Webinar: From Adsorption Isotherms to Structural Dynamics: Understanding How Flexible MOFs Work

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials whose adsorption properties can be precisely controlled through their pore structures and chemical environments. In flexible MOFs, guest adsorption can trigger structural transformations, resulting in unique adsorption and separation properties.
In this webinar, Prof. Ken-ichi Otake will explain how gas adsorption measurements using the BELSORP series combined with XRPD in situ structural characterization can reveal the relationship between molecular adsorption, framework dynamics, and separation performance. Selected examples will demonstrate how adsorption analysis provides essential insights into the design and understanding of functional MOFs.

Topics include:

  • Structural transformations in flexible MOFs triggered by guest adsorption
  • The relationship between molecular adsorption, framework dynamics, and separation performance
  • Combining gas adsorption measurements with in situ structural characterization

Who should attend:

  • Researchers working with MOFs and other porous materials
  • Scientists studying adsorption and separation processes
  • Lab professionals using gas adsorption or structural characterization techniques

Why attend:

  • Gain a clearer understanding of how adsorption measurements can reveal the structural dynamics and functional properties of flexible MOFs.
