Chemistry of Defect-rich Metal-organic Framework (MOFs)
ACS Fall 2024
Global Virtual Symposium
Chemistry of Disordered and Defect-rich Metal-organic Framework (MOFs): Glasses, Gels and Crystals
Inorganic Chemistry Division
Metal-Organic Frameworks aka MOFs are renowned for their highly ordered crystalline structure, designability, porosity and host-guest chemistry. Purposeful introduction of defects and disorder in MOFs at various scales is widely used to impart and modulate their structures, properties and functionalities.
For example, the controlled and precise introduction of a number of local defects in the MOF framework is known to improve their performance in reactivity and diffusion. Alternately, MOF glasses and gels whose structures are highly disordered while retaining framework connectivity which leverages advantages such as shaping, grain boundary-free monoliths, and hierarchical porosity. Especially, the recent discovery of the melting and glass formation phenomenon in MOFs has led to the introduction of a fundamentally new category of glass, with attention to transfer the designer framework chemistry of crystalline MOFs to their respective liquid and glassy states.
Despite these advancements, there is significant scope for work in this area and gain fundamental insights to fully explore their potential. The chemistry of defect-rich MOF glasses, gels, and crystals is an interdisciplinary subject, which straddles the boundaries of physics, chemistry, and the material sciences. Through this symposium, we aim to provide a common platform for researchers across the world to exchange ideas, foster collaborations and identify new opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are Flash presentations?
They are brief, impactful, and convey information about a novel protocol, perspective, technique, or research results. For instance, one Flash Talk may describe an innovative interdisciplinary research outcome. Another may describe results for a pilot/prototype study.
-
Can I submit an abstract if I'm not an early career researcher?
This symposium focuses on early career researchers, but all researchers are welcome to attend. However, the format of the presentation will be 8 minutes flash talk.
-
What is the submission deadline for abstracts?
The submission deadline for abstracts is April 1, 11:59 PM ET.
-
What is the required format for abstracts?
Abstracts should be 2500 characters or less and include the title, author(s), and a concise description of your research.
-
Can I include images or figures in my abstract?
Yes, limited use of images or figures is permitted to enhance your abstract's content.
-
When will I know if my abstract is accepted?
Presenters can expect to receive their acceptance notices approximately 3 months before the meeting. Scheduling notices are sent periodically starting approximately 2 months before the meeting.
-
What if I can't attend the symposium on the scheduled date?
While attending is encouraged, if you can't participate in real time, you can still submit an abstract for inclusion. In case the abstract is accepted, you can share a recorded version of flash talk.
-
Do I need to register separately if my abstract is accepted?
Yes, accepted presenters will have to register for ACS Fall 2024. Symposium organizers will reach out to confirm their participation.
