In fact we did not developed only one, but two complementary routes to free up space in #MOFs. Acid washing or imidazole substitution happen in a single crystal to single crystal way, and can lead to porosity increase up to 50%. #reticularchemistry ⬇️check it out⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Single-crystal to single-crystal editing of metal–organic frameworks via ligand removal - Nature Chemistry

The synthesis of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) featuring wide mesopores or specific topologies often relies on the use of additional ligands known as centring structure-directing agents (cSDAs). Now...

SCAFFOLD REMOVAL👷‍♂️💎 In the past years we developed a #MOFs synthetic approach inspired by #architecture & applied it at the molecular scale. We've been asked many times whether we could remove these molecular scaffold/falseworks. Yes, we can! Fresh off the press in @natchem.nature.com

I finished last week with a beautiful paper accepted & started this one with an even more beautiful paper rejected… I’ve put my heart in both, and I feel sorry for those who made the lab work but didn’t get the reward we hoped for. We’ll revise, improve, submit elsewhere. #MOFs

MOFES'26 💎 Being back to India after 20 years also came with a wonderful #MOFES conference. Great talks, smooth organization, friends from overseas, peaceful campus, spicy food, fresh juices and crazy traffic. Thanks #IncredibleIndia for having me! Prof. Tapas Maji and the volunteers did amazing!

SPECIAL ISSUE. Since our review first went online for a special issue (unofficially) dedicated to his 60th birthday, Omar Yaghi not only turned 60 but also received the 2025 #NobelPrize in #Chemistry for the development of #MOFs. Happy to see my artwork illustrating the issue!

I’m pushing a little more each time when it comes to submitting papers. Started by tabulated isotherms, but the next one we’ll submit will have, in addition to .cif and .aif, raw PXRD and NMR files. I don’t feel like the most beloved supervisor 🫶, but if we must fill a gap for #compchem. #MOfs

Have you ever struggled, trying to make stable, crystalline Cr-MOFs?💎 Even by transmetalating Fe-MOFs? I did. Many did! That’s why we developed a new route to single crystalline, stable Cr-MOFs from In and Co parents #MOFs. Fresh off the press in @jacs.acspublications.org doi.org/10.1021/jacs...

I coauthored a review where my PI was both corresponding and first author. My name ended up last on the paper, likely because my contribution was limited. The paper is cited 800+ times. 🤷 I also have maybe 10+ papers where I am corresponding author but not last. Good luck figuring out what's fair...

@crystengcomm.rsc.org, are the covers validated by a panel of elementary school experts in playdoh modelling and sandbox architecture? Making a step aside full scientific accuracy for artistic purpose can be ok, but don't you see it went a bit far? Clearly not serving the community's credibility.
