Record High Hydrogen Storage Capacity in the Metal-Organic Framework Ni 2 (m-dobdc) at Near-Ambient Temperatures

November 27, 2018
Author(s)
Matthew T. Kapelewski, Tomce Runcevski, Jacob Daniel Tarver, Henry Z. H. Jiang, Katherine E. Hurst, Philip A. Parilla, Anthony Ayala, Thomas Gennett, Stephen A. FitzGerald, Craig Brown, Jeffrey R. Long
H 2 provides promise as a clean automobile fuel, but storage typically requires high pressure to achieve reasonable driving ranges. Adsorption of H 2 in metal-organic frameworks is one of the most well-studied applications of this class of materials due to

Defect-Driven Extreme Magnetoresistance in an I-Mn-V Semiconductor

September 20, 2018
Author(s)
Junjie Yang, Aaron Wegner, Craig Brown, Despina Louca
Semiconducting electronics have been transformed in part due to progress in spin polarized transport. Central to modern day spintronics, contemporary magnetoresistive components are based on ferromagnetic multilayers. New directions in the search for the

Methane Storage in Paddlewheel-Based Porous Coordination Cages

Casey A. Rowland, Gregory R. Lorzing, Eric J. Gosselin, Benjamin Trump, Glenn P. A. Yap, Craig Brown, Eric D. Bloch
Although gas adsorption properties of extended three-dimensional metal-organic materials have been widely studied, they remain relatively unexplored in porous molecular systems. This is particularly the case for porous coordination cages which typically

Certification of Standard Reference Material 1879b Respirable Cristobalite

July 27, 2018

David R. Black, Marcus H. Mendenhall, Pamela S. Whitfield, Craig Brown, Albert Henins, James J. Filliben, James P. Cline
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certifies a suite of Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) to address specific aspects of the performance of X-ray powder diffraction instruments. This report describes SRM 1879b, the third generation

Spin-Phonon Couplings in Transition Metal Complexes with Slow Magnetic Relaxation

July 3, 2018

Duncan H. Moseley, Shelby E. Stavretis, Komalavalli Thirunavukkuarasu, Mykhaylo Ozerov, Yongqiang Cheng, Luke L. Daemen, Jonathan Ludwig, Zhengguang Lu, Dmitry Smirnov, Craig Brown, Anup Pandey, A. J. Ramirez-Cuesta, Adam C. Lamb, Mihail Atanasov, Eckhard Bill, Frank Neese, Zi-Ling Xue
Co(acac) 2(H 2O) 2 (1, acac = acetylacetonate), a model transition metal complex, displays field-induced slow magnetic relaxation as a single-molecule magnet. Raman spectra of 1, Co(acac) 2(D 2O) 2 (1-d 4 and Co(acac-d 7) 2(D 2O 2) 2 (1-d 18) reveal that

Proton and Ammonia Intercalation into Layered Iron Chalcogenides

June 25, 2018

Xiuquan Zhou, Brandon Wilfong, Sz-Chian Liou, Halyna Hodovanets, Craig Brown, Efrain E. Rodriguez
Structurally related to the iron-based superconductors, two new intercalated iron chalcogenides (H 0.5NH 3)Fe 2Ch 2 where Ch = S, Se have been prepared. By topochemical conversion, the protons were exchanged by lithium to form (Li 0.5NH 3)Fe 2Ch 2

Gas Adsorption in an Isostructural Series of Pillared Coordination Cages

June 21, 2018
Author(s)
Eric J. Gosselin, Gregory R. Lorzing, Benjamin Trump, Craig Brown, Eric D. Bloch
The synthesis and characterization of six novel pillared metal-organic polyhedra is reported. By utilizing dabco (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2.]octane), a pillar with increased basicity as compared to typical pillars such as pyrazine, three new stable copper

An Experimental and Computational Study of CO 2 Adsorption in the Sodalite-Type M-BTT (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu) Metal-Organic Frameworks Featuring Open Metal Sites

May 28, 2018

Mehrdad Asgari, Sudi Jawahery, Eric D. Bloch, Matthew R. Hudson, Roxana Flacau, Bess Vlaisavljevich, Jeffrey R. Long, Craig Brown, Wendy L. Queen
We present a comprehensive investigation of the CO 2 adsorption properties of the isostructural series of metal-organic frameworks M-BTT (M =Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, BTT 3- = 1,3,5-benzenetristetrazolate), which exhibit a high density of open metal sites capable of

Magnetic Ordering in a Frustrated Bow-Tie Lattice

April 28, 2018

Laura J. Vera Stimpson, Efrain E. Rodriquez, Craig Brown, Gavin B. G. Stenning, Marek Jura, Donna C. Arnold
We report a systematic elastic and inelastic powder neutron diffraction study of the geometrically frustrated material, Ca 2Mn 3O 8. Ca 2Mn 3O 8 exhibits a "bow-tie" like connectivity of Mn 4+ with Ca 2+ occupying octahedral sites between MnO 6 layers
