Container structures are ubiquitous in nature, with examples including viruses and various protein assemblies. Researchers at the University of South Dakota have designed and synthesized a series of synthetic container molecules termed metal-organic super-containers (MOSCs) because they are assembled from container precursors, metal ions, and organic...

Electrical Ion Sensors Based on MOSCs

Although metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have proven to be effective for electronic ion sensing, they lack key desirable characteristics such as solution processability due to their insolubility in most common solvents. Metal-organic supercontainers (MOSCs) have a significant advantage over MOFs, as they can be readily dispersed in solution while retaining...
