Owing to their high permanent porosity and tunable pore surface chemistry, metal-organic frameworks are promising candidates for a variety of gas storage and separation applications. However, the discovery of reaction conditions under which these compounds are formed often requires the careful tuning of a large number of parameters. Here, we discuss recent progress in the development and implementation of a new high-throughput methodology for the rapid discovery and characterization of new metal-organic frameworks, and present a number of case studies in which this workflow has led to the identification of materials with promising performance for applications such as hydrogen storage and CO2 capture.
