  • Molecular encapsulation in metal-organic framework crystals
    Patent number: 10137429
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel host-guest complexes, wherein the guest molecule has a diameter larger than the aperture size of the host-a metal organic framework (MOF). The novel host-guest complexes of the invention can be used for drug delivery, sensing, electrical conductivity, luminescence, and energy conversion. The invention also provides a method of making the novel host-guest complex, utilizing the linker exchange conditions in which a guest molecule having a diameter larger than the aperture size of the host is encapsulated into the MOF.
