MOF Liquid

Caption

One challenge for the team was to make a crystalline MOF behave as a porous liquid. The team discovered how to modify the surface of relatively large MOF nanoparticles with suitable chemical groups. This "surface functionalization" allowed the nanoparticles to form stable dispersions in a liquid solvent.
