CURATED covalent organic frameworks database

DOI 10.24435/materialscloud:z6-jn

A database of Covalent-Organic Frameworks (COFs) experimentally reported, provided with DFT-optimized geometry and DDEC partial charges for molecular simulations. They have been evaluated for CO2 capture and storage
About

"Clean, Uniform, Refined with Automatic Tracking from Experimental Database" (CURATED) of Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs).

  • 324 COFs parsed from the literature and conveniently labelled
  • 308 provided with DFT-optimized unit cell and geometry, with DDEC partial charges for molecular simulations (14 excluded because they contain counter-ions, 2 failed the DFT calculation)
  • geometric pore properties computed for both the original and the optimized structures
  • 296 porous COFs evaluated for Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS), considering simulated CO2 and N2 isotherms.

Note: Charged structures (i.e., containing counterions) are excluded from the DFT optimization and non-porous structures are further excluded from CCS evaluation.

Update December 2019
