An exciting advance in materials science is the discovery of hybrid organic–inorganic solids known as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Although they have numerous important applications, the local structures, specific molecular-level features, and guest behaviors underpinning desirable properties and applications are often unknown. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) is a powerful tool for MOF characterization as it provides information complementary to that from X-ray diffraction (XRD). We describe our novel pursuits in the three primary applications of SSNMR for MOF characterization: interrogating the metal center, targeting linker molecules, and probing guests.

金属有机骨架的表征：释放固态NMR的潜力

材料科学的一个令人振奋的进步是发现了被称为金属有机骨架（MOF）的有机-无机杂化杂物。尽管它们具有许多重要的应用程序，但支持所需特性和应用程序的局部结构，特定的分子水平特征和客体行为通常是未知的。固态核磁共振（SSNMR）是MOF表征的强大工具，因为它提供的信息与X射线衍射（XRD）的信息互补。我们在SSNMR的MOF表征的三个主要应用中描述了我们的新颖追求：询问金属中心，靶向连接分子和探测来宾。
