This conference will be addressing all questions concerning the community working with Metal Organic Frameworks, Metal Coordination Compounds and related materials. The spectrum of topics will range from synthesis and characterization of new materials to properties of materials towards potential applications in biology/medicine, catalysis, magnetism, luminescence and sorption.

Both experimental and theoretical aspects will be dealt with, along with key questions pertaining to potential industrial applications of this fascinating family of materials.

 i   Dr. M. Thommes (Quantachrome's Director of Applied Science) will give a talk entitled: "Adsorption Behavior and Textural Characterization of Novel Open Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)", authored by J. Moellmer, C.Thibault, R. Luebke, A. Cairns, F. Nour, M. Eddaoudi, R. Staudt, and M. Thommes and reflects work performed in a colloboration between Quantachrome (USA), Institute for Nonclassical Chemistry (Leipzig, Germany), University of South Florida (USA), and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Saudi_Arabia).

 i  Quantachrome Instruments is pleased to be able to provide financial support of this event.

 i  The exciting new autosorb-iQ analyzer, which is redefining gas sorption measurements, will be displayed at this meeting.
