Abstract

Molecular Modelling methods have been combined with experimental methods in order to investigate the structure and properties of a range of microporous inorganic-organic hybrid solids. Density Functional Theory (DFT) is shown to reproduce known aluminium phosphonate and zinc carboxylate structures in excellent agreement with those obtained from experiment. A Monte Carlo / simulated annealing protocol highlights the templating role of 1,4-dioxane in the formation of AlMePO-beta. Binding energies and rotational barriers for organic molecules occluded in the zinc-2,6-napthalene dicarboxylate framework show good agreement with observed experimental trends.
