Quantifying the Uncertainty of Force Field Selection on Adsorption Predictions in MOFs.

Comparisons between simulated and experimental adsorption isotherms in MOFs are fraught with challenges. On the experimental side, there is significant variation between isotherms measured on the same system, with a significant percentage (∼20%) of published data being considered outliers. On the simulation side, force fields are often chosen "off-the-shelf" with little or no validation.
