News from the space group diagrams project! Thanks to Eduardo Carrillo Aravena's tremendous support of the project, the diagrams for all hexagonal space groups are now complete as well! You can find the the diagrams here: crystalsymmetry.wordpress.com/space-group-...

Beyond the Google map and Google spreadsheet the #MOF Universe now has an interactive 3D companion. MOF Universe 3.0 renders all 444 research locations on a rotating globe with colour-coded pins, and a built-in search. → Launch MOF Universe 3.0 here: crystalsymmetry.github.io/mof-universe/

Looks fantastic!

My first MOF paper is back from 2009 and is about DUT-4/5, a nice collaboration between Dresden and Hamburg! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Where has this awesome space group symmetry visualizer been all my life? spacegroups.symotter.org

I used the semester break to make some progress on the space group diagram project: now all space group diagrams of the trigonal crystal system (space groups no. 143 - 167) are complete! They are available as PNG, PDF, and PPT at: crystalsymmetry.wordpress.com/space-group-... Enjoy!

The #MOF Universe got a massive update with many additional information. We asked also for potential collaboration intentions - so have a look! Many thanks to everyone who took part in the survey and to the COST Initiative EU4MOFs for funding my work! crystalsymmetry.wordpress.com/mof-universe/

I have been observing for some time that Springer Nature does not have a passion for publishing, but only a passion for profit. #discover #mdpi #springernature #ResearchIntegrity the-strain-on-scientific-publishing.github.io/website/post...

Interested in #MOFs and #water in confinement? In the following publication we tried to derive the amount of differently ordered water species depending on the filling degree of the pores of MOF-74 analogues with the help of #IR spectroscopy. doi.org/10.1002/admi...

Here you go!

Crystallographers and crystal enthusiasts, (self-)assemble! (well, I will add you in case I didn't spot you before, if you like :)

Please share - our team is recruiting for a fully funded PhD position (Oct 2024 start, home fees only) on the use of electron crystallography to examine a range of properties in MOFs, from flexibility to guest binding (including crystal sponge work). Advert to come. Email me!

Nice article about the recently discovered monotile (aka 'einstein' or 'hat') and its diffraction pattern! doi.org/10.1107/S205...
