Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with high levels of porosity are being intensively investigated. New synthetic methods pioneered in the group lead to materials with unprecedented structural properties. Both fundamental studies on processes such as gas adsorption, postsynthetic methods, phase direction, and host-guest chemistry are conducted alongside applications in gas (hydrogen, carbond dioxide, methane) storage and catalysis. Key techniques applied to characterize materials include X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and adsorption analysis.
