Mineralogy and materials design have always been closely intertwined. Here, I review some of the earliest work in modern materials chemistry to explicitly take inspiration from mineral structures and properties, and introduce the invited contributions to this theme issue. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Mineralomimesis: natural and synthetic frameworks in science and technology’.

Synthetic Methodologies

The recent discovery of minerals with metal-organic framework (MOF) structures has challenged the view of MOFs as purely synthetic materials. At the same time, the application of geo-inspired synthetic methodologies, such as accelerated ageing and pseudomorphic replication, has enabled a cleaner, more environmentally friendly synthesis of MOFs from mineral-like feedstocks, as well as the assembly of materials with structure controlled at both micro- and meso-scales. These almost concomitant developments have highlighted the previously unknown relationships between geology and MOF chemistry. Here, we outline examples of MOF structures found in minerals, and note geologically inspired approaches to MOF synthesis, as a means to highlight how the emergent geomimetic concepts in MOF chemistry can lead to advances in the design and synthesis of MOFs. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Mineralomimesis: natural and synthetic frameworks in science and technology’.

Pyrazole, a member of the structural class of azoles, exhibits molecular properties of interest in pharmaceuticals and materials chemistry, owing to the two adjacent nitrogen atoms in the five-membered ring system. The weakly basic nitrogen atoms of deprotonated pyrazoles have been applied in coordination chemistry, particularly to access coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks, and homocoupling reactions can in principle provide facile access to bipyrazole ligands. In this context, we summarize recent advances in homocoupling reactions of pyrazoles and other types of azoles (imidazoles, triazoles and tetrazoles) to highlight the utility of homocoupling reactions in synthesizing symmetric bi-heteroaryl systems compared with traditional synthesis. Metal-free reactions and transition-metal catalyzed homocoupling reactions are discussed with reaction mechanisms in detail.
