TLDR
In this paper, a review of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous coordination polymers (PCPs) with selected examples of their structures, concepts for linkers, syntheses, post-synthesis modifications, metal nanoparticle formations in MOFs, porosity and zeolitic behavior for applications in gas storage for hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and applications in conductivity, luminescence and catalysis.
Abstract
This review (over 380 references) summarizes metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), Materials Institute Lavoisier (MILs), iso-reticular metal–organic frameworks (IR-MOFs), porous coordination networks (PCNs), zeolitic metal–organic frameworks (ZMOFs) and porous coordination polymers (PCPs) with selected examples of their structures, concepts for linkers, syntheses, post-synthesis modifications, metal nanoparticle formations in MOFs, porosity and zeolitic behavior for applications in gas storage for hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and applications in conductivity, luminescence and catalysis.

Molecular Factors Controlling the Isomerization of Azobenzenes in the Cavity of a Flexible Coordination Cage

TL;DR: Molecular models are employed to reconstruct the mechanism of azobenzene switching inside the cage cavity and explore key molecular factors that may control this event, which may enable the rational design of photoswitchable systems whose reactivity can be controlled via host–guest interactions.
