2024 ✅

Summer beamtimes!! Two a row this month at Sincrotró ALBA💡 on the NOTOS beamline to run some successful XAFS measurements 😄

Our latest work on water remediation has just appeared in Advanced Functional Materials! 🎉 Congratulations to Edward Loukopoulos, Sergio and Ana E. Platero-Prats using also great results from Andreas Mavrantonakis StructureOfMaterials Diamond Light Source and DESY (Deutsch) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

🤽‍♂️ Chemically Tailored Metal-Organic Frameworks for Enhanced Capture of Short- and Long-Chain Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances from Water 🤝New paper at @AdvSciNews by Andreas Mavrantonakis in collaboration with LOCAL-Mater • Platero's Lab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

We are at Cambridge University !! What a great time we are having at YoungMOFmeeting 🤩 Thank you very much dear Celia Castillo Blas for organising such an inspiring conference 👏

Thrilled to announce that our review about PDF analysis on MOFs and COFs has been published!! Chem Soc Rev Kudos to Ignacio Romero-Muñiz and Edward Loukopoulos pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art… IFIMAC - Condensed Matter Physics Center UAM Autónoma Madrid Félix Zamora

Interested in a comprehensive review on using PDF analyses for MOF and COF characterization? Check out our latest article published in Chem Soc Rev 👇🏻👇🏻 pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

Excited to share our latest work in Chem Soc Rev, exploring structural challenges in MOFs & COFs using PDF analysis. We hope it proves valuable to the reticular mater community. Grateful for the collaboration with Ana E. Platero-Prats,Edward Loukopoulos,Félix Zamora, and Ying Xiong Link here👇

Accessing mixed cluster rare-earth MOFs with reduced connectivity via linker expansion and desymmetrization: co-assembly of 6-c and 10-c hexanuclear clusters in RE-stc-MOF-1 pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

Rare-earth MOF chemistry is always fascinating, especially using reduced symmetry linkers! Our latest work introduces new porous frameworks based on hexanuclear clusters of mixed connectivity. Pantelis Trikalitis Konstantinos Froudas Giasemi Angeli Link (open access) 👇 doi.org/10.1039/D4TC03…
