Michael J. Bojdys from IOCB Prague co-authored a Nature Chemistry paper reporting on a crystalline framework connected by hexa-coordinated silicate. So far, hexa-coordinated silicate occurred only in a few high-pressure silicate phases. Researchers developed and demonstrated a novel one-pot synthesis of silicate organic frameworks based on octahedral SiO6 building units.
This new type of microporous crystalline material features a mix of chemical design from the world of crystalline, purely organic frameworks (COFs - Covalent organic frameworks) and the world of purely inorganic zeolites.
