Abstract Click to copy section linkSection link copied! Incorporating disparate functionalized ligands into phase-pure metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been shown to produce multivariate MOFs (MV-MOFs) whose properties often exceed those of the corresponding linker-pure MOFs. The ability to easily prepare MV-MOFs is due to covalent bonds linking MOF ligands and secondary building units in all three dimensions, leaving ample space for the ligands inside the 3D pores.

Rust is a modern programming language with unique memory safety features that make it particularly suitable for systems programming. Its first stable release (1.0) was in 2015, and since then it's been gradually gaining popularity, especially for low-level programming and performance-critical applications. I've been wanting to learn Rust for a while, and this week I finally took the leap.
