My first MOF paper was the basis for a lot of my later work on adsorption in flexible structures. All the math was derived in 2 hours of Eurostar travel, and I'm still amazed it works so well! #mofs #chemsky #chemistrynobel pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Thrilled to share the last work from my PhD! We examined the pore cation effect on water sorption, finding hydrophilicity trends with a Hofmeister series (the cations are changing the "solubility of water in the MOF"). Mg-SU-102 is great at pulling water from dry air!
