Art of Architecture: Efficient Transport through Solvent-Filled Metal–Organic Frameworks Regulated by Topology

Guest transport through metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is a critical process in the application of MOFs for catalysis. Understanding the interplay between transport behavior and a MOF’s structure is of fundamental importance to further tailor MOFs for optimal catalysis. Here, we investigated dye transport processes through two solvent-filled Zr-MOFs, NU-600 and NU-1008, which are compositionally the same but display different topologies, i.e.,...
