Moesia

Moesia (Μυσία) was a Thracian-inhabited district and Roman province along the middle and lower Danube, in modern Serbia and Bulgaria. Divided into Moesia Superior and Inferior, it was a garrisoned frontier province with legionary fortresses such as Viminacium, Singidunum, and Novae, ending with the Avar and Slav invasions in the early 7th century.

Moesia Oil and Gas Field

The Moesia oil and gas field, part of the Moesian Platform, underlies southern Romania and north-central Bulgaria and holds more than 145 discovered oil and gas fields.

Moesia Superior (mesia superior)

Moesia Superior (Upper Moesia) was the western Roman Danube province created when Moesia was split under Domitian (AD 86), with capital Viminacium, legions at Singidunum and Viminacium, and the Via Militaris to Constantinople.

Moët & Chandon

Moët & Chandon is a French champagne house founded in 1743 by Claude Moët and headquartered in Épernay, one of the world's largest champagne producers.

Moët Hennessy

Moët Hennessy is the wines and spirits division of the French luxury group LVMH, formed in 1971 from the champagne house Moët et Chandon and the cognac house Hennessy.

Moexipril

Moexipril (Univasc) is an oral non-sulfhydryl ACE inhibitor prodrug hydrolyzed to moexiprilat, approved in the US in 1995 for hypertension as 7.5 or 15 mg once-daily tablets, alone or with hydrochlorothiazide.

MOF adsorption heat pumps

A MOF adsorption heat pump is a sorption heating or cooling machine in which a metal-organic framework adsorbent binds and releases water refrigerant to move heat between an evaporator and a condenser.

MOF catalysts for methane-to-methanol

MOF catalysts for methane-to-methanol are porous metal-organic frameworks with isolated copper or iron sites that oxidize methane directly to methanol under mild conditions, an alternative to the high-temperature syngas route.

MOF glasses

MOF glasses are amorphous solids formed from metal-organic frameworks and described as a fourth category of hybrid glass, with most applications in gas separation and ion conduction.

MOF monoliths

MOF monoliths are self-supporting, macroscopic bodies of metal–organic framework (MOF) material, formed as continuous porous solids rather than powders and used as structured adsorbents for gas storage, separation, and carbon capture.

MOF thermoelectrics

MOF thermoelectrics are thermoelectric materials based on metal–organic frameworks, hybrid solids whose porous structure gives very low thermal conductivity and tunable electronic properties for converting heat into electricity.

MOF water harvesting from desert air

MOF water harvesting from desert air captures water vapor in porous metal–organic frameworks overnight and releases it as drinking water using sunlight, pioneered by Omar Yaghi.

MOF-303

MOF-303 is an aluminum-based metal–organic framework introduced at the University of California, Berkeley in 2018 as a water-harvesting sorbent that adsorbs desert air moisture and releases it under mild heating.

MOF-74

MOF-74 is a family of metal-organic frameworks built from divalent metal ions and dobdc linkers, forming hexagonal channels with open metal sites that bind CO2 strongly.

MOF-801

MOF-801 is a microporous zirconium-based metal–organic framework with fumarate linkers, reported by Omar Yaghi's group at Berkeley in 2014 and first applied to atmospheric water harvesting.

MOF-801 water harvester

The MOF-801 water harvester is a solar-powered device that extracts drinkable water from desert air as dry as 10% humidity, first demonstrated in Tempe, Arizona, in 2017.

MOF-808

MOF-808 is a zirconium-based metal–organic framework with Zr6 clusters, large 18.4 Å cavities, and a BET surface area above 2000 m² g⁻¹, first reported in 2014.

MOF-based chemical warfare agent sensors

MOF-based chemical warfare agent sensors are detectors that use porous metal-organic frameworks to capture and signal nerve and blister agents through changes in optical absorbance, luminescence, or conductivity.

MOF-based drug delivery (MIL-100 Fe, MIL-127)

MOF-based drug delivery with MIL-100(Fe) and MIL-127 uses porous iron carboxylate metal-organic frameworks as drug carriers with high loading capacity, controlled release, and good biocompatibility.

MOF-based electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution

MOF-based electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution are electrode materials built from metal-organic frameworks, porous crystalline solids, used to speed the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction that limits water electrolysis.

MOF-based hydrogen isotope separation

MOF-based hydrogen isotope separation uses metal–organic frameworks, porous crystalline solids, to separate hydrogen isotopes through quantum effects in narrow pores and at strong adsorption sites.

MOF-based luminescent sensors

MOF-based luminescent sensors are chemical and biological sensors in which a porous metal–organic framework changes its light emission when it encounters a target analyte, detecting ions, molecules, and gases.

MOF-based mixed-matrix membranes

MOF-based mixed-matrix membranes, or MOF-based MMMs, combine metal-organic framework particles with a polymer matrix to raise both gas permeability and selectivity, chiefly for carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen separation.
