USF inventors have developed novel corrole-based MOFs which possess a very rare (3,9)-c gfy network and feature 1D hexagonal mesoporous open channels. These MOFs have been shown to demonstrate high chemical stability and framework robustness within a wide range of pH values. Further, they are able to capture several gasses including N2, CO2, and CH4. This technology has also exhibited excellent performance as a heterogeneous catalyst. This development not only enriches the family of MOFs, but also paves the way for the development of corrole-functionalized porous materials in a broader range of applications.
