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

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 …

A strategy to achieve a ratiometric thermometer by encapsulating luminescent perylene dye
into the pores of a europium metal-organic framework (MOF) is developed. The resulting …

The adsorptive separation of C2H2 and CO2 via porous materials is nontrivial due to the
close similarities of their boiling points and kinetic diameters. In this work, we describe a new …

Conspectus Conducting a reaction in the solid state eliminates the usage of solvents. If such
reactions are conducted in a single-crystal to single-crystal (SCSC) fashion, then structural …

X-Ray single-crystal diffraction has been the most straightforward and important technique in
structural determination of crystalline materials for understanding their structure–property …

1.1 Background Much of the initial interest and enthusiasm over the class of solids now
known as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) or porous coordination polymers (PCPs) came …

The modular nature of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) leads to a very large number of
possible structures. High-throughput computational screening has led to a rapid increase in …

Linking molecular building units by covalent bonds to make crystalline extended structures
has given rise to metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks …

Since the development of metallopolymers, there has been tremendous interest in the
applications of this type of materials. The interest in these materials stems from their …
