    I first read about MOFs a few years ago when searching for methods of converting methane into methanol or other high value compounds. They really sound like sci-fi materials. The perfect tailored catalyst for many reactions with astounding efficiency and selectivity. I would agree that they really are miracle materials. Hopefully they will be easy to produce and cheap so we can get on with building transmutation machines. One compound in and another out.

    (2018) Maybe say something about why you submitted this now OP?But more recently, this went on to win the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistry/2025/popular-inf... (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45514164)

    MOF or COF for quantum computing?Maybe "Radical COFs" or "Spintronic COFs", or Carbon-Linked Covalent Organic Frameworks for Spintronics, e.g. GQD Graphene Quantum Dots; GQD-COFs
