The attractive feature of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) is that by changing the ligand and/or metal, they can be chemically tuned to perform optimally for a given application. This unique chemical tunability allows us to tailor-make materials that are optimal for a given application. The promise of finding just the right material seems remote however: because of practical limitations we can only ever synthesize, characterize, and test a tiny fraction of all possible materials. To take full advantage of this development, therefore, we need to develop alternative techniques, collectively referred to as Materials Genomics, to rapidly screen large numbers of materials and obtain fundamental insights into the chemical nature of the ideal material for a given application.<br/> <br/>In this presentation we focus on how to identify the optimal material to capture CO2 for a given source and sink of CO2. By using process informed screening studies, we aim to gain insights in the materials characteristics that are optimal for a given separation process.
