Zeolites, Metal-Organic Frameworks, and Porous Materials in between

Abstract

Conventional porous materials include zeolites and metal-organic frameworks(MOFs). Especially the latter class of materials are extensively studied for the past two decades for potential applications in gas storage and catalysis. A distinguishable feature of MOFs is structural diversity, exhibiting several hundreds important net types and over 70,000 compounds accumulated thus far. In this presentation, we show that there exists uncharted teritory in this area- Frank-Kasper phases in metal-organic frameworks, together with a rational synthetic strategy to stabilize those new compounds via data-driven discovery.
