In 1893, Alfred Werner described the structure of octahedral transition metal complexes and
provided the basis for assigning coordination number and oxidation state to what were then …

In this review, we describe two recently implemented conceptual approaches facilitating the
design and deliberate construction of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), namely …

Ultra-selective and fast transport of K+ are of significance for water desalination, energy
conversion, and separation processes, but current bottleneck of achieving high-efficiency …

Mechanochemistry is an effective method for the preparation of multicomponent crystal
systems. In the present work, we propose an alternative to the established liquid‐assisted …

The synthesis on the gram scale and characterization of a series of flexible functionalized
iron terephthalate MIL-53 (Fe) type solids are reported. Chemical groups of various …

Porous crystals constructed from the assembly of organic linking units with metal ions or
metal clusters are proving to be an exciting class of materials with unprecedented properties …

Metal− organic frameworks (MOFs) are a rapidly growing class of microporous materials.
Various MOFs with tailored nanoporosities have recently been developed as potential …

Ni-doped MOF-5s were successfully synthesized for the first time via solvothermal
crystallization process to enhance the hydrostability. Several characterization techniques …

The appearance and disappearance of polymorphs is no longer a mysterious and
inexplicable process. Although methods for polymorph control are still imperfect, there is a …

Polymorphism is the ability of solid materials to exist in two or more crystalline forms with
different arrangements or conformations of the constituents in the crystal lattice. These …
