DESCRIPTION:Prof. Craig M. Brown\nNational Institute of Standards and Tech
 nology (NIST) center for Neuron Research\, USA.\nAdsorption of molecules i
 n functionalized and high surface area microporous materials is of technol
 ogical importance in a multitude of areas ranging from chemical separation
 s to energy storage. Over the past several years we have focused our resea
 rch efforts on understanding the properties of metal-organic frameworks (M
 OFs) and zeolites for storage and separations of industrially important sm
 all molecules such as hydrogen\, oxygen\, carbon dioxide\, noble gases\, a
 nd short chain organics.  Besides the geometrical and porosity control in
  either class of materials\, the properties of metal-organic frameworks ca
 n be tuned to optimize electrostatic interactions by exposing open metal c
 ation sites.  Here\, we discuss the different requirements for performing
  these experiments at X-ray compared to neutron sources and reflect on the
  information potentially obtainable in both cases. The results illustrate 
 the power\, and limitations\, of diffraction in elucidating many of the go
 verning characteristics of these material properties and the interactions 
 with the guest molecules.
