In order to create ultra-dense molecula r-based memory or control electronic properties of materials at the molecu lar level\, these tiny devices need to be organized in a predictable and o rderly manner. One way to achieve a higher level of molecular organization and coherency would be to precisely place the “soft” dynamic molecular co mponents that undergo motion (e.g. rotation or translation) into the pores of metal organic framework (MOF) materials In this way\, the “soft” MIM w ould be clearly separated from the “hard” structural skeleton of the MOF t hat holds it in place. The small size of a MIM unit (~1 nm3) and the regul arity of a MOF framework would allow for an incredibly high density of dyn amic components in a material. This presentation will describe our newest MOF materials containing MIM linkers capable of rotational and translation al motion.\n\n1.      N. Farahani\, K. Zhu\, C. A. O’Keefe\, R. W. Schurko \, S.
