Dive into the world of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) with Framework Foundry, a cutting-edge computational tool designed to facilitate the generation of novel MOF structures. This program is uniquely equipped to handle both Multivariate MOFs and Isoreticular MOFs, offering researchers and enthusiasts unparalleled control and insight into the structural diversity of these fascinating materials.
For those interested in the synthesis of complex MOF architectures, Framework Foundry allows you to customize the ratio of different linkers, providing the flexibility to explore a wide range of compositions. With the ability to construct supercells, you can visualize and analyze the intricate patterns formed by varying linker proportions.
When it comes to Isoreticular MOFs, our program leverages the comprehensive database at PubChem to build structures using documented linkers. It is important to note that currently, the program can only identify and utilize:
This feature enables users to compare and select the most promising structures based on online previews, providing a valuable resource for the design of novel MOFs.
Framework Foundry was developed by Dr. Chengbin Zhao, with generous support and guidance from the Prof. Hexiang Deng (Deng Group) and Prof. Jun Cheng (Cheng Group).
The combined expertise and dedication of these groups have led to the creation of a robust platform dedicated to serving the scientific community in advancing MOF research.
