Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) possess a set of unique attributes including permanent porosity, large internal surface areas and robust crystallinity which has motivated extensive interest in the field of gas-phase catalysis. In particular, MOFs can act as a platform for the heterogenization of molecular catalysts, allowing easy catalyst recovery and a route towards structural elucidation of...

Current research on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has concentrated predominantly on the properties of ordered crystalline phases. However, there is growing recognition of the importance of the physical properties of MOFs. In particular, the role of disorder, defects, and structural flexibility in installing beneficial physical behaviour is now widely studied. We synthesised four novel...
