Reticular synthesis and the design of new materials

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.

The Interaction of Water with MOF-5 Simulated by Molecular Dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, the force field parameters for metal-organic framework-5 (MOF-5 or IRMOF1) are presented, and the model is validated by comparing simulated lattice parameters of pure MOF5 with X-ray diffraction results.

In silico screening of carbon-capture materials

TL;DR: This analysis has screened hundreds of thousands of zeolite and zeolitic imidazolate framework structures and identified many different structures that have the potential to reduce the parasitic energy of CCS by 30-40% compared with near-term technologies.

Selective Nucleation and Growth of Metal−Organic Open Framework Thin Films on Patterned COOH/CF3-Terminated Self-Assembled Monolayers on Au(111)

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the selective growth of patterned thin films of MOF-5 and the subsequent loading with a palladium organic compound, which acts as a precursor for the deposition of palladium nanoclusters inside the cavities of the MOf-5 material.

Systematic Design of Pore Size and Functionality in Isoreticular MOFs and Their Application in Methane Storage

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.
