TL;DR: A crystal engineering or reticular chemistry strategy that controls pore functionality and size in a series of MOMs with coordinately saturated metal centres and periodically arrayed hexafluorosilicate anions enables a ‘sweet spot’ of kinetics and thermodynamics that offers high volumetric uptake at low CO2 partial pressure (less than 0.15 bar).

TL;DR: A strategy is presented that has enabled the synthesis and properties of a porous aromatic framework PAF-1, which has a Langmuir surface area of 7100 m g, and outperforms highly porous MOFs in thermal and hydrothermal stabilities.

TL;DR: An overview of the current status of clean energy applications of porous MOFs, including hydrogen storage, methane storage and carbon dioxide capture is provided.

TL;DR: A microporous metal-organic framework, PCN-14, based on an anthracene derivative, 5,5'-(9,10-anthracenediyl)di-isophthalate (H4adip), was synthesized under solvothermal reaction conditions and revealed that it consists of nanoscopic cages suitable for gas storage.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates how two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with well-defined mesopore structures display the right combination of properties to serve as a scaffold for decorating coordination sites to create ideal adsorbents in environmental remediation.
