Encoding complexity within supramolecular analogues of frustrated magnets (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Macmillan Publishers Limited. All rights reserved. The solid phases of gold(I) and/or silver(I) cyanides are supramolecular assemblies of inorganic polymer chains in which the key structural degrees of freedom - namely, the relative vertical s...

A Breathing Zirconium Metal-Organic Framework with Reversible Loss of Crystallinity by Correlated Nanodomain Formation (2016)
Journal Article

The isoreticular analogue of the metal–organic framework UiO‐66(Zr), synthesized with the flexible trans‐1,4‐cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid as linker, shows a peculiar breathing behavior by reversibly losing long‐range crystalline order upon evacuation...

Design of crystal-like aperiodic solids with selective disorder–phonon coupling (2016)
Journal Article

Functional materials design normally focuses on structurally ordered systems because disorder is considered detrimental to many functional properties. Here we challenge this paradigm by showing that particular types of strongly correlated disorder ca... Read More about Design of crystal-like aperiodic solids with selective disorder–phonon coupling.
