A novel highly crystalline MOF-74 series consisting of an anthracene-based building block and five different divalent metal ions is presented. The MOFs combine photoluminescence with high surface areas and electrical conductivity.
Biosuccinic acid, obtainedviasugar fermentation, is cyclodimerized and oxidized to yield building blocks for aromatic polyesters with high glass transition temperatures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
