Identification Schemes for Metal–Organic Frameworks To Enable Rapid Search and Cheminformatics Analysis

The modular nature of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) leads to a very large number of possible structures. High-throughput computational screening has led to a rapid increase in property data that has enabled several potential applications for MOFs, including gas storage, separations, catalysis, and other fields. Despite their rich chemistry, MOFs are typically named using an ad hoc approach, which can impede their searchability and the...
