(Surface-coordinated) Metal–Organic Framework Reactions

Information

Please read the guidelines that are given on the top level page reactions . The basic concepts described there need to be applied for MOF reactions as well.

Chemotion repository requires the addition of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) in a standardized manner. To describe the synthesis of metal organic frameworks in an adequate manner, please consider the following sections "MOF samples", "MOF synthesis", "SURMOF synthesis" at this page and refer to characterization standards on Analyses .

MOF samples

SURMOF samples

Drawing

SURMOF samples consist of a representative unit of the MOF structure and a linkage to the surface.

Ketcher rails needed

For a SURMOF drawing, please use ketcher-rails as a molecule editor. Other molecule editors than ketcher rails lack the necessary function to add surfaces to the drawing.

  • please select the surface symbol to represent the surface
  • add one or multiple surface-symbols to describe the surmof
  • use the bracket symbol to assign the composition of the surface as provided
  • include layers that were provided as preparation of the surface. Only those molecules/atoms that are part of the reaction scheme are added to the surface as explicit molecules.
  • ensure that metal organic bonds are represented as coordinative bonds and that the corresponding fragments are given as ionic components
