With structural correlations reminiscent of their parent crystals, molten phases of metal–organic frameworks present the intriguing possibility of using coordination chemistry and reticular synthesis to access network-forming liquids and glasses with unique and tunable structure and properties…

Temperature swing solvent extraction (TSSE) is a novel desalination method for hypersaline water. In TSSE, a solvent that has temperature-switchable miscibility with water is used to absorb water, but not salt, from brine…

Switchable solvents are emerging platforms for green chemistry, promising more efficient separations and tunable chemical environments for a diverse list of environmental applications…
