Clarkson U. chemistry professor publishes chemistry paper in ACS journal

Posted

POTSDAM -- A scholarly paper by Clarkson University’s Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biomolecular Science Dr. Mario Wriedt was recently published in Chemistry of Materials, a journal of the American Chemistry Society.

Wriedt’s article,  “Rational Design of Pore Size and Functionality in a Series of Isoreticular Zwitterionic Metal-Organic Frameworks,” details the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel and advanced crystalline porous materials that he and his team focus on at Clarkson.

He and his colleagues work on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) which are composed of metal clusters or ions and organic linkers forming porous multi-dimensional networks.

Wriedt said what sets his work apart is that he has combined charged polarized surfaces with the ability to change the pore size of the MOFs on a molecular level, which has never been done before.
