TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis and structure of an azobenzene functionalized isoreticular metal-organic framework (azo-IRMOF-74-III) [Mg2(C26H16O6N2)] are described and the ability to controllably release a guest from its pores in response to an external stimulus has been demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal nanocrystals embedded in single nanocrystals of MOFs give unusual selectivity as heterogeneous catalysts.

TL;DR: Rare examples of nMOFs grown in monocrystalline form around metal NCs are shown and these constructs are found to be active in gas-phase hydrogenative conversion of methylcyclopentane (MCP) and give unusual product selectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A metal-organic framework with a hierarchical system of pores and tetrahedral building blocks
TL;DR: The synthesis of MOF-500 is presented, a new metal–organic framework (MOF), to illustrate how a “one-pot” reaction can yield a crystalline solid with four distinct levels of complexity (defined by structural elements of increasing size, with distinct compositions, structures, and pores).
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneity within order in crystals of a porous metal-organic framework.
TL;DR: This work outlines a strategy for producing crystals of MOF-5 in which a system of meso- and macropores either permeates the whole crystal to make sponge-like crystals or is entirely enclosed by a thick crystalline microporous MOf-5 sheath to make pomegranate- like crystals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of frameworks with mixed triangular and octahedral building blocks exemplified by the structure of [Zn4O(TCA)2] having the pyrite topology.
TL;DR: It is pointed out that the FeS2 (pyrite) net found in [Zn4O(TCA)2]·(DMF)3(H2O)3 (hereafter MOF-150) is the most regular net (and the most likely to form) for linking together triangles and octahedra and that it has some additional net properties that lead to its classification as a default net.
