Sorption and reactivity of simple organic molecules in chabazite

When you read about #adsorption, it's remarkable how often Richard Barrer's work appears.

Here he is in 1953 showing that chabazite can be used to separate HCFCs due to molecular sieving.

Cu-MOF-74 thin films change from orange to brown as the ethanol concentration increases in water-ethanol mixed vapours.

This, along with a convenient smartphone app for analysis, provides an inexpensive alcohol sensing solution.📱🍷

Exciting! 🎉 Welcome to #pormatsky #MOFsky!

Casual #blueSci reminder: you might want to avoid making statements whose validity is a function of time. 'Best', 'ultra-high', 'definitive', 'final', etc. will likely result in strong claims turning plain wrong in future years/decades/(...) #pormatsky #crystallography #compchemsky #chemsky

The Cambridge Structural Database has been updated with 20,653 structures.

Just over half of these new structures are metal-organic structures that can be classified as coordination complexes and metal-organic frameworks (#MOFs).
