Over the past 25 years, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have developed into an increasingly intricate class of crystalline porous materials in which the choice of building blocks offers significant ...

Two new metal−organic framework (MOF) structures, IRMOF-3b and -3c, were prepared by ring-opening reaction of 1,3-propanesultone and 2-methylaziridine with an amine functionalized MOF, IRMOF-3. The ...

A remarkably stable tubular 3D Zn-MOF with hexagonal channels and a rare ptr topology was prepared under solvothermal conditions for liquid and vapor phase adsorption and separation of the C6–8 ...

The use of porous materials to store natural gas in vehicles requires large amounts of methane per unit of volume. Here we report the synthesis, crystal structure and methane adsorption properties of ...

Metal-reducing microorganisms such as Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 reduce highly soluble species of hexavalent uranyl (U(VI)) to less mobile tetravalent uranium (U(IV)) compounds. The biologically ...

Diethyl carbonate (DEC) was evaluated as a green, renewable alternative to methyl isobutyl ketone and dibutyl carbitol for the recovery of gold from copper-rich sources, such as anode slimes, by ...

Calixarenes are versatile macrocyclic compounds featuring unique basket-like cavities that are capable of encapsulating guest molecules selectively. Yet, their application potentials as the building ...
