My first MOF paper is back from 2009 and is about DUT-4/5, a nice collaboration between Dresden and Hamburg!

Where has this awesome space group symmetry visualizer been all my life? spacegroups.symotter.org

General position diagram of space group R-3c (no. 167)

I used the semester break to make some progress on the space group diagram project: now all space group diagrams of the trigonal crystal system (space groups no. 143 - 167) are complete!

They are available as PNG, PDF, and PPT at:

Enjoy!

Thanks for the suggestion! Maybe that is the reason why he didn't response to my mail :-)

The #MOF Universe got a massive update with many additional information. We asked also for potential collaboration intentions - so have a look!

Many thanks to everyone who took part in the survey and to the COST Initiative EU4MOFs for funding my work!

Springer Nature Discovers MDPI – The Strain on Scientific Publishing Home page for the paper ‘The Strain on Scientific Publishing’ by Mark A Hanson, Dan Brockington, Paolo Crosetto and Pablo Gomez Barreiro

I have been observing for some time that Springer Nature does not have a passion for publishing, but only a passion for profit.

I had absolutely the same experience with the renowned publisher Springer, but back in 2016, at a time when AI was not yet on the market. As you said, the main reason is profit: the copyediting is done by miserably paid people who are neither native speakers nor do they know the scientific subject.

Thank you very much - I'm glad that you like it!

IR Spectroscopic Studies on Water Confined in an Isoreticular MOF Series–Influence of the Metal and Linker Functionality Mono- and bimetallic isoreticular MOF-74 analogs with different ratios of Mg2+ and Ni2+ and linkers of different sizes and functionalities are synthesized and loaded with water. With the help of IR s...

Interested in #MOFs and #water in confinement? In the following publication we tried to derive the amount of differently ordered water species depending on the filling degree of the pores of MOF-74 analogues with the help of #IR spectroscopy.

Perfect, thanks!

Looks very interesting, but I think the link is broken, maybe you want to fix that?

Hi Eleanor! May I join your starter pack please? I love crystals & crystallography :-) Thanks!

Here you go!

Crystallographers and crystal enthusiasts, (self-)assemble! (well, I will add you in case I didn't spot you before, if you like :)

Thank you for the suggestion - Feng is now included!

MOF Universe / World Map of MOF Research Groups The Twitter account MOF Universe aimed at compiling research groups focused on Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), but became inactive and published only lists as images. I transformed these lists int…

I created a world map of #MOF reserach groups. More information in the following blog post:

The Fascination of Crystals and Symmetry Crystals are fascinating objects.

Hello, I'd like to be added to the science feed. My personal blog is here:

and my institutional website here:

I just published a slightly revised version of the original blog post, particularly concerning the hP47-α structure; it turned out that there was a small error in the SI.

Okey, dann gedulde ich mich 😀

Sorry, ich möchte nicht zu unhöflich erscheinen, aber wofür taugt dieses Gedankenexperiment, das in sämtlichen Belangen (die Regel(!), die Koordinatorin kann keinen Stift finden(!), dadurch(!) gehen wichtige(!) Informationen verloren(!)] konstruierter nicht sein könnte?

New blog post: Net analysis concerning previously unknown crystal structure types with low coordination numbers

Please share - our team is recruiting for a fully funded PhD position (Oct 2024 start, home fees only) on the use of electron crystallography to examine a range of properties in MOFs, from flexibility to guest binding (including crystal sponge work). Advert to come. Email me!

Periodic diffraction from an aperiodic monohedral tiling Periodic diffraction from an aperiodic monohedral tiling

Nice article about the recently discovered monotile (aka 'einstein' or 'hat') and its diffraction pattern!

A good candidate for size-selective sieving of water and phenol! 😀

Exposing a most unscrupulous journal How one scientist uncovered identity theft, fictitious authors, and plagiarism at a nanoscience publication

Michael Fischer (@zeolitemifi.bsky.social) has uncovered an especially severe case of fraud involving a scientific journal. Read the whole story here:

We have a PhD project on predicting the structure of atomically precise semiconductor nanoclusters available for a Sept. 2024 start through the competitive DTP route at UCL Chemistry (Project ID: 2228cd1374) Deadline 8th January 2024. See: ucl-epsrc-dtp.github.io/2024-25-proj... #compchem #chemsky
