Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical Environment Control and Enhanced Catalytic Performance of Platinum Nanoparticles Embedded in Nanocrystalline Metal-Organic Frameworks.

TL;DR: It is found that organic linkers with two functional groups, sulfonic acid and ammonium, play a critical role in product selectivity and activity in the gas-phase conversion of methylcyclopentane to acyclic isomer, olefins, cyclohexane, and benzene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Porous Crystalline Olefin-Linked Covalent Organic Frameworks

TL;DR: The first unsubstituted olefin-linked covalent organic framework, termed COF-701, was made by linking 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine and 4,4'-biphenyldicarbaldehyde through Aldol condensation.
Book

Introduction to Reticular Chemistry: Metal-Organic Frameworks and Covalent Organic Frameworks

TL;DR: Reticular chemistry has been applied to synthesize new classes of porous materials that are successfully used for myraid applications in areas such as gas separation, catalysis, energy, and electronics as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-Dimensional Metal-Catecholate Frameworks and Their Ultrahigh Proton Conductivity

TL;DR: The single crystal X-ray diffraction structure of the Fe-CAT-5 shows bound sulfate ligands with DMA guests residing in the pores as counterions, and thus ideally suited for proton conductivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioinspired Metal-Organic Framework Catalysts for Selective Methane Oxidation to Methanol.

TL;DR: The design and synthesis of metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts inspired by pMMO for selective methane oxidation to methanol are reported and combined spectroscopies and density functional theory calculations suggest bis(μ-oxo) dicopper species as probable active site of the catalysts.
