Description:About the Seminar:\n\nPorosity in network solids\, including ze
 olites\, activated carbons\, and metal-organic frameworks\, has been widel
 y interrogated for decades. In molecular metal-organic systems\, however\,
  it is a relatively novel phenomenon. This is somewhat surprising given th
 e fact that porous organic cages can display surface areas that rival thos
 e of metal-organic frameworks. This talk will focus on the design\, synthe
 sis\, and characterization of highly porous coordination cages for small m
 olecule storage applications. Further\, it will detail the intriguing inte
 rplay between surface area and solubility in a class of paddlewheel-based 
 cages. We have recently shown that these materials\, which conceptually se
 rve as soluble metal-organic framework analogs\, display impressive porosi
 ty under specific synthesis and activation conditions. Although these cage
 s are typically amorphous upon desolvation\, the utilization of pillaring 
 ligands endows the materials with high crystallinity and compatibility wit
 h diffraction methods for the identification and optimization of gas bindi
 ng sites. The design\, synthesis\, and characterization of an exciting new
  class of materials\, porous salts\, will also be discussed.\n\nZoom Link\
