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

A Mesh‐Adjustable Molecular Sieve for General Use in Gas Separation
TL;DR: The design, synthesis, and application of a novel mesh-adjustable molecular sieve (MAMS-1) that possesses an infinite number of mesh sizes is reported, which in principle, by precise temperature control, any two gases with a size difference can be separated by a MAMS.

Gas permeability properties of Matrimid® membranes containing the metal-organic framework Cu–BPY–HFS
TL;DR: In this article, a microporous metal-organic framework with a surface area of 2000 m2/g was combined with Matrimid® polymer to form free standing films, and the permeability properties of the framework were tested for the pure gases H2, N2, O2, CH4, and CO2 and the gas mixtures CO2/CH4, H2/CO2 and CH4/N2.

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.
