• New material captures carbon dioxide
  

  A new material that can selectively capture carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules and efficiently convert them into useful organic materials has been developed by researchers at Kyoto University, along with colleagues at the University of Tokyo and Jiangsu Normal University in China. They describe the mate more

• Chemistry in motion
  

  For the first time, researchers have managed to view previously inaccessible details of certain chemical processes. They have shown there are significant discrete stages to these processes which build on our knowledge of chemical synthesis. These details could aid in the development of methods to sy more

• Striped Glow Sticks
  

  It may be possible to reach new levels of miniaturization, speed, and data processing with optical quantum computers, which use light to carry information. For this, we need materials that can absorb and transmit photons. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, Chinese scientists have introduced a new str more

• Direct water-based synthesis and characterization of new Zr/Hf-MOFs with dodecanuclear clusters as IBU

  Two new metal-organic framework compounds of composition [M12(μ3-O)8(μ3-OH)8(μ-OH)6(OH)6(H2O)6(APDC)6], with M = Zr and Hf denoted as M-CAU-39, containing the azopyridinedicarboxylate ion (APDC2-) as a new linker, were obtained by a water based synthesis. The crystal structure was determined from po more

• Microwave-assisted dry-gel conversion - a new sustainable route for the rapid synthesis of metal-organic frameworks with solvent re-use

  Microwave-assisted dry-gel conversion (MW-DGC) combines advantages of concentrated reactants in DGC with fast heating by microwave irradiation. This novel combination allows to drastically decrease the amount of solvent needed for synthesis and reaction times with energy needed. Further, MW-DGC allo more

• Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks: design, structures and potential applications

  Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), a new type of porous material following the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), etc., have emerged as one of the promising candidates in diverse potential applications. In this highlight, we summarize the key progress of the more
