Abstract
A detailed chemical understanding of H2 interactions with binding sites in the nanoporous crystalline structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can lay a sound basis for the design of new sorbent materials. Computational quantum chemical calculations can aid in this quest. To set the stage, we review general thermodynamic considerations that control the usable storage capacity of a sorbent. We then discuss cluster modeling of H2 ligation at MOF binding sites using state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and how the binding can be understood using energy decomposition analysis (EDA). Employing these tools, we illustrate the connections between the character of the MOF binding site and the associated adsorption thermodynamics using four experimentally characterized MOFs, highlighting the role of open metal sites (OMSs) in accessing binding strengths relevant to room temperature storage. The sorbents are MOF-5, with no open metal sites, Ni2(m-dobdc), containing Lewis acidic Ni(II) sites, Cu(I)-MFU-4l, containing π basic Cu(I) sites and V2Cl2.8(btdd), also containing π-basic V(II) sites. We next explore the potential for binding multiple H2 molecules at a single metal site, with thermodynamics useful for storage at ambient temperature; a materials design goal which has not yet been experimentally demonstrated. Computations on Ca2+ or Mg2+ bound to catecholate or Ca2+ bound to porphyrin show the potential for binding up to 4 H2; there is precedent for the inclusion of both catecholate and porphyrin motifs in MOFs. Turning to transition metals, we discuss the prediction that two H2 molecules can bind at V(II)-MFU-4l, a material that has been synthesized with solvent coordinated to the V(II) site. Additional calculations demonstrate binding three equivalents of hydrogen per OMS in Sc(I) or Ti(I)-exchanged MFU-4l. Overall, the results suggest promising prospects for experimentally realizing higher capacity hydrogen storage MOFs, if nontrivial synthetic and desolvation challenges can be overcome. Coupled with the unbounded chemical diversity of MOFs, there is ample scope for additional exploration and discovery.

Abstract
Hexane isomers play a vital role as feedstocks and fuel additives in the petrochemical industry. However, their similar physical and chemical properties lead to significant challenges in the separation process. Traditional thermal separation techniques are energy-intensive and lead to significant carbon footprint penalties. As such, there is a growing demand for the development of less energy-intensive nonthermal separation methods. Adsorption-based separation methods, such as using solid sorbents or membranes, have emerged as promising alternatives to distillation. Here, we report the successful synthesis of two novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), NU-2004 and NU-2005, by incorporating a carborane-based three-dimensional (3D) linker and using aluminum and vanadium nodes, respectively. These MOFs exhibit exceptional thermal stability and structural rigidity compared to other MIL-53 analogues, which is further corroborated using synchrotron studies. Furthermore, the inclusion of the quasi-spherical 3D linker in NU-2004 demonstrates significant advancements in the separation of hexane isomers compared to other MIL MOFs containing two-dimensional (2D) and aliphatic 3D linkers.

Abstract
This work is devoted to the development of quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models using various regression analyses to predict propylene (C3H6) adsorption capacity at various pressures in zeolites from a topologically diverse International Zeolite Association database. Based on univariate and multilinear regression analysis, the accessible volume and largest cavity diameter are the most crucial factors determining C3H6 uptake at high and low pressures, respectively. An artificial neural network (ANN) model with five structural descriptors is sufficient to predict C3H6 uptake at high pressures. For combined pressures, the prediction of an ANN model with pore size distribution is pleasing. The isosteric heat of adsorption (Q st) has a significant impact on the improvement of the prediction of low-pressure gas adsorption, which finely classifies zeolites into high or low C3H6 adsorbers. The conjunction of high-throughput screening and QSPR models contributes to being able to prescreen the database rapidly and accurately for top performers and perform further detailed and time-consuming computational-intensive molecular simulations on these candidates for other gas adsorption applications.

Abstract
Despite recommendations from the 2015 International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) technical report, surface areas of porous materials continue to be characterized by an N2 adsorption isotherm using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. In this study, we provide the basis for such a practice by carrying out systematic large-scale molecular simulations on homogeneous and heterogeneous model surfaces. Specifically, we investigated the purported "orientational effect" of the N2 molecule on these surfaces. Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation results from 257 diverse metal-organic frameworks show that the BET areas from Ar and N2 are similar in the range of 250-7500 m2/g with a mean deviation of 4%. Detailed analyses based on the consistency criteria for BET equations reveal that the large deviation (>10%) between the BET areas from Ar and N2 are materials specific and more prone to materials that are not able to satisfy the 3 and 4 consistency criteria. For materials that satisfy all four consistency criteria, the BET areas predicted from Ar and N2 isotherms are comparable.

