SPP 1362: Porous Metal-Organic Frameworks

优先计划集中在合成，物理特性和功能的具体集成到金属有机框架（MOFs），一类新的多孔材料大大超过了现有材料，如活性炭和沸石的吸附能力。它们的特点是模块化的结构原理，允许定制孔隙系统的合理设计。使用合适的结构单元，将实现框架内分子的特定相互作用的整合，以用于M0F内分子种类的储存、感测、转化或分离。通过这种方式，将构建用于能量存储的新材料（例如氢或甲烷）。对于传感器材料，物理性质的变化应用于分子的检测。对于化学转化，材料是重要的，在骨架或孔中具有特定的活性催化位点。在所有情况下，重点是实现框架和吸附或反应分子的相互作用的基本理解。在这种情况下，实验确定的首选吸附位点和动态的孔系统内的分子是至关重要的。为此，还需要使用现代理论方法进行建模。为了加强化学家，材料科学家，物理学家和工程师之间的跨学科交流，通常只有这样的项目将得到资助，提供两个或三个主要研究者在以下能力领域的不同专业知识的协同合作：

The Priority Programme concentrates on the synthesis, the physical properties and the specific integration of functionality into Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), a new class of porous materials surpassing significantly the adsorption capacity of established materials such as activated carbons and zeolites. They are characterised by a modular construction principle allowing for a rational design of custom made pore systems. Using suitable building blocks, the integration of specific interactions for molecules inside the framework shall be realised for the storage, sensing, transformation or separation of molecular species inside MOFs. In this way, new materials for energy storage (for example hydrogen or methane) will be constructed. For sensor materials, a change of physical properties should be used for the detection of molecules. For the chemical transformation, materials are important, having specific active catalytic sites in the framework or the pores. In all cases, the focus is to achieve a basic understanding of the interactions of the framework and the adsorbed or reacting molecules. In this context, the experimental determination of the preferred adsorption sites and the dynamics of molecules inside the pore system are crucial. For this purpose, also modelling using modern theoretic methods is needed. In order to enhance the interdisciplinary exchange between chemists, materials scientists, physicists and engineers, generally only such projects will be funded, providing a synergistic cooperation of two or three Principal Investigators with different expertise in the following areas of competence:
