Now published with open access @natmater.nature.com. In addition to the preprint, we now show that the concept is not just applicable to ZIFs but also to carboxylate MOFs! doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Flux-mediated ligand exchange restructures metal–organic framework glasses - Nature Materials

The organic ligand phenanthroline acts as a flux to vitrify otherwise non-glass-forming metal–organic frameworks as well as restructuring the coordination environment and network topology of the resul...

Meltable MOFs are unique in many ways. In our new preprint we show that you can let molten MOFs react with an organic ligand and obtain some interesting glasses. 🔍 A highly collaborative effort. doi.org/10.26434/che...

Beyond PXRD Pattern Matching: Toward Rigorous Structure Determination in Covalent Organic Frameworks https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.2132280?af=R

While there's great software for fitting PDFs, there's a lack of software to quickly and simply simulate PDFs. This is especially useful when trying to understand measured PDFs without wanting to do any refienments. To fill this gap, I developed a little tool called xPDFsim: xpdfsim.readthedocs.io

Organic flux-mediated ligand exchange enables coordination sphere engineering and topological restructuring in metal-organic framework glasses

Melt-quenched glasses derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) combine the processability of glasses with the modularity and microporosity of MOFs, yet remain structurally and functionally less di...