Abstract
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) gasification coupled with adsorbed natural gas (ANG) charging (LNG-ANG coupling) is an emerging strategy for efficient delivery of natural gas. However, the potential of LNG-ANG to attain the advanced research projects agency-energy (ARPA-E) target for onboard methane storage has not been fully investigated. In this work, large-scale computational screening is performed for 5446 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and over 193 MOFs whose methane working capacities exceed the target (315 cm3 (STP) cm-3 ) are identified. Furthermore, structure-performance relationships are realized under the LNG-ANG condition using a machine learning method. Additional molecular dynamics simulations are conducted to investigate the effects of the structural changes during temperature and pressure swings, further narrowing down the materials, and two synthetic targets are identified. The synthesized DUT-23(Cu) and DUT-23(Co) show higher working capacities (≈373 cm3 (STP) cm-3 ) than that of any other porous material under ANG or LNG-ANG conditions, and excellent stability during cyclic LNG-ANG operation.

Abstract
Machine learning (ML) has gained extensive attention in recent years due to its powerful data analysis capabilities. It has been successfully applied to many fields and helped the researchers to achieve several major theoretical and applied breakthroughs. Some of the notable applications in the field of computational nanotechnology are ML potentials, property prediction, and material discovery. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art research progress in these three fields. ML potentials bridge the efficiency versus accuracy gap between density functional calculations and classical molecular dynamics. For property predictions, ML provides a robust method that eliminates the need for repetitive calculations for different simulation setups. Material design and drug discovery assisted by ML greatly reduce the capital and time investment by orders of magnitude. In this perspective, several common ML potentials and ML models are first introduced. Using these state-of-the-art models, developments in property predictions and material discovery are overviewed. Finally, this paper was concluded with an outlook on future directions of data-driven research activities in computational nanotechnology.

Abstract
We describe an updated algorithm for efficiently exploring structure-property spaces relating to physisorption of gases in porous materials. This algorithm uses previously described "pseudomaterials," which are crystals of randomly arranged and parameterized Lennard-Jones spheres, and combines it with a new iterative mutation exploration method. This algorithm is significantly more efficient at sampling the structure-property space than previously reported methods. For the sake of benchmarking to prior work, we apply this method to exploring methane adsorption at 35 bars (298 K) and void fraction as the main structure-property combination. We demonstrate the effect and importance of the changes that were required to increase efficiency over prior methods. The most important changes were (1) using "discrete" mutations less often, (2) decreasing degrees of freedom, and (3) removing biasing from mutations on bounded parameters.

Abstract
Experimental and theoretical studies disagree on the energetics of methane adsorption on carbon materials. However, this information is critical for the rational design and optimization of the structure and composition of adsorbents for natural gas storage. The delicate nature of dispersion interactions, polarization of both the adsorbent and the adsorbate, interplay between H-bonding and tetrel bonding, and induced dipole/Coulomb interactions inherent to methane physisorption require computational treatment at the highest possible level of theory. In this study, we employed the smallest reasonable computational model, a maquette of porous carbon surfaces with a central site for substitution and methane binding. The most accurate predictions of methane adsorption energetics were achieved by electron-correlated molecular orbital theory CCSD(T) and hybrid density functional theory MN15 calculations employing a saturated, all-electron basis set. The characteristic geometry of methane adsorption on a carbon surface ("lander approach") arises due to bonding interactions of the adsorbent π-system with the proximal H-C bonds of methane, in addition to tetrel bonding between the antibonding orbital of the distal C-H bond and the central atom of the maquette (C, B, or N). The polarization of the electron density, structural deformations, and the comprehensive energetic analysis clearly indicate a ∼3 kJ mol-1 preference for methane binding on the N-substituted maquette. The B-substituted maquette showed a comparable or lower binding energy than the unsubstituted, pure C model, depending on the level of theory employed. The calculated thermodynamic results indicate a strategy for incorporating electron-enriched substitutions (e.g., N) into carbon materials as a way to increase methane storage capacity over electron-deficient (e.g., B) modifications. The thermochemical analysis was revised for establishing a conceptual agreement between the experimental isosteric heat of adsorption and the binding enthalpies from statistical thermodynamics principles.

