Hey guys I am uploading an image from the crystal structure of a MOF i made. Thought I will not go into much details since it is still not published . Enjoy :)

At the risk of looking stupid, what does MOF stand for?

Superb - I only recently read about them a few months back. There must be so much work to be done with them trying different metals/organics to see what material properties result.

Really exciting material.

And relatively easy to make . Quantum mechanics does all the work for you and so small molecules and ions they self asseble to create bigger and more complex structures. Viva la quantum mechanica !!!
