Recent Advances in Metal-Organic Frameworks for Biomacromolecule Sensing

Photoluminescent Metal–Organic Frameworks for Gas Sensing

Luminescence of porous coordination polymers (PCPs) or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is sensitive to the type and concentration of chemical species in the surrounding environment, because these materials combine the advantages of the highly regular porous structures and various luminescence mechanisms, as well as diversified host-guest interactions. In the past few years, luminescent MOFs hav...

Recent advances on simulation and theory of hydrogen storage in metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks.

This critical review covers the application of computer simulations, including quantum calculations (ab initio and DFT), grand canonical Monte-Carlo simulations, and molecular dynamics simulations, to the burgeoning area of the hydrogen storage by metal-organic frameworks and covalent-organic frameworks. This review begins with an overview of the theoretical methods obtained from previous studi...

Metal-Organic Frameworks for Sensing Applications in the Gas Phase

Several metal-organic framework (MOF) materials were under investigated to test their applicability as sensor materials for impedimetric gas sensors. The materials were tested in a temperature range of 120 °C - 240 °C with varying concentrations of O(2), CO(2), C(3)H(8), NO, H(2), ethanol and methanol in the gas atmosphere and under different test gas humidity conditions. Different sensor confi...

Recent Advances in Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Gas Diffusion in Metal Organic Frameworks

Luminescent metal-organic frameworks for chemical sensing and explosive detection.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a unique class of crystalline solids comprised of metal cations (or metal clusters) and organic ligands that have shown promise for a wide variety of applications. Over the past 15 years, research and development of these materials have become one of the most intensely and extensively pursued areas. A very interesting and well-investigated topic is their opti...
