Title: Out-of-Oblivion Cage Molecules and Their Porous Crystalline Phases

Abstract

An automated molecular porosity detection approach was developed and applied to PubChem, a repository of ca. 94 million molecules, to discover intrinsically porous cage molecules, which, although previously considered by chemists, have remained in oblivion to the porous solids community as neither their crystal structures nor solid-state porosity have been previously reported. The effort led to identification of six such cage molecules reported over the span of the last two decades. The following crystal structure prediction effort suggested that these molecules can form stable low-energy porous crystalline phases. One of the identified lowest energy phases exhibits zeolite-range porosity with pore diameters of ca. 8 Å and internal surface area of 1070 m ²/g.

Synthesis, Structure, and Carbon Dioxide Capture Properties of Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks

Journal Article Phan, Anh ; Doonan, Christian J. ; Uribe-Romo, Fernando J. ; ... - Accounts of Chemical Research

Zeolites are one of humanity’s most important synthetic products. These aluminosilicate-based materials represent a large segment of the global economy. Indeed, the value of zeolites used in petroleum refining as catalysts and in detergents as water softeners is estimated at $350 billion per year. A major current goal in zeolite chemistry is to create a structure in which metal ions and functionalizable organic units make up an integral part of the framework. Such a structure, by virtue of the flexibility with which metal ions and organic moieties can be varied, is viewed as a key to further improving zeolite propertiesmore »« less

A new naturally-occurring nanoporous copper sheet–silicate with 6{sup 4}8{sup 2} cages related to synthetic “CuSH” phases

Journal Article Welch, Mark D., E-mail: mdw@nhm.ac.uk ; Rumsey, Michael S. - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The structure of a new naturally-occurring nanoporous copper silicate of formula Na{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}Si{sub 8}O{sub 20}·H{sub 2}O (disodium calcium dicopper octasilicate monohydrate) is reported and its relations to synthetic nanoporous “CuSH” compounds are discussed. The new phase is monoclinic C2/m with unit cell parameters a=12.2439(6) Å, b=15.7514(4) Å, c=10.6008(3) Å, β=125.623(2)°, and V=1661.87(10) Å{sup 3} (Z=4). The structure has been refined to R{sub 1}(all)=0.033, wR{sub 2}(all)=0.071, and GoF=1.090. In the double-sheet of SiO{sub 4} tetrahedra, 6{sup 4}8{sup 2} cages connect to form a chequer-board motif within which Na atoms and H{sub 2}O groups occupy channels. Each cage is occupied bymore »« less

Toward Automated Tools for Characterization of Molecular Porosity

Journal Article García, Ismael Gómez ; Bernabei, Marco ; Haranczyk, Maciej - Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation

The emerging advanced porous materials, e.g. extended framework materials and porous molecular materials, offer an unprecedented level of control of their structure and function. The enormous possibilities for tuning these materials by changing their building blocks mean that, in principle, optimally performing materials for a variety of applications can be systematically designed. However, the process of finding a set of optimal structures for a given application requires computational high-throughput tools to analyze and sieve through many candidate materials. In particular, in the case of porous molecular materials, the analysis and selection of a molecule is one of the key aspectsmore »« less

Metal-organic and zeolite imidazolate frameworks (MOFs and ZIFs) for highly selective separations

Technical Report Yaghi, Omar M

Metal-organic and zeolite imidazolate frameworks (MOFs and ZIFs) have been investigated for the realization as separation media with high selectivity. These structures are held together with strong bonds, making them architecturally, chemically, and thermally stable. Therefore, employing well designed building units, it is possible to discover promising materials for gas and vapor separation. This grant was focused on the study of MOFs and ZIFs with these specific objectives: (i) to develop a strategy for producing MOFs and ZIFs that combine high surface areas with active sites for their use in gas adsorption and separation of small organic compounds, (ii) tomore »« less

Structures of three polycystic kidney disease-like domains from Clostridium histolyticum collagenases ColG and ColH

Journal Article Bauer, Ryan ; Janowska, Katarzyna ; Taylor, Kelly ; ... - Acta Crystallographica. Section D: Biological Crystallography (Online)

Clostridium histolyticumcollagenases ColG and ColH are segmental enzymes that are thought to be activated by Ca ²⁺-triggered domain reorientation to cause extensive tissue destruction. The collagenases consist of a collagenase module (s1), a variable number of polycystic kidney disease-like (PKD-like) domains (s2a and s2b in ColH and s2 in ColG) and a variable number of collagen-binding domains (s3 in ColH and s3a and s3b in ColG). The X-ray crystal structures of Ca ²⁺-bound holo s2b (1.4 Å resolution,R= 15.0%,R _free= 19.1%) and holo s2a (1.9 Å resolution,R= 16.3%,R _free= 20.7%), as well as of Ca ²⁺-free apo s2a (1.8 Åmore »« less
