The chemistry of crystalline, porous metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks (MOFs and COFs), collectively referred to as reticular chemistry, has extended zero-dimensional metal complexes and organic molecules into ‘infinite’ two- and three-dimensions (2D and 3D)…
While metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) boast a vast structural diversity—originating from the large variety of metals in the periodic system and their ability to form clusters of different shape and size—covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are predominantly made by connecting preformed carbon-based b…
Chemists consider compounds having the same chemical composition, formula, and structure (the pattern of connectivity and geometry) to be the same except in the case of isomers where the atoms in molecules differ only by their spatial arrangement…
The current challenges of carbon dioxide capture are focused on reducing the energy consumption per unit capture of CO2. Therefore, developing sorbents that combine the characteristics of selective chemisorption and low regeneration energy consumption is highly desired…
Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) has emerged as a potential solution to overcome the depleting availability of freshwater. The performance of adsorption-based AWH devices critically depends on the water affinity and water adsorption characteristics of the adsorbent…
A MOF water harvester has been developed and tested in Death Valley National Park. This water harvester has a capacity of 285 g●H2O/kg●MOF-303/day and operates passively with double the amount of water harvested compared to our previous passive MOF water harvester…
Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) has emerged as a potential solution to overcome the increasing global water stress. Adsorption-based water harvesters capture water from the atmosphere in an adsorption-desorption cycle…
We present the synthesis and characterization of a novel hydroxamate-based yttrium metal-organic framework (MOF), designated MOF-419 [Y(HCOO)(BDH)], featuring rod-shaped secondary building units (rod-SBUs)…
Leveraging prompt engineering strategies, we have explored ChatGPT's capabilities in automated text mining of synthesis conditions for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) from a broad spectrum of scientific literature…
Covalent organic frameworks (COF) represent a relatively novel class of crystalline porous materials which are composed by units connected through covalent bonds. Depending on the initial building blocks, the final reticular structure can form as a 3D or 2D network…
Capture of CO2 from the air offers a promising approach to managing carbon levels and achieving carbon neutrality goals. For capturing CO2 from a highly dilute source (400 ppm), a durable material with high capacity, rapid kinetics, and a low regeneration temperature is required…
