The workshop, “Introduction to a New Class of Porous Materials called MOFs and their Applications”, was held in the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH), in the city of Lima, Peru. Between 9 and 13 of July, 42 students with different backgrounds had the opportunity to learn about reticular chemistry, basic topology concepts applied to MOFs, synthetic strategies, functionalization and material’s application in water harvesting, selective CO2 capture, enzyme-inspired heterogeneous catalysis, drug delivery, crystallography without crystals, among others. The students from two different countries had the chance to observe two different synthetic procedures to obtain HKUST-1 and MOF-5 crystals and participated actively on the proposed activities on the chemistry and application of metal-organic frameworks. – 07/2018
