Chemical, thermal and mechanical stabilities of metal–organic frameworks

Mapping‐Out Catalytic Processes in a Metal–Organic Framework with Single‐Crystal X‐ray Crystallography

“…[8] This limitation has now been overcome and many examples of chemically robust MOF structures have been reported. [9] Indeed, we and others have recently shown that single-crystal to single-crystal (SC-SC) chemical transformations in astable MOF can be elucidated via SCXRD analysis under relatively demanding conditions. [10] These advances in structural characterization are noteworthy as SCXRD studies have proven to be an essential technique for understanding structure-function relationships for molecular species.…”

Design and Construction of Chemically Stable Metal-Organic Frameworks

“…Generally, the stability of MOFs can be categorized into three aspects: chemical stability, thermal stability, and mechanical stability. 6 They refer to the ability of MOFs to maintain their structural intactness when they are exposed to chemicals, high temperature, and mechanical force, respectively. 6 This chapter mainly focuses on the chemical stability of MOFs.…”

“…6 They refer to the ability of MOFs to maintain their structural intactness when they are exposed to chemicals, high temperature, and mechanical force, respectively. 6 This chapter mainly focuses on the chemical stability of MOFs. In addition, there is also a type of stability called hydrothermal stability, which refers to the scenario when a MOF is exposed to water or water vapor at a temperature higher than room temperature.…”

Sorption and catalysis by robust microporous metalloporphyrin framework solids

“…The rational design of porous solids has been greatly advanced by the linkage of molecular "building-blocks" through various metal ion or cluster coordination frameworks [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Having channels and pores similar to those found in zeolitic materials, these metal organic framework (MOF) solids have the potential to perform shape-selective separations, chemical sensing, and catalysis.…”
