TL;DR: A variable temperature (5-300 K) single crystal Laue neutron diffraction study has been conducted, and the gas absorption sites within hydrogen-loaded Zn(4)O(1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) have been located.

TL;DR: The Schlemper structure was first observed in Z as mentioned in this paper, where the [V,O,,]lzcage B encapsulates a water molecule and all 18 of its square faces are occupied by V=O groups.

TL;DR: A homogeneous synthetic route for imine covalent organic frameworks (COFs) where crystallites emerge from clear solutions without forming amorphous polyimine precipitates is reported, which enabled the control of nucleation and crystal growth leading to uniform nanocrystals, through microwave-assisted reactions, and facile preparation of oriented thin films.

TL;DR: In this article, the dominant nuclear spin-lattice relaxation (T1) mechanism for ZIF-8 in air arises from atmospheric paramagnetic molecular oxygen, which interacts primarily with the imidazolate ring rather than the methyl substituent.

TL;DR: A new porous, two-dimensional imine-linked COF with a voided square grid topology, termed COF-432, which meets the requirements desired for water harvesting from air in that it exhibits an 'S'-shaped water sorption isotherm with a steep pore-filling step at low relative humidity and without hysteretic behavior.
