TLDR
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.Abstract:
The long-standing challenge of designing and constructing new crystalline solid-state materials from molecular building blocks is just beginning to be addressed with success. A conceptual approach that requires the use of secondary building units to direct the assembly of ordered frameworks epitomizes this process: we call this approach reticular synthesis. This chemistry has yielded materials designed to have predetermined structures, compositions and properties. In particular, 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.read more

High gas adsorption in a microporous metal-organic framework with open-metal sites
TL;DR: In this paper, a hydrogen storage system using a metal-organic framework is described, where each metal cluster includes one or more metal ions and at least one open metal site, and the metal clusters are connected by charged multidentate linking ligands connecting adjacent metal clusters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that simply reacting Zn(NO3)2·6H2O with an excess of 2methylimidazole in methanol at room temperature yields well-shaped nanocrystals of ZIF-8 with a narrow size distribution.

Different Adsorption Behaviors of Methane and Carbon Dioxide in the Isotypic Nanoporous Metal Terephthalates MIL-53 and MIL-47
Sandrine Bourrelly,Philip L. Llewellyn,Christian Serre,Franck Millange,Thierry Loiseau,Gérard Férey +5 more
TL;DR: A distinct step in the isotherm occurs during the adsorption of CO2 on MIL-53 at 304 K and it is suggested that a breathing behavior is induced in MIL- 53 during CO2 adsorptive activity.

TL;DR: Metal-organic framework (MOF-5), a prototype of a new class of porous materials and one that is constructed from octahedral Zn-O-C clusters and benzene links, was used to demonstrate that its three-dimensional porous system can be functionalized with the organic groups and can be expanded with the long molecular struts biphenyl, tetrahydropyrene, pyrene, and terphenyl.
