110th iCeMS Seminar: Dr. Christian James Doonan
MOFs are a class of highly porous, crystalline materials that have been widely investigated for their gas adsorption properties. A feature of MOFs is their simple synthesis from metal-oxide and rigid organic building blocks that form the joints and links, respectively, of an open network. Accordingly, MOF materials can be constructed with pore architectures and chemistry tailored for a specific function. Such high levels of synthetic control have identified MOFs as promising materials for selective CO2 capture. In this work we describe the synthesis and gas adsorption properties of new Functionalized MOF materials designed to preferentially bind CO2.
