Potential applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are well-defined and porous extended structures consisting of organic linkers and inorganic building units, have thrived over the last decade. Due to porosity, modularity, crystallinity, flexibility and long-term stability, these applications have extended beyond the more “classical” realm of gas storage, heterogenous catalysis, separation, towards, for instance, areas of nuclear waste administration. Ongoing investigations for a more comprehensive and desirable nuclear waste administration, involve stability studies of different actinide-containing architectures. Fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship of these actinide-based materials is considered pertinent to this investigative progress.<br/>In my talk, I will focus on structurally tunable novel actinide-based MOFs with demonstrated stability on exposure to external stimuli, as well as strategic MOF design of heteronuclear actinide-based MOFs through metal node engineering.
