Omar Yaghi opens up second day with candid insights into COF discovery, including a Romeo and Juliet story #POLYMATsptl 
Diamondoid frameworks will always be interpenetrated because of the self dual nature of diamond says Omar #POLYMATsptl
It turns out Donglin Jiang scooped Omar on the phenazine COFs #POLYMATsptl
Flexible MOFs have inherent flaw of having to go through thousands of cycles when used in industry and that the flexible linker design is not right, says Omar. But you could publish good papers, he adds. #POLYMATsptl
Threads of threads on threads, interwoven demetalated imine COFs could yield improved mechanical properties and amorphous networks says Omar. And he didn’t care about crystallinity because he wanted flexibility. #POLYMATsptl
Omar finishes his talk with his recent work coming out soon in Science where aniline acts as a modulator to get single crystal COFs #POLYMATsptl
