Knovel database is a good one for chemists and engineers alike. Full of properties information, conversion tables, and explantions of equations. Not sure on costs though.

Same - it is impenetrable! There were recommendations published in 2009 iupac.org/project/2009... buts seems to largely be ignored. #chemsky

At #EuroMOF2025. The sheer number of MOFs named after uni/company, changing the number when only difference is metal ion used to make the MOF and name gives no indication what the chemical composition is from "xxMOF-n" shows that we need a standardised nomenclature desperately. #IUPAC #chemsky #MOFs

We hope this work will support design rules for future sensors. A fantastic team effort and well done to all involved!

This collaboration involves a global team effort to unravel the effect of metal ions on fluorescent sensing capabilities. Spoiler alert ⚠️ Al is excellent whereas Cr is a poor sensor.

Today at #EuroMOFYSS @valubelu.bsky.social will be presenting our recent paper on SO2 sensing using MFM-300 MOFs. On Tue #EuroMOF2025 Hashim will present his work towards this. For more information see our paper below.

Totally agree. If there's words, I'll sing rather than do what I am supposed to be doing, especially if it's a familiar song. I'm OK with wordless songs though, familiar or not.

On the train providing feedback to thesis chapters. Movie sound tracks are blasting out of my headphones. Under the stars by Hans Zimmer & Moana are favourites. Anyone else want to share their favourite music to listen to while reviewing theses, papers, etc? #chemsky the more unusual, the better!
