N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have become one of the most widely studied class of
ligands in molecular chemistry and have found applications in fields as varied as catalysis …

Owing to their three dimensionality and high porosity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
have attracted the attention of scientists especially chemists and material engineers. The …

Although the coordination chemistry of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with transition
metals has been explored for half a century, only in the past ten years has the chemistry of …

Separation of acetylene from carbon dioxide and ethylene is challenging in view of their
similar sizes and physical properties. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in general are …

Though N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have emerged as diverse and powerful discrete
functional molecules in pharmaceutics, nanotechnology, and catalysis over decades, the …

A Cambridge Structural Database, CSD, search was performed to find structures where a
proton or an alkali metal cation is a coordination centre that interacts with N-heterocyclic …

We report a bottom-up approach to immobilize catalysts into MOFs, including copper halides
and gold chloride in a predictable manner. Interestingly, the structures of MOFs bearing …

By changing the concentration of copper salt (Cu (ClO4) 2), a two-dimensional (2D) copper
paddle-wheel-based metal–organic framework (MOF) containing an imidazolium unit (Im …

A series of optically pure carboxylate ligands based on a fluorene backbone were
synthesized and used for the elaboration of four chiral metal–organic frameworks (6, 7, 8 …

Building a well-defined porous structure with permanent porosity in a metal–organic
framework (MOF) is significant to achieve selective adsorption of guest molecules and its …
