The high gravimetric energy density and environmental benefits place hydrogen as a
promising alternative to the widely used fossil fuels, which is however impeded by the lack of …

Ordered pore engineering that embeds uniform pores with periodic alignment in
electrocatalysts opens up a new avenue for achieving further performance promotion …

Gas storage and separation are closely associated with the alleviation of greenhouse effect,
the widespread use of clean energy, the control of toxic gases, and various other aspects in …

When designing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), linker design is one of the most
important factors in constructing a wide variety of structures. Judicious choice of linker size …

Background Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are made by linking inorganic and organic
units by strong bonds (reticular synthesis). The flexibility with which the constituents' …

A major goal of metal–organic framework (MOF) research is the expansion of pore size and
volume. Although many approaches have been attempted to increase the pore size of MOF …

This review deals with key methods of synthesis and characterization of metal-organic
frameworks (MOFs). The modular structure affords a wide variety of MOFs with different …

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have recently emerged as a new generation of porous
polymers combining molecular functionality with the robustness and structural definition of …

In 1893, Alfred Werner described the structure of octahedral transition metal complexes and
provided the basis for assigning coordination number and oxidation state to what were then …

A central problem in chemistry is that of describing and organizing the structure (atomic
arrangement) of chemical compounds. In the particular case of crystals, it has long been …
