Coordinative alignment uses x-ray diffraction to precisely and unambiguously determine the structure of molecules bound or crystallized within chiral metal organic frameworks.

A method of forming polymerization auxiliaries for a polymerization process may include combining an antifouling agent with a killer agent to form an auxiliary composition; and contacting the auxiliary composition with an alkylaluminum. An antifouling complex may be produced by combining an antifouling agent with a killer agent to form an auxiliary composition; and contacting the auxiliary composition with an alkylaluminum.

The present invention relates to low temperature process for preparing nanoparticles of porous crystalline Fe-, Al- or Ti-based MOF carboxylate materials with low polydispersity index, and uses thereof, particularly as catalyst support for carrying out heterogeneously catalyzed chemical reactions, or as gas storage/separation/purification material, or as matrix for encapsulating active principles (medicine, cosmetics).

A catalyst-free synthesis method for the formation of a metalorganic compound comprising a desired (first) metal may include, for example, selecting another (second) metal and an organic solvent, with the second metal being selected to (i) be more reactive with respect to the organic solvent than the first metal and (ii) form, upon exposure of the second metal to the organic solvent, a reaction by-product that is more soluble in the organic solvent than the metalorganic compound. An alloy comprising the first metal and the second metal may be first produced (e.g., formed or otherwise obtained) and then treated with the organic solvent in a liquid phase or a vapor phase to form a mixture comprising (i) the reaction by-product comprising the second metal and (ii) the metalorganic compound comprising the first metal. The metalorganic compound may then be separated from the mixture in the form of a solid.

A body can comprise a substrate and a functional layer overlying at least a portion of a surface of the substrate. The functional layer can comprise metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and a binder, the binder including an organic polymer, and an adhesion loss factor (ALF) of the functional layer to the substrate can be not greater than 7%.
