The vast chemical and structural diversity of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) opens up the
exciting possibility of “crystal engineering” MOFs tailored for particular catalytic or separation …

Classical nucleation and crystal growth theories describe how nuclei form, become stable
after reaching a critical size and then enlarge through monomer attachment. More than two …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are some of the most exciting materials in current
science. Their utility and diversity of applications depends on a combination of their …

We report a hafnium-containing MOF, hcp UiO-67 (Hf), which is a ligand-deficient layered
analogue of the face-centered cubic fcu UiO-67 (Hf). hcp UiO-67 accommodates its lower …

Many of the proposed applications of metal–organic framework (MOF) materials may fail to
materialize if the community does not fully address the difficult fundamental work needed to …

Conspectus The evolution of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been one of the most
exciting aspects of materials chemistry over the last 20 years. In this Account, we discuss the …

The concept of secondary building units (SBUs) is central to all science on metal‐organic
frameworks (MOFs), and they are widely used to design new MOF materials. However, the …

Chiral coordination polymers and porous chiral MOFs have great potential as agents for
enantioselective separations, sensing, and catalysis due to their well-structured internal …

Crystalline materials undergo valuable phase transformations, and the energetic processes
that underlie these transformations can be fully characterized through a combination of …

There is an increasing amount of interest in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for a variety
of applications, from gas sensing and separations to electronics and catalysis. However, the …
