Inorganic Seminar - Seth Cohen

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become a mainstream topic in inorganic and materials chemistry.  This presentation will focus on non-mainstream topics in MOF chemistry, including the development of hybrid materials of MOFs and polymers (including polyMOFs), techniques to probe the surface chemistry of MOFs, the self-assembly of MOF particles (SAMMs) and the development of low-valent MOFs (LVMOFs).  The unusual properties of these less conventional MOF materials will be presented and discussed.
