ABSTRACTThe MCM-41 family of surfactant templated materials were used as model mesoporous sorbents for storage of light hydrocarbon vapors, by utilizing the phenomenon of capillary condensation. The experimental data show that, because of the fine tunability of MCM-41 type materials (mesopore diameter was controlled between 20 and 40 Å), the onset of capillary condensation can be controlled, and from here the point of achieving liquid-like fluid density in the pores. Such a unique characteristic makes the MCM-41 family of materials a potential media for sorptive fractionation.

<p>The ability to crosslink Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) has recently been discovered as a flexible approach towards synthesizing MOF-templated “ideal network polymers”. Crosslinking MOFs with rigid cross-linkers would allow the synthesis of crystalline Covalent-Organic Frameworks (COFs) of so far unprecedented flexibility in network topologies, far exceeding the conventional direct COF synthesis approach. However, to date only flexible cross-linkers were used in the MOF crosslinking approach, since a rigid cross-linker would require an ideal fit between the MOF structure and the cross-linker, which is experimentally extremely challenging, making in silico design mandatory. Here, we present an effective geometric method to find an ideal MOF cross-linker pair by employing a high-throughput screening approach. The algorithm considers distances, angles, and arbitrary rotations to optimally match the cross-linker inside the MOF structures. In a second, independent step, using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations we quantitatively confirmed all matches provided by the screening. Our approach thus provides a robust and powerful method to identify ideal MOF/Cross-linker combinations, which helped to identify several MOF-to-COF candidate structures by starting from suitable libraries. The algorithms presented here can be extended to other advanced network structures, such as mechanically interlocked materials or molecular weaving and knots<br></p>

Surfactant-templated materials are created through self-assembly in solutions containing both surfactant micelles and an inorganic species. The resulting materials are composites containing an organized surfactant micelle array encapsulated in the inorganic material. Removal of the surfactants generates nanoscale pores which replicate the highly organized micelle phase, producing high surface area materials with uniform pores that have applications in catalysis, molecular separation, encapsulation for sensors and slow release, and thin films for optoelectronics and photoelectrochemical devices. This review looks at recent work aimed at understanding how these materials self-assemble from dilute surfactant solutions to form intricate nanoscale configurations, which also often show complex and highly ordered structures on longer length scales.
