Very excited about this one. I typically don't enjoy too much focus on applications in my research... But that's because often I don't truly believe the work has actual usefulness beyond some quirky new chemistry insight.
This one's different ๐

@aq_ava@MOF_papers I think stability against hydrolysis is key for applications in water, particularly in natural water bodies that are slightly basic.
It would be awesome if one could screen for hydrolysis-resistant MOFs. That would also be useful to deal with humid gas streams
Our paper on the role of distorted low-symmetry Zr clusters in catalysis is finally online. Have a look if you're curious to learn more cluster dehydration as a means of defect engineering in Zr-MOFs. @Mehr_Asgari@lfim_epfl@bbmourino@felder_timo
Thanks so much to all the co-authors for their contribution and guidance ๐
Particularly, I'd like to thank Wendy @lfim_epfl Mehrdad @Mehr_Asgari and Simon Billinge for their mentorship. Also, big thanks to @bbmourino for her input and help from a DFT perspective โจ
Very happy to share our preprint just posted online. Thanks to all the co-authors โก
We investigate the role of O-vacancies in Zr clusters; their role in structural distortions of the metal nodes and the creation of low-valent reaction sites in DUT-67 #defects#disorder

We carried out some interesting in situ XANES studies at SNBL at @esrfsynchrotron to track the adsorption and reduction of Pt(IV) under continuous flow- big thanks to the beamline staff for their invaluable help!
Check out #MyFirstChemSci paper on functional redox-active polymers in MOFs for the extraction of Pt(IV) and other precious metals. Thanks a lot to all the co-authors @Mehr_Asgari@lfim_epfl for their contribution and guidance. @ChemicalScience
