Interaction of hydrogen with accessible metal sites in the metal–organic frameworks M2(dhtp) (CPO-27-M; M = Ni, Co, Mg)

Hydrogen molecules adsorbed in the nickel, cobalt, and magnesium analogs of the CPO-27 metal-organic framework at low loadings interact significantly more strongly than those adsorbed successively as a consequence of the strong interaction of hydrogen with the coordinatively unsaturated metal cations in the framework.

On Demand: The Singular rht Net, an Ideal Blueprint for the Construction of a Metal–Organic Framework (MOF) Platform†

The need for tunable functional solid-state materials is ever increasing because of the growing demand to address persisting challenges in global energy issues, environmental sustainability, and others. [1] It is practical and preferable for such materials to be pre-designed and constructed to contain the desired properties and specific functionalities for a given targeted application. An emerging unique class of solid-state materials, namely metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), has the desired attributes and offers great promise to unveil superior materials for many lasting challenges [2] since desired functionality can be introduced pre- and/or post-synthesis. [3] A remarkable feature of MOFs is the ability to build periodic structures with in-built functional properties using the molecular building block (MBB) approach, which utilizes pre-selected organic and inorganic MBBs, with desired function, that are judiciously chosen to possess the proper geometry, shape, and directionality required to target given underlying nets.
