Systematic Expansion of Porous Crystals to Include Large Molecules

February 28, 2013

Recently, scientists at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and their collaborators synthesized a series of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with pores up to 98 Å in diameter—large enough to house protein molecules. For the first time the researchers were able to design strategies to overcome three major obstacles to increasing pore capacity...
