A route to high surface area, porosity and inclusion of large molecules in crystals
Article Abstract:
The design, synthesis and properties of crystalline Zn4O (1,3,5-benzenetribenzoate) (sub 2), a new metal-organic framework with a surface area estimated at 4,500m2 g (super -1) is reported. This framework, named MOF-177, combines this exceptional level of surface area with an ordered structure that has extra-large pores capable of binding polycyclic organic guest molecules-attributes.

Reticular synthesis and the design of new materials
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on crystalline solid-state materials. The authors describe the construction of these materials from molecular building blocks via the use of the approach called reticular synthesis, and report that the resulting highly porous frameworks are held together by strong metal-oxygen-carbon bonds.

A mesoporous germanium oxide with crystalline pore walls and its chiral derivative
Article Abstract:
A mesoporous germanium oxide, SU-M, with gyroidal channels separated by crystalline walls that lie about the G (gyroid) minimal surface as in the mesoporous MCM-48, is described. It has the largest primitive cell and lowest framework density of any inorganic material and channels that are defined by 30-rings.
