Here the crystal structure of a cubic diamond metal-organic framework is featured; the CSD entry JARMEU. This is the structure that revealed that a crystalline, diamondoid, extended framework was formed that had large cavities, establishing this class of solid polymeric materials. A cubic diamond lattice metal-organic framework Shown at the right is the building block of the lattice (restore initial scene). C, N, Cu The metal here is copper. When the repeats of this building block are shown connected to others, the lattice appears. Viewing the the CSD entry JARMEU as a 1x1x3 set of the metal organic framework illustrates this. When considered this way a beautiful diamondoid structure appears that is a 4-connected network. The large cavities are visible as the lattice layers onto itself as the view of the structure rotates. The cavities would contain anions and solvent that are not shown in this crystal structure as they'd be freely moving and randomly distributed. The extensive nature of the network with the large cavities becomes more apparent if we consider more of the repeated building blocks. The CSD entry JARMEU as a 1x3x3 plane of the metal organic framework. (Substatntial patience required when loading this scene; it is suggested to only do that after you have examined the others.) Significance Since the proposal of this class of materials, metal-organic framework have been proven to support many roles. Applications to gas storage, analytical chemistry and (bio)sensors, batteries and fuel cell technology, separation science, synthesis and catalysis, harvesting of water from dry (low humidity) air, water purification and environmental remediation, capture/destruction of harmful agents, energy conversion and storage, hydrogen generation, food safety, and drug delivery & diagnostics/therapy have been demonstrated. Highlighting the significance is the fact three chemists doing seminal work in this field were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2025. The structure featured here played a key role in establishing this field.

Technical Details

The views featuring the 1x1x3 set and the plane were built using the Jmol Crystal Symmetry Explorer to examine CSD Entry: JARMEU.
