Flexible Linker Spacer Length Modulation in Cd‐Based Metal–Organic Frameworks: Impact on Polarity and Sequestration Abilities (Small 13/2025)

Metal–Organic Frameworks Uncovering the role of flexible methylene spacer length, the research highlights enhanced structural properties of three Cd-based MOFs, improving their ability to capture iodine and carbon dioxide. The polarizing and docking features of the heterocyclic core and heteroatoms enable efficient sorption and CO2 conversion under ambient conditions. Theoretical simulations provide deeper insight into the binding mechanisms, revealing their exceptional performance. More in article number 2409061, Sanjay K. Mandal and co-workers.
