonigal,Severin T. Schneebeli,Hao Li,Nicolaas A. Vermeulen,Chenfeng Ke,J. Fraser Stoddart +6 more
TL;DR: This work reports a wholly artificial compound that acts on small molecules to create a gradient in their local concentration by using redox energy and precisely organized noncovalent bonding interactions to pump positively charged rings from solution and ensnare them around an oligomethylene chain, as part of a kinetically trapped entanglement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrahigh Surface Area Zirconium MOFs and Insights into the Applicability of the BET Theory
Timothy C. Wang,Wojciech Bury,Diego A. Gómez-Gualdrón,Nicolaas A. Vermeulen,Joseph E. Mondloch,Pravas Deria,Kainan Zhang,Peyman Z. Moghadam,Amy A. Sarjeant,Randall Q. Snurr,J. Fraser Stoddart,Joseph T. Hupp,Omar K. Farha +12 more
TL;DR: Critical for practical applications, NU-1103 combines for the first time ultrahigh surface area and water stability, where this material retained complete structural integrity after soaking in water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bottom-up construction of a superstructure in a porous uranium-organic crystal
Peng Li,Nicolaas A. Vermeulen,Christos D. Malliakas,Diego A. Gómez-Gualdrón,Ashlee J. Howarth,B. Layla Mehdi,Alice Dohnalkova,Nigel D. Browning,Nigel D. Browning,Michael O'Keeffe,Omar K. Farha,Omar K. Farha +11 more
TL;DR: A structurally complex, mesoporous uranium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) made from simple starting components that is anchored by oxygen-coordinated uranium cations and has been reported as the lowest-density MOF reported to date.