Abstract
The acceleration in design of new metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has led scientists to focus on high-throughput computational screening (HTCS) methods to quickly assess the promises of these fascinating materials in various applications. HTCS studies provide a massive amount of structural property and performance data for MOFs, which need to be further analyzed. Recent implementation of machine learning (ML), which is another growing field in research, to HTCS of MOFs has been very fruitful not only for revealing the hidden structure-performance relationships of materials but also for understanding their performance trends in different applications, specifically for gas storage and separation. In this review, we highlight the current state of the art in ML-assisted computational screening of MOFs for gas storage and separation and address both the opportunities and challenges that are emerging in this new field by emphasizing how merging of ML and MOF simulations can be useful.

Abstract
Porous materials are widely employed in a large range of applications, in particular, for storage, separation, and catalysis of fine chemicals. Synthesis, characterization, and pre- and post-synthetic computer simulations are mostly carried out in a piecemeal and ad hoc manner. Whilst high throughput approaches have been used for more than 30 years in the porous material fields, routine integration of experimental and computational processes is only now becoming more established. Herein, important developments are highlighted and emerging challenges for the community identified, including the need to work toward more integrated workflows.

Abstract
By combining metal nodes with organic linkers we can potentially synthesize millions of possible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The fact that we have so many materials opens many exciting avenues but also create new challenges. We simply have too many materials to be processed using conventional, brute force, methods. In this review, we show that having so many materials allows us to use big-data methods as a powerful technique to study these materials and to discover complex correlations. The first part of the review gives an introduction to the principles of big-data science. We show how to select appropriate training sets, survey approaches that are used to represent these materials in feature space, and review different learning architectures, as well as evaluation and interpretation strategies. In the second part, we review how the different approaches of machine learning have been applied to porous materials. In particular, we discuss applications in the field of gas storage and separation, the stability of these materials, their electronic properties, and their synthesis. Given the increasing interest of the scientific community in machine learning, we expect this list to rapidly expand in the coming years.

Abstract
An open question in the metal hydride community is whether there are simple, physics-based design rules that dictate the thermodynamic properties of these materials across the variety of structures and chemistry they can exhibit. While black box machine learning-based algorithms can predict these properties with some success, they do not directly provide the basis on which these predictions are made, therefore complicating the a priori design of novel materials exhibiting a desired property value. In this work we demonstrate how feature importance, as identified by a gradient boosting tree regressor, uncovers the strong dependence of the metal hydride equilibrium H2 pressure on a volume-based descriptor that can be computed from just the elemental composition of the intermetallic alloy. Elucidation of this simple structure-property relationship is valid across a range of compositions, metal substitutions, and structural classes exhibited by intermetallic hydrides. This permits rational targeting of novel intermetallics for high-pressure hydrogen storage (low-stability hydrides) by their descriptor values, and we predict a known intermetallic to form a low-stability hydride (as confirmed by density functional theory calculations) that has not yet been experimentally investigated.

Abstract
Vast numbers of unstudied hypothetical porous frameworks continue to spark interest in optimizing adsorption and catalytic processes. Evaluating the use of such materials depends on the accessibility of thermodynamic metrics such as the free energy, which, in turn, depend on the satisfactory estimation or calculation of the adsorption entropy, which often remains elusive. Previous works using simulations and experimental data have demonstrated relationships between the entropy and system descriptors, allowing for sensible predictions based on more-easily obtained physical parameters. However, the resultant conclusions were either based on experimental data for industrially relevant alkanes or lacked a significant sample size. In this paper, we evaluate correlations between gas-phase and adsorbed-phase entropies for a larger and more chemically diverse set of adsorbate molecules by using force fields and statistical mechanical expressions to calculate those entropies. In total, we perform calculations for 37 molecules across 10 chemical categories available in the TraPPE force field set, as adsorbed in five siliceous zeolites. Our results show that linear correlations between the gas- and adsorbed-phase entropies persist for the larger and diverse set of adsorbate molecules studied here, proving a broader applicability and justifying the use of simple correlations for many adsorbates and, presumably, adsorbent materials.

