Compare framework identity and activation conditions before using surface-area figures to shortlist samples. #### ZIF-8 powder zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 powder (ZIF-8) [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Zn(C4H5N2)2 #### ZIF-67 powder zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 powder (ZIF-67) [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Co(C4H5N2)2 ### UiO frameworks Keep UiO-66 and amino-functionalized UiO-66-NH2 distinct. Functionalization and residual solvent belong in the requested identity and supplied condition. #### UiO-66 powder UiO-66 zirconium-based metal-organic framework powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Zr6O4(OH)4(C8H4O4)6 #### UiO-66-NH2 powder amino-functionalized UiO-66 powder (UiO-66-NH2) metal-organic framework [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Zr6O4(OH)4(C8H5NO4)6 ### Other porous research materials HKUST-1, MIL-101(Cr) and mesoporous silica are different structures. The target adsorbate or reaction helps define the pore and activation data needed. #### HKUST-1 powder HKUST-1 powder (Cu-BTC) copper-based metal-organic framework [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Cu3(C9H3O6)2 #### MIL-101(Cr) powder MIL-101(Cr) chromium-based metal-organic framework powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() [Cr3O(X)(C8H4O4)3(H2O)2]·nH2O; X = OH or F #### Mesoporous silica powder mesoporous silica powder (SiO2) [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() SiO2 ## Material selection guide Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet. **Framework identity** Specify the framework name, metal node, linker and any functionalization. A shared name does not establish identical defect chemistry or phase content. **Accessible porosity** Request BET, pore-size or adsorption results together with activation, degassing and measurement conditions. **Supplied condition** Clarify guest solvent, activation, moisture sensitivity, particle morphology and storage. The condition of receipt matters to evaluation. ## Before you choose **Does a high surface-area figure predict my adsorption result?** It does not establish selectivity or working performance in your system. Compare activation, measurement conditions and the target adsorbate before selecting a framework. **What does this directory cover?** A generic porous label does not make activated carbon, zeolite and a MOF the same material. Shaped pellets and loose powder are also distinct supply forms. ## What to include in your request A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know. - Framework name, node, linker and modification - Particle size and phase-identification needs - BET/pore data and pretreatment method - Activation, residual solvent and storage state ### Quantity, samples and documents Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums. We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements. [How we coordinate documents]() [Samples and testing]() [Send a material request]() ## Applications to explore.
