This lecture will ad dress how crystal engineering has evolved from structure design (form) to control over bulk properties (function) with particular emphasis upon unde rexplored classes of porous material.\n\nWhereas porous crystalline materi als such as purely inorganic materials (e.g. zeolites) and those based upo n coordination chemistry (e.g. Metal-Organic Frameworks\, MOFs\, and Porou s Coordination Polymers\, PCPs) are well studied and offer great promise f or separations and catalysis\, they are handicapped by cost or performance (e.g. poor chemical stability\, interference from water vapour\, low sele ctivity) limitations.\n\nHybrid Ultramicroporous Materials\, HUMs\, are bu ilt from metal or metal cluster “nodes” and combinations of organic and in organic “linkers” and their pore chemistry and size (<0.7 nm) can overcome the weaknesses of existing classes of porous  material. Three prototypal families of HUMs that are amenable to fine-tuning will be detailed: (i) Pi llared square grids with pcu topology can afford exceptional control over pore chemistry\, pore size and binding energy for CO2.2 (ii) mmo nets are based upon square grids linked by angular inorganic linkers such as chroma te anions.3 They also offer exceptional performance with respect to captur e of CO2 and other polarizable gases. (iii) Diamondoid (dia) nets are long known in the field4 but little studied with respect to gas adsorption. Ne w results concerning the structure and gas sorption properties of pcu\, mm o and dia nets will be presented. In particular\, their performance with r espect to direct carbon capture from air (Figure) and natural gas storage will be presented and discussed in the context of existing classes of poro us materials.\n\n \n\nReferences\n\n1.
