The Long Group

New in @ScienceMagazine: We harness the remarkably low-entropy conversion of a Zn-hydride to Zn-formate species in an MFU-4l-type MOF to perform CO2 capture under high-temperature (H-O-T-T-O-G-O), industrially useful conditions. dx.doi.org/10.1126/scienc… cen.acs.org/materials/meta…

The new MOF can bind two carbon monoxide molecules at each cobalt site. chemistryworld.com/news/new-mof-b…

I'm excited to share some of our research positioning organometallic reactivity in the context of chemical separations, entailing a new mechanism of cooperative adsorption. Congratulations to all of the authors! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We are excited to welcome Julia Oktawiec (@oktawiec) to our faculty! The Oktawiec Lab will interface synthetic peptide-based oligomers, dendrimers, and polymers with coordination chemistry to design novel nanomaterials for sustainability and health. oktawieclab.com

Have you ever imagined converting ambient humidity into electricity? If not, check out our recent paper on moisture-activated electricity generator at doi.org/10.1002/adfm.2… @AdvPortfolio . We can even power the smart window that requires a high power consumption.

Sure wish I could join! But I’m stuck at Berkeley. Go bears. -Jeff
