DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jorge A. R. Navarro\, Departamento de Química Inorgáni
 ca\, Universidad de Granada\, Spain\nBio: Jorge Navarro has been Full Prof
 essor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Granada since 2010. His 
 research is focused on the synthesis and applications of discrete and exte
 nded polygonal coordination assemblies with molecular recognition properti
 es suitable for applications on the fields of environmental and biomedical
  chemistry.\n\nHe is the author of roughly 75 publications and the quality
  of his research has been distinguished by the Excellence Research Award o
 f the University of Granada (2002\, 2009) and the RSEQ-Sigma-Aldrich Young
  Researcher Award (2006).  He is also a member of the editorial board of 
 ICA Journal.\nChE-605 - Highlights in Energy Research seminar series\n\nMe
 tal organic frameworks have blossomed as an amazing class of easily engine
 ered crystalline porous materials with properties overcoming\, in some asp
 ects\, those of classical adsorbents and catalysts. The wise introduction 
 of functional groups into the pore structure can be used to further improv
 e the properties of these materials. In this regard\, one of the features 
 that determine the adsorptive and catalytic properties of a porous materia
 ls is the presence of defects in the pore surface.1 \nIn this seminar\, I 
 will give a critical overview of some topics that have been addressed in o
 ur research group and the knowhow that we have achieved on ion conductivit
 y2\, catalytic3 and gas separation4\,5 properties of MOFs by means of the 
 wise control of pore functionalization and deliberate introduction of defe
 cts. Examples of the utility of these materials for air purification purpo
 ses\, namely\, capture and degradation of environmentally relevant (CO2\, 
 SO2\, NO\, NH3) and toxic gases (CWAs) will be given.\n\n[1] Fang\, Z. et
