Halogen Bonding Can Stabilize Permanent Porosity

February 3, 2026
Author(s)
Michael Moghadasnia, Hayden Evans, J. Sanchez Hernandez, Adria Hippely, Madilyn Holm, Gemma Ponce, Hannah Martin, Ronin Mannina, Brian Eckstein, Ryan Klein, Praveen Kumar, Charlotte Stern, Craig Brown, C. McGuirk
Halogen bonding has emerged as an intuitive and programmable handle for constructing ordered molecular solids. However, its ability to support permanent porosity has remained unresolved. Here, we report a self-complementary strategy that surpasses this

Kurtis M. Carsch, Henry Z. Jiang, Ryan Klein, Andrew S. Rosen, Peyton Summerhill, Jesse L. Peltier, Adrian J. Huang, Ryan A. Murphy, Matthew N. Dods, Hope A. Silva, Zikri Hasanbasri, Hyunchul Kwon, Sarah H. Karstens, Yuto Yabuuchi, Jonas Boergel, Jordan W. Taylor, Katie R. Meihaus, Karen C. Bustillo, Andrew M. Minor, Kristen A. Persson, Craig Brown, R. D. Britt, Nicholas P. Stadie, Jeffrey Long
Cooperative gas adsorption in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is a rare phenomenon that generally involves long-range communication between multiple binding sites. We demonstrate a MOF containing cobalt(II)–methyl sites that selectively and reversibly

The efficient removal of CO2 from exhaust streams and even directly from air is necessary to forestall climate change, lending urgency to the search for new materials that can rapidly capture CO2 at high capacity. The recent discovery that diamine-appended

High-Temperature Carbon Dioxide Capture in a Porous Material with Terminal Zinc Hydride Sites

Rachel Rohde, Kurtis Carsch, Matthew Dods, Henry Jiang, Alexandra McIsaac, Ryan Klein, Hyunchul Kwon, Sarah Karstens, Yang Wang, Adrian Huang, Jordan Taylor, Yuto Yabuuchi, Nikolay Tkachenko, Katie Meihaus, Hiroyasu Furukawa, Danielle Yahne, Kaitlyn Engler, Karen Bustillo, Andrew Minor, Jeffrey Reimer, Martin Head-Gordon, Craig Brown, Jeffrey Long
Carbon capture can mitigate point-source carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, but hurdles remain that impede the widespread adoption of amine-based technologies. Capturing CO2 at temperatures closer to those of many industrial exhaust streams (>200°C) is of

Layered hybrid organic–inorganic compounds of the transition metal hydroxides, in which part of the hydroxide ions are exchanged for organic ligands that act as spacers of the 2-dimensional inorganic layers, elicit new or enhanced properties. The

Adaptive Pore Opening to Form Tailored Adsorption Sites in a Cooperatively Flexible Framework Enables Record Inverse Propane/Propylene Separation

October 11, 2023

Ryan Klein, Lukas Bingel, Arijit Halder, Marcus Carter, Benjamin Trump, Eric Bloch, Wei Zhou, Krista Walton, Craig Brown, C. McGuirk
A proposed low-energy alternative to the separation of alkanes from alkenes by energy-intensive cryogenic distillation is separation by porous adsorbents. Unfortunately, most adsorbents preferentially take up the desired, high-value major component alkene

Multivariate Flexible Framework with High Usable Hydrogen Capacity in a Reduced Pressure Swing Process

April 12, 2023

Arijit Halder, Ryan Klein, Sarah Shulda, Gavin McCarver, Philip Parilla, Hiroyasu Furukawa, Craig Brown, C. Michael McGuirk
Step-shaped adsorption¬–desorption of gaseous payloads by a flexible metal–organic framework can facilitate the delivery of large usable capaci-ties with significantly reduced energetic penalties. This is desirable for the storage, transport, and delivery

Arijit Halder, Ryan Klein, C. McGuirk, Rachel Lively
Through systematic linker substitution in a flexible zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) with step-shaped adsorption–desorption, structural intermediates between the known open and closed phases were isolated. Reflecting this, modulative sorption
