Crystallography and properties of metal organic framework (MOF) compounds for upcoming special issue in 2019

 Deadline extended to October 15, 2018!

The special issue will encompass up-to-date research topics of MOFs as well as with reviews that present new evaluation and analyses of published work. Suggested topics:

• Structure/property relationships
• Properties of interest: catalytic, sorption, mechanical, gas storage, separations, energy harvesting, sensing, luminescence, energy conversion, electrical, ion conductivity, and magnetic properties
• Scattering techniques:
  • Ambient X-ray (laboratory and synchrotron), neutron, and electron
  • In situ, in operando and non-ambient crystallography
• Software tools for the analysis of MOFs
• Instrumentation/techniques (combined use/multimodal) for analysis of MOFs
• Powders, single crystals, nanomaterials, thin films
• New materials and new crystallographic data
• Crystallography and computational modeling
• Nomenclature, terminology, classification scheme
• Industrial applications
• Vision/projection of MOFs in the coming years
