A topologically diverse MOF dataset, NU-topoMOF-2025, was constructed and screened to identify topology-based design rules for materials with enhanced hydrogen storage performance.
Net-clipping is a strategy for the topological prediction of MOFs built with reduced-symmetry linkers. It is based on the deconstruction of nets by clipping half of the connectivity in tetrahedral, hexagonal, cubic or hexagonal prismatic nodes.
Face-transitive nia-d MOFs flip C2 adsorption via linker fluorination for one-step ethylene purification.
Reticular chemistry allows for the rational design and synthesis of stable metal–organic frameworks with targeted nets and programmable pores for diverse applications ranging from water capture and catalysis to gas storage and separation.
In this work, we report the synthesis of zirconium- and rare-earth-based metal–organic frameworks using a linker desymmetrization strategy, enabling access to previously unattainable topologies, defective clusters, and enhanced catalytic activity.
