We have constructed a continuous flow oscillatory baffled reactor (CF-OBR) equipped with a homogeneous and controllable microwave applicator in an entirely novel design. This affords a new route to chemical production incorporating many of the princi...

Realising the environmental benefits of metal–organic frameworks: recent advances in microwave synthesis (2018)
Journal Article
Thomas-Hillman, I., Laybourn, A., Dodds, C., & Kingman, S. W. (in press). Realising the environmental benefits of metal–organic frameworks: recent advances in microwave synthesis. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, https://doi.org/10.1039/c8ta02919a

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a broad class of porous crystalline materials that show great potential for a wide-range of applications in areas such as energy and environmental sustainability. MOFscan show significant advantages in gas selectiv... Read More about Realising the environmental benefits of metal–organic frameworks: recent advances in microwave synthesis.
