Jesse L. C. Rowsell has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Implementation of a strategy for achieving extraordinary levels of surface area and porosity in crystals
    Patent number: 7652132
    Abstract: The present invention provides a metal-organic framework (“MOF”) comprising a plurality of metal clusters and a plurality of multidentate linking ligands. Each metal of the plurality of metal clusters comprises one or more metal ions. Each ligand of the plurality of multidentate linking ligands connects adjacent metal clusters. The present invention also provides a method of forming the metal-organic framework. The method of the invention comprises combining a solution comprising one or metal ions with a multidentate linking ligand having a sufficient number of accessible sites for atomic or molecular adsorption that the surface area of the resulting metal-organic framework is greater than 2,900 m2/g.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 7, 2004
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2010
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of Michigan
    Inventors: Omar M. Yaghi, Adam J. Matzger, Jesse L. C. Rowsell
