Now published with open access @natmater.nature.com. In addition to the preprint, we now show that the concept is not just applicable to ZIFs but also to carboxylate MOFs! doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Flux-mediated ligand exchange restructures metal–organic framework glasses - Nature Materials
The organic ligand phenanthroline acts as a flux to vitrify otherwise non-glass-forming metal–organic frameworks as well as restructuring the coordination environment and network topology of the resul...

While there's great software for fitting PDFs, there's a lack of software to quickly and simply simulate PDFs. This is especially useful when trying to understand measured PDFs without wanting to do any refienments. To fill this gap, I developed a little tool called xPDFsim: xpdfsim.readthedocs.io

Meltable MOFs are unique in many ways. In our new preprint we show that you can let molten MOFs react with an organic ligand and obtain some interesting glasses. 🔍 A highly collaborative effort. doi.org/10.26434/che...

Organic flux-mediated ligand exchange enables coordination sphere engineering and topological restructuring in metal-organic framework glasses
Melt-quenched glasses derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) combine the processability of glasses with the modularity and microporosity of MOFs, yet remain structurally and functionally less di...
