Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) represent the largest known class of porous crystalline
materials ever synthesized. Their narrow pore windows and nearly unlimited structural and …

In this Minireview, we discuss the fundamental chemistry of soft porous crystals (SPCs) by
characterizing their common structural features and the resulting structural softness and …

The crystallographic pore sizes of zeolites are substantially smaller than those inferred from
catalytic transformation and molecular sieving capabilities, which reflects flexible variation in …

Soft porous crystals combine flexibility and porosity, allowing them to respond structurally to
external physical and chemical environments. However, striking the right balance between …

The construction of thousands of well-defined, porous, metal–organic framework (MOF)
structures, spanning a broad range of topologies and an even broader range of pore sizes …

Rod MOFs are metal–organic frameworks in which the metal-containing secondary building
units consist of infinite rods of linked metal-centered polyhedra. For such materials, we …

In the last two decades, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained significant attention
as adsorbent and membrane materials for gas separations. Due to the large number and …

Assessing the mechanical stability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is critical to bring
these materials to any application. Here, we derive the first interactive map of the structure …

We summarize recent advances in application of MOFs as therapeutic agents, drug carriers,
imaging agents and biosensors in cancer biomedicine. A holistic perspective is adopted to …

Since the late 1990s, much progress has been made in the field of the chemistry of flexible
porous coordination polymers (PCPs). Various PCP architectures have been recognized …
