Focus topic – Metal Organic
Frameworks
Science is evolving quickly merging different disciplines
• Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are
crystalline compounds of metal ion complexes
that produce pores
– First synthesized in the 1990s
• The pores can be used to store gases like
hydrogen or carbon dioxide
• MOFs also have been used as gas separation
compounds and as sensors or catalysts
• The German DFG has a priority
research project on MOFs

Search example: Finding different MOF structures
• MOFs are mainly built as metal ion complexes
coordinated to benzenedicarboxylic acids (or
tricarboxylic acids
• CAS would have unique CAS Registry
numbers for each metal complex depending on
the structure provided in the publication
• The ‘smart’ searching of metal containing
compounds should be taken with care

5
Is it safe to limit here to Coordination Compounds only?

6
What would be relevant but not seen as coordination
compounds?
Some common salts may be missed
These could give some MOF results
if the author didn’t specify the final
structure

Precision Analyze gives closely related compounds
Conventional structure answers are the most
reliable for regular organic structure searches
but the closely and loosely associated
tautomers should be evaluated for metalcontaining compound queries

9
Coordination compounds with no displayed structures
Compounds can be retrieved by structure
and molecular formula; they will not have
predicted properties

Conclusions
• The limiter of Coordination Compounds includes all
relevant complexes, but no salts
• If the type of coordination is relevant one bond should
be drawn to avoid other types of coordination
• Coordination chemistry searching can be tricky in
terms of structure smarts
– Precision analyze should be evaluated
• MOFs with benzenedicarboxylic acids provide 673
references on the conventional structures
– The closely associated tautomers gave 42 references for MOFs; of
which 25 were not in the 673 set