Abstract
In this work, we propose a computational framework for machine learning prediction on structural and performance properties of nanoporous materials for methane storage application. For our machine learning prediction, two descriptors based on pore geometry barcodes were developed; one descriptor is a set of distances from a structure to the most diverse set in barcode space, and the second descriptor extracts and uses the most important features from the barcodes. First, to identify the optimal condition for machine learning prediction, the effects of training set preparation method, training set size, and machine learning models were investigated. Our analysis showed that kernel ridge regression provides the highest prediction accuracy, and randomly selected 5% structures of the entire set would work well as a training set. Our results showed that both descriptors accurately predicted performance and even structural properties of zeolites. Furthermore, we demonstrated that our approach predicts accurately properties of metal-organic frameworks, which might indicate the possibility of this approach to be easily applied to predict the properties of other types of nanoporous materials.

Abstract
A recent report from the United Nations has warned about the excessive CO2 emissions and the necessity of making efforts to keep the increase in global temperature below 2 °C. Current CO2 capture technologies are inadequate for reaching that goal, and effective mitigation strategies must be pursued. In this work, we summarize trends in materials development for CO2 adsorption with focus on recent studies. We put adsorbent materials into four main groups: (I) carbon-based materials, (II) silica/alumina/zeolites, (III) porous crystalline solids, and (IV) metal oxides. Trends in computational investigations along with experimental findings are covered to find promising candidates in light of practical challenges imposed by process economics.

Abstract
Switchable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been proposed for various energy-related storage and separation applications, but the mechanistic understanding of adsorption-induced switching transitions is still at an early stage. Here we report critical design criteria for negative gas adsorption (NGA), a counterintuitive feature of pressure amplifying materials, hitherto uniquely observed in a highly porous framework compound (DUT-49). These criteria are derived by analysing the physical effects of micromechanics, pore size, interpenetration, adsorption enthalpies, and the pore filling mechanism using advanced in situ X-ray and neutron diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, and calorimetric techniques parallelised to adsorption for a series of six isoreticular networks. Aided by computational modelling, we identify DUT-50 as a new pressure amplifying material featuring distinct NGA transitions upon methane and argon adsorption. In situ neutron diffraction analysis of the methane (CD4) adsorption sites at 111 K supported by grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations reveals a sudden population of the largest mesopore to be the critical filling step initiating structural contraction and NGA. In contrast, interpenetration leads to framework stiffening and specific pore volume reduction, both factors effectively suppressing NGA transitions.

Abstract
![]()
For large-scale screening studies
there is a need to estimate the
diffusion of gas molecules in nanoporous materials more efficiently
than (brute force) molecular dynamics. In particular for systems with
low diffusion coefficients molecular dynamics can be prohibitively
expensive. An alternative is to compute the hopping rates between
adsorption sites using transition state theory. For large-scale screening
this requires the automatic detection of the transition states between
the adsorption sites along the different diffusion paths. Here an
algorithm is presented that analyzes energy grids for the moving particles.
It detects the energies at which diffusion paths are formed, together
with their directions. This allows for easy identification of nondiffusive
systems. For diffusive systems, it partitions the grid coordinates
assigned to energy basins and transitions states, permitting a transition
state theory based analysis of the diffusion. We test our method on
CH4 diffusion in zeolites, using a standard kinetic Monte
Carlo simulation based on the output of our grid analysis. We find
that it is accurate, fast, and rigorous without limitations to the
geometries of the diffusion tunnels or transition states.

Abstract
![]()
The
materials genome initiative has led to the creation of a large (over
a million) database of different classes of nanoporous materials.
As the number of hypothetical materials that can, in principle, be
experimentally synthesized is infinite, a bottleneck in the use of
these databases for the discovery of novel materials is the lack of
efficient computational tools to analyze them. Current approaches
use brute-force molecular simulations to generate thermodynamic data
needed to predict the performance of these materials in different
applications, but this approach is limited to the analysis of tens
of thousands of structures due to computational intractability. As
such, it is conceivable and even likely that the best nanoporous materials
for any given application have yet to be discovered both experimentally
and theoretically. In this article, we seek a computational approach
to tackle this issue by transitioning away from brute-force characterization
to high-throughput screening methods based on big-data analysis, using
the zeolite database as an example. For identifying and comparing
zeolites, we used a topological data analysis-based descriptor (TD)
recognizing pore shapes. For methane storage and carbon capture applications,
our analyses seeking pairs of highly similar zeolites discovered good
correlations between performance properties of a seed zeolite and
the corresponding pair, which demonstrates the capability of TD to
predict performance properties. It was also shown that when some top
zeolites are known, TD can be used to detect other high-performing
materials as their neighbors with high probability. Finally, we performed
high-throughput screening of zeolites based on TD. For methane storage
(or carbon capture) applications, the promising sets from our screenings
contained high-percentages of top-performing zeolites: 45% (or 23%)
of the top 1% zeolites in the entire set. This result shows that our
screening approach using TD is highly efficient in finding high-performing
materials. We expect that this approach could easily be extended to
other applications by simply adjusting one parameter, the size of
the target gas molecule.

