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

TL;DR: A 3D porous metal-organic framework and method of making are described in this article, which is based on a trinodal (3,3,4) net of zyg topology by self-assembly of the nonlinear hexacarboxylate (BHB) with the paddle-wheel Cu 2 (COO) 4 cluster.

TL;DR: Time-resolved operando spectroscopy measurements indicate that the activity of the catalyst is associated with atomically dispersed, positively charged ionic Cu species, which makes this interesting for application in catalytic converters for cars, and for CO removal via selective oxidation of CO in H2-rich feed gases, where it shows an excellent selectivity of about 100% for CO oxidation.

TL;DR: This cage represents the first example of a new class of closed-face metallosupramolecular cubic hosts to be synthesized and has the potential to create new chemical functionality through the introduction of different metal ions into the centers of the N4 macrocycle and by substituting these metals axial ligands.

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.
