coremof-tools 0.3.5

Python API for CoRE MOF DB

Develop by Guobin Zhao

The CoRE MOF database can be found in Zenodo

Installation

This API includes tools developed to collect, curate, and classify Computation-Ready, Experimental MOF database.
a. You need to install the CSD software and python API before downloading the full CoRE MOF database.
b. For using CoREMOF.calculation.Zeopp, you need to input conda install -c conda-forge zeopp-lsmo to install Zeo++.
c. For using CoREMOF.get_mofid, you need to install MOFid following the manual.
d. For using CoREMOF.mof_check, you need to install MOFChecker by input pip install git+https://github.com/sxm13/mofchecker_2.0.git@main.

Examples

Available at Github and CoRE MOF Website to view examples.