Abstract
Using molecular simulation for adsorbent screening is computationally expensive and thus prohibitive to materials discovery. Machine learning (ML) algorithms trained on fundamental material properties can potentially provide quick and accurate methods for screening purposes. Prior efforts have focused on structural descriptors for use with ML. In this work, the use of chemical descriptors, in addition to structural descriptors, was introduced for adsorption analysis. Evaluation of structural and chemical descriptors coupled with various ML algorithms, including decision tree, Poisson regression, support vector machine and random forest, were carried out to predict methane uptake on hypothetical metal organic frameworks. To highlight their predictive capabilities, ML models were trained on 8% of a data set consisting of 130,398 MOFs and then tested on the remaining 92% to predict methane adsorption capacities. When structural and chemical descriptors were jointly used as ML input, the random forest model with 10-fold cross validation proved to be superior to the other ML approaches, with an R2 of 0.98 and a mean absolute percent error of about 7%. The training and prediction using the random forest algorithm for adsorption capacity estimation of all 130,398 MOFs took approximately 2 h on a single personal computer, several orders of magnitude faster than actual molecular simulations on high-performance computing clusters.

Abstract
The current state of the art in the application of variable-temperature IR (VTIR) spectroscopy to the study of (i) adsorption sites in zeolites, including dual cation sites; (ii) the structure of adsorption complexes and (iii) gas-solid interaction energy is reviewed. The main focus is placed on the potential use of zeolites for gas separation, purification and transport, but possible extension to the field of heterogeneous catalysis is also envisaged. A critical comparison with classical IR spectroscopy and adsorption calorimetry shows that the main merits of VTIR spectroscopy are (i) its ability to provide simultaneously the spectroscopic signature of the adsorption complex and the standard enthalpy change involved in the adsorption process; and (ii) the enhanced potential of VTIR to be site specific in favorable cases.

Abstract
In most applications of nanoporous materials the pore structure is as important as the chemical composition as a determinant of performance. For example, one can alter performance in applications like carbon capture or methane storage by orders of magnitude by only modifying the pore structure. For these applications it is therefore important to identify the optimal pore geometry and use this information to find similar materials. However, the mathematical language and tools to identify materials with similar pore structures, but different composition, has been lacking. We develop a pore recognition approach to quantify similarity of pore structures and classify them using topological data analysis. This allows us to identify materials with similar pore geometries, and to screen for materials that are similar to given top-performing structures. Using methane storage as a case study, we also show that materials can be divided into topologically distinct classes requiring different optimization strategies. Pore structure plays an important role in dictating gas storage performance for nanoporous materials. Here, Smit and colleagues develop a topological approach to quantify pore structure similarity, and exploit the resulting descriptor to screen for materials that possess structural similarities with top-performers.

Abstract
The Materials Genome is in action: the molecular codes for millions of materials have been sequenced, predictive models have been developed, and now the challenge of hydrogen storage is targeted. Renewably generated hydrogen is an attractive transportation fuel with zero carbon emissions, but its storage remains a significant challenge. Nanoporous adsorbents have shown promising physical adsorption of hydrogen approaching targeted capacities, but the scope of studies has remained limited. Here the Nanoporous Materials Genome, containing over 850 000 materials, is analyzed with a variety of computational tools to explore the limits of hydrogen storage. Optimal features that maximize net capacity at room temperature include pore sizes of around 6 Å and void fractions of 0.1, while at cryogenic temperatures pore sizes of 10 Å and void fractions of 0.5 are optimal. Our top candidates are found to be commercially attractive as "cryo-adsorbents", with promising storage capacities at 77 K and 100 bar with 30% enhancement to 40 g/L, a promising alternative to liquefaction at 20 K and compression at 700 bar.

