Two Zn MOFs, MOF-645 and MOF-646, comprised of polarized 1,3-azulenedicarboxylate were synthesized. The guest free MOF-646 showed strong MOF-H(2) interactions (7.8-6.8 kJ mol(-1)), which revealed the significant impact of internally polarized azulene backbone to stabilized H(2) molecules in the framework.

CONTEXT Type 2 diabetes is associated with a higher risk for major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) and hip fracture than predicted by the World Health Organization fracture risk assessment (FRAX) tool. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to examine the impact of diabetes duration on fracture risk. METHODS Using a clinical dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry registry linked with the Manitoba a...

In this paper, a metal-organic framework MOF-5 loaded polyethylene glycol (PEG) nanowire was used to form composite phase change material PEG/MOF-5. The molecular dynamics method simulate the thermal conductivity, melting point and latent heat by G-K function pseudo-supercritical path method, respectively. results show that pores of promote increase angle PEG main chain extension helical segmen...

A functional crosstalk between epigenetic regulators and metabolic control could provide a mechanism to adapt cellular responses to environmental cues. We report that the well-known nuclear MYST family acetyl transferase MOF and a subset of its non-specific lethal complex partners reside in mitochondria. MOF regulates oxidative phosphorylation by controlling expression of respiratory genes from...

Abstract: CO2 is one of the most important greenhouse gases and its removal from flue gas and natural gas has become increasingly important. We report the synthesis, characterization, and CO2 adsorption properties of two similar metal organic frameworks; Co and Ni based MOF-74. The BET specific surface areas of MOF-74(Co) and MOF-74(Ni) MOFs were 1,406 and 1,418 mg, respectively with the identi...

The mechanism of negative thermal expansion (NTE) in MOF-5 has been studied using a rigid unit mode analysis of the phonons responsible for NTE. In addition to confirming the role of the previously proposed optic 'trampoline mode' mechanism [Lock et al., Dalton Trans., 2013, 42, 1933-2320], we have identified a new acoustic mode mechanism that makes a major contribution to the macroscopic NTE o...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the performance of the WHO's Fracture Risk Assessment (FRAX) instrument in predicting 10-year risk of Major Osteoporotic Fractures (MOF) and Hip Fractures (HF), using the USA treatment thresholds, in populations other than their derivation cohorts. DESIGN EMBASE and MEDLINE database were searched with sea...

T considerable interest in the chemistry and applications of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) has led to significant synthetic advances in this area, yet the details of the self-assembly process that give rise to these materials are still unclear. This is curious, but not unexpected: the crystallization of MOFs is difficult to study because their nucleation typically requires unpredictable induc...

The metal-organic framework MOF-5 has attracted significant attention due to its ability to store large quantities of H2 by mass, up to 10 wt.% absolute at 70 bar and 77 K. On the other hand, sinceMOF-5 is typically obtained as a bulk powder, it exhibits a lowvolumetric density andpoor thermal conductivitydboth ofwhichareundesirable characteristics for ahydrogen storage material. Here we explor...
