I'm excited to share some of our research positioning organometallic reactivity in the context of chemical separations, entailing a new mechanism of cooperative adsorption. Congratulations to all of the authors! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Multigas adsorption with single-site cooperativity in a metal–organic framework

Cooperative gas adsorption in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is a rare phenomenon that generally involves long-range communication between multiple binding sites. We demonstrate a MOF containing...
