Abstract: Described are acetylene bridged linkers, metal-organic frameworks produced thereof, processes for producing the linkers and the metal-organic frameworks, and the use of the metal-organic frameworks. The metal-organic frameworks possess an enhanced ability to adsorb and desorb high amounts of gases, in particular methane or hydrogen. The metal-organic frameworks have a high porosity and, thus, a high inner surface.

Abstract: Described is a process for the treatment of a gas stream containing nitrogen oxides. The process comprises the steps of: (1) providing a gas stream containing one or more nitrogen oxides; (2) contacting the gas stream provided in step (1) with a transition metal containing zeolitic material having a BEA-type framework structure for reacting one or more of the nitrogen oxides; wherein the zeolitic material is obtainable from an organotemplate-free synthetic process. Also described is an apparatus for the treatment of a gas stream comprising containing nitrogen oxides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to extruded shaped bodies containing at least one metal-organic framework (MOF), methods for their preparation and their use.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to shaped bodies of compositions comprising a porous aromatic covalent framework polymer, wherein the polymer comprises at least one monomer unit, the at least one monomer unit comprising at least one aromatic ring and the at least one monomer unit having at least three binding sites to adjacent monomer units in the polymer and a core, wherein the at least three binding sites are located on at least one atom of the core and wherein the at least one atom is free of covalent bonds to hydrogen; and at least one binder additive. Other aspects of the invention relate to methods for the preparation of said shaped bodies and their uses.

Abstract: A pyrometer for gas turbines is provided. Incident thermal radiation is split between a plurality of optical wave guides by a reflection prism and a lens according to regions on the surface of a turbine blade. The pyrometer is built into the wall of the turbine without protruding and enables the simultaneous and parallel measurement of the temperature of a plurality of regions on the surface of the turbine blade when a spectrum of the heat radiation is largely maintained.
