Out in @J_A_C_S we show that A-site substitution in heterometallic Ti2M2 clusters induces cluster strain in MOFs, lowering symmetry and enhancing reactivity. Strain boosts LMCT efficiency, Ti(III) photogeneration, and enables superior CO2 methanation rates

A really nice @UoBChemistry - @ImperialChemEng collaboration with @JesBarrio_ looking at the impact of heterocyclic amines in the synthesis and structure of ZIFs 🥳
Check it out in @JMaterChem !👇
More to come soon! @LeverhulmeTrust

The latest work from the group is a collaborative effort to find out what heterocyclic amines do to the structure of ZIF-8! It’s now online in @JMaterChem @JCastells_

Spoiler alert, we found a new, layered ZIF structure (1/2)
