Journal ArticleDOI

Reticular synthesis and the design of new materials

TL;DR: This work has shown that highly porous frameworks held together by strong metal–oxygen–carbon bonds and with exceptionally large surface area and capacity for gas storage have been prepared and their pore metrics systematically varied and functionalized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective gas adsorption and separation in metal–organic frameworks

TL;DR: This critical review starts with a brief introduction to gas separation and purification based on selective adsorption, followed by a review of gas selective adsorbents in rigid and flexible MOFs, and primary relationships between adsorptive properties and framework features are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metal-organic frameworks

TL;DR: A range of novel structures has been prepared which feature amongst the largest pores known for crystalline compounds, very high sorption capacities and complex sorption behaviour not seen in aluminosilicate zeolites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineering coordination polymers towards applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the development in the field of coordination polymers or metal-organic coordination networks, MOCNs (metal-organic frameworks, MOFs) is assessed in terms of property investigations in the areas of catalysis, chirality, conductivity, luminescence, magnetism, spin-transition (spin-crossover), nonlinear optics (NLO) and porosity or zeolitic behavior upon which potential applications could be based.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enantioselective catalysis with homochiral metal–organic frameworks

TL;DR: Although still in their infancy, homochiral MOFs have clearly demonstrated their utility in heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis, and a bright future is foreseen for the development of practically useful homochirl MOFs in the production of optically pure organic molecules.

Supramolecular Chemistry: Concepts and Perspectives

TL;DR: From molecular to supramolescular chemistry: concepts and language of supramolecular chemistry, molecular recognition, information, complementarity molecular receptors - design principles and more.

Supramolecular Synthons in Crystal Engineering—A New Organic Synthesis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that crystal engineering is a new organic synthesis, and that rather than being only nominally relevant to organic chemistry, this subject is well within the mainstream, being surprisingly similar to traditional organic synthesis in concept.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interpenetrating Nets: Ordered, Periodic Entanglement.

TL;DR: A detailed and systematic examination of many interpenetrating nets of this kind is made, and implications for crystal engineering are discussed.
