Our paper about "MOCOFs" is now out on Nature Synthesis! They are cyborgs of #MOFs and #COFs with combined properties. Thanks to @stecanossa.bsky.social and @agvsl.bsky.social for making the precise analysis possible. #pormatsky #chemsky

Crystalline porous frameworks based on double extension of metal–organic and covalent organic linkages - Nature Synthesis

Double extension of coordination and imine linkages resulted in the synthesis of metal–organic–covalent–organic frameworks (MOCOFs), combining MOF-like crystallinity and COF-like chemical stability wi...

Nobel Prize for MOFs!!

I know this paper, but my understanding is this is more of stacking or other physical changes, related to (non-reactive) solvents

Interesting! This effect should be important for the COF synthesis in scCO2, but for the workup of solvothermal synthesis, carbonic acid generated from residual water sounds much weaker than acidic conditions in synthesis.

I used the semester break to make some progress on the space group diagram project: now all space group diagrams of the trigonal crystal system (space groups no. 143 - 167) are complete!

They are available as PNG, PDF, and PPT at:

Enjoy!

Me: "I wrote this."

Carbon dioxide: "It sucks. It's utter trash. A child could have done better. Plus your outfit is horrible. Did a cavefish dress you?"

Me, to other guy: "Who is this jerk?"

Other guy, the one who says the punchline: "That's supercritical CO₂."
