DESCRIPTION:Prof. Omar K. Farha\nDepartment of Chemistry\,\nNorthwestern U
 niversity\,\nEvanston\, USA\nChE-605 - Highlights in Energy Research semin
 ar series\nMetal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of soli
 d-state materials built up from metal-based nodes and organic linkers. The
 y exhibit permanent porosity and unprecedented surface areas which can be 
 readily tuned through coordination chemistry at the inorganic node and/or 
 organic chemistry at the linkers. The high porosities\, tunability\, and s
 tability are highly attractive in the context of catalysis. As exemplified
  by many catalytic enzyme assemblies in nature\, site-isolation is a power
 ful strategy for performing catalytic reactions. MOFs provide an exciting 
 platform for deploying catalysts in a site-isolated fashion and the caviti
 es surrounding them can be engineered to conceptually mimic enzymes. This 
 talk will address new advances in the synthesis and catalytic activity of 
 MOF/Enzyme composite materials developed at Northwestern University.\n\nTh
 e seminar can also be followed remotely by joining the online Cisco WebEx 
 meeting (connection possible 15 minutes before the talk).\nIn case of prob
 lem\, you can contact our IT support (37679 - it.vs@epfl.ch )