Abstract
Some nanoporous, crystalline materials possess dynamic constituents, for example, rotatable moieties. These moieties can undergo a conformation change in response to the adsorption of guest molecules, which qualitatively impacts adsorption behavior. We pose and solve a statistical mechanical model of gas adsorption in a porous crystal whose cages share a common ligand that can adopt two distinct rotational conformations. Guest molecules incentivize the ligands to adopt a different rotational configuration than maintained in the empty host. Our model captures inflections, steps, and hysteresis that can arise in the adsorption isotherm as a signature of the rotating ligands. The insights disclosed by our simple model contribute a more intimate understanding of the response and consequence of rotating ligands integrated into porous materials to harness them for gas storage and separations, chemical sensing, drug delivery, catalysis, and nanoscale devices. Particularly, our model reveals design strategies to exploit these moving constituents and engineer improved adsorbents with intrinsic thermal management for pressure-swing adsorption processes.

Abstract
For nanoporous materials at the characterization level, geometry-based approaches have become the methods of choice to provide information, often encoded in numerical descriptors, about the pores and the channels of a porous material. Examples of most common descriptors of the latter are pore limiting diameters, accessible surface area and accessible volume. The geometry-based methods exploit hard-sphere approximation for atoms, which (1) reduces costly computations of the interatomic interactions between the probe guest molecule and the porous material framework atoms, (2) effectively exploit applied mathematics methods such as Voronoi decomposition to represent and characterize porosity. In this work, we revisit and quantify the shortcoming of the geometry-based approaches. To do so, we have developed a series of algorithms to calculate pore descriptors such as void fraction, accessible surface area, pore limiting diameters (largest included sphere, and largest free sphere) based on a classical force field model of interactions between the guest and the framework atoms. Our resulting energy-based methods are tested on diverse sets of metal-organic frameworks and zeolite structures and comparisons against results obtained from geometric-based method indicate deviations in the cases for structures with small pore sizes. The method provides both high accuracy and performance making it suitable when screening a large database of materials.

Abstract
One of the limitations to the widespread use of hydrogen as an energy carrier is its storage in a safe and compact form. Herein, recent developments in effective high-capacity hydrogen storage materials are reviewed, with a special emphasis on light compounds, including those based on organic porous structures, boron, nitrogen, and aluminum. These elements and their related compounds hold the promise of high, reversible, and practical hydrogen storage capacity for mobile applications, including vehicles and portable power equipment, but also for the large scale and distributed storage of energy for stationary applications. Current understanding of the fundamental principles that govern the interaction of hydrogen with these light compounds is summarized, as well as basic strategies to meet practical targets of hydrogen uptake and release. The limitation of these strategies and current understanding is also discussed and new directions proposed.

Abstract
Zeolites play numerous important roles in modern petroleum refineries and have the potential to advance the production of fuels and chemical feedstocks from renewable resources. The performance of a zeolite as separation medium and catalyst depends on its framework structure. To date, 213 framework types have been synthesized and >330,000 thermodynamically accessible zeolite structures have been predicted. Hence, identification of optimal zeolites for a given application from the large pool of candidate structures is attractive for accelerating the pace of materials discovery. Here we identify, through a large-scale, multi-step computational screening process, promising zeolite structures for two energy-related applications: the purification of ethanol from fermentation broths and the hydroisomerization of alkanes with 18-30 carbon atoms encountered in petroleum refining. These results demonstrate that predictive modelling and data-driven science can now be applied to solve some of the most challenging separation problems involving highly non-ideal mixtures and highly articulated compounds.

Abstract
Porous polymer networks (PPNs) are a class of advanced porous materials that combine the advantages of cheap and stable polymers with the high surface areas and tunable chemistry of metal-organic frameworks. They are of particular interest for gas separation or storage applications, for instance, as methane adsorbents for a vehicular natural gas tank or other portable applications. PPNs are self-assembled from distinct building units; here, we utilize commercially available chemical fragments and two experimentally known synthetic routes to design in silico a large database of synthetically realistic PPN materials. All structures from our database of 18,000 materials have been relaxed with semiempirical electronic structure methods and characterized with Grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulations for methane uptake and deliverable (working) capacity. A number of novel structure-property relationships that govern methane storage performance were identified. The relationships are translated into experimental guidelines to realize the ideal PPN structure. We found that cooperative methane-methane attractions were present in all of the best-performing materials, highlighting the importance of guest interaction in the design of optimal materials for methane storage.
