Simulating the structural phase transitions of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with control over the volume of nanocrystallites. Flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can undergo structural transitions with significant pore volume changes upon guest adsorption or other external triggers while maintaining their porosity. In computational studies of this breathing behavior, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations within periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) are commonly performed.

Three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks with pto and mhq-z topologies based on Tri- and tetratopic linkers. Three-dimensional (3D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) possess higher surface areas, more abundant pore channels, and lower density compared to their two-dimensional counterparts which makes the development of 3D COFs interesting from a fundamental and practical point of view.

Tunable metal hydroxide–organic frameworks for catalysing oxygen evolution. Now MIT researchers have developed a completely new type of catalyst material called the Metal-Organic Hydroxide Framework (MHOF), which is made up of inexpensive and abundant components. and The oxygen evolution reaction is central to making chemicals and energy carriers using electrons.
