 Why
do you think your paper is highly cited?
The article describes a relatively new family of hybrid
open-framework structures with variety as well as potential
applications—e.g., hydrogen storage.
Does
it describe a new discovery or new methodology that's useful to
others?
The article provides several new insights into these design
principles and suggests several strategies for the synthesis of new
materials.
Could
you summarize the significance of your paper in layman's terms?
Here are materials made of simple organic compounds—metal salts
of organic acids—which can be not only interesting academically
but also have useful applications.
How
did you become involved in this research?
I have been interested in inorganic open architectures for some
time. In particular, I have been exploring how and why such
architectures are formed.
