Visualizing Pore Packing and Topology in MOFs
Journal of Chemical Education, v99 n5 p1998-2004 2022
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) can have open pore structures with high surface areas and applications in hydrogen storage, carbon dioxide capture, water harvesting from air, chemical separations, and catalysis. The chemical structure of these crystalline solids can initially appear daunting. Simplification by considering the arrangement of the pores and by identifying the links and vertices as well as switching between multiple representations can make visualization of these structures accessible.
