Metal-Organic Frameworks Properties Repository for Integrated Mechanical and PiezoElectric Data [ MOFPrime ]
A Database of Metal-Organic Frameworks with DFT-derived Elastic and Piezoelectric Properties
Welcome to the MOFPrime Database!
This is an ongoing open-access project that contains DFT-calculated electromechanical properties of functional crystalline materials, with a particular emphasis on small metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These materials are of growing interest for piezoelectric and mechanical applications, and we encourage you to explore the database to identify promising MOF candidates for experimental growth and characterisation.
Our dataset also includes a wide selection of small biomolecular crystals, suitable for benchmarking, materials screening or further computational analysis. Are you a computational chemist? Download some CIFs and let us know how your predictions compare! Do you work with photosalient materials? Check out our in-silicostress-strain curves.
If you'd like your published or unpublished data uploaded to this database, contact sarah.guerin@ul.ie and shubham.vishnoi@ul.ie. We also welcome feedback on the site's usability, as well as suggestions for new MOFs or functional crystal structures to include in future screenings. A preprint with full methodology and discussion will be available to cite in the coming weeks if you choose to use this database for your research.
