A New Zirconium Inorganic Building Brick Forming Metal Organic Frameworks with Exceptional Stability.

The article reports on the building brick made of zirconium, an inorganic material. It mentions that zirconium is more stable for buildings compared to other metal organic frameworks (MOFs) since it is upgradable and controllable. The researchers use the 12-coordination of MOFs that is the expanded...

Description
Summary:	The article reports on the building brick made of zirconium, an inorganic material. It mentions that zirconium is more stable for buildings compared to other metal organic frameworks (MOFs) since it is upgradable and controllable. The researchers use the 12-coordination of MOFs that is the expanded version of metal structure.
