Wenbin LinMetal-Organic Frameworks for Sustainability and Human Health

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent an interesting class of crystalline molecular materials built from metal-connecting points and bridging ligands. The modular nature of and mild conditions for MOF synthesis have permitted the rational design of numerous MOFs with interesting properties. In this talk, I will discuss our recent works on designing MOFs for sustainability and human health. MOFs have enabled the rational synthesis of single-site and multifunctional solid catalysts for fine chemical synthesis and solar energy conversion. We have also demonstrated the ability to combine multiple treatment modalities into a single MOF nanoparticle for effective cancer therapy.
