Structural and dynamic studies of Zr-based metal-organic frameworks toward external stimuli

Thesis

Advanced studies of structures and dynamics of functional materials based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) showing exceptional stimuli-driven properties is of strong current interest for the design of next-generation smart materials, especially for sorption-based applications such as gas storage, energy storage, controlled drug delivery, and molecular sensing, to name but a few. State-of-the-art diffraction and spectroscopy in conjunction with theoretical calculations are one of the most po...
