One prominent aspect of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) is the ability to tune the size,
shape, and chemical characteristics of their pores. MOF-5, with its open cubic connectivity of …

Photochemical [2+ 2]-cycloadditions store solar energy in chemical bonds and efficiently
access strained organic molecular architectures. Functionalized [3]-ladderdienes undergo …

Controlling the solid-state polymerization of organic molecules to form crystalline materials
remains a challenge for the synthetic chemist. In an effort to control reaction pathways …

Relative to the rich library of small-molecule organics, few examples of ordered extended
(ie, nonmolecular) hydrocarbon networks are known. In particular, sp3 bonded, diamond …

Abstract Novel 1, 4‐disubstituted cubane derivatives have been designed and selected
ones have been successfully synthesized and characterized by various analytical and …

According to the laws of thermodynamics, materials normally exhibit contraction or
expansion along the directions of the applied pressure or tension. Here, we show that a man …

Sunlight is a renewable energy source that can be stored in chemical bonds using
photochemical reactions. The synthesis of exotic and strained molecules is especially …

High‐pressure behavior of hexamethylenetetramine (urotropine) was studied in situ using
angle‐dispersive single‐crystal synchrotron X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier‐transform …

Combined high pressure single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments and ab initio
simulations based on the density functional theory have been performed on a copper (I) …

We examine the thermodynamic and dynamic stability (ie, phonon dispersion) of mixed
silicon–carbon clathrate frameworks using first-principles calculations as a function of …
