In this video, CCDC Senior Scientific Editor, Seth Wiggin, walks through how to create visualisations of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for your papers and other publications using the CSD MOF Collection. The CSD MOF collection contains over 10,000 MOF crystal structures available to use for free in academic research.
