| Metal-organic frameworks have been gaining considerable interest in recent years due to their potential use in fields as diverse as gas sorption, chemical separation, and catalysis. Most attention has been focused on transition metal-carboxylate frameworks, with very few studies into main group derivatives. Our interest lies in using s-block metals in the design of novel frameworks using small ligands. This approach offers a route to potentially lightweight materials for use in small molecule separations or reversible gas storage. Furthermore, we are also interested in incorporating chiral ligands into the framework for purposes such as chiral molecule separations. We report here on the structures of alkaline earth metal-organic frameworks with investigations into their permanent porosity and uses in small molecule uptake.
