MOFSynth

MOFSynth is a Python package for MOF synthesizability evaluation, with emphasis on reticular chemistry.

In materials science, especially in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a significant portion of time and effort is spent on the experimental process of synthesizing and evaluating the viability of MOFs.

MOFSynth aims to provide a simple and efficient interface for evaluating the synthesizability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in an experiment-ready format, minimizing the time and labor traditionally required for these experimental preprocessing steps. This allows researchers to focus more on innovative synthesis and experimental validation rather than on preparatory tasks.

⚙️ Installation

It is strongly recommended to perform the installation inside a virtual environment.

python -m venv <venvir_name>
source <venvir_name>/bin/activate

pip install mofsynth

Requires

To run MOFSynth, the following modules and tools must be present in your system:

1. mofid v1.1.0: A Python library for MOF identification and characterization.
2. TURBOMOLE v6.5: A computational chemistry program package.

💻 Browser-Based MOFSynth
