MIL-53 (Sc) Metal Organic Framework

model 4-9: model 9:

MIL-53(Sc) (Materials of Institut Lavoisier) is a metal organic framework (MOF) made up of scandium and oxygen (ScO₆) with 1,4-benzodicarboxylic acid between the nodes.

This is a flexible MOF which changes pore size and shape upon heating and adsorption of CO₂. The structures were calculated using DFT.
