Puskuriliuos

Puskuriliuos is a fictional inorganic–organic hybrid material described in speculative science literature and science fiction narratives. The term is not used in real-world chemistry and is commonly employed as a hypothetical example in discussions of porous solids with tunable properties.

In the imagined concept, puskuriliuos consists of metal-oxide clusters linked by flexible organic ligands to form a three-dimensional framework with permanent porosity. The pore sizes are described as adjustable from microporous to mesoporous by altering linker length or degree of cross-linking, enabling selective adsorption and diffusion of molecules.

Synthesis and stability in the fiction typically invoke solvothermal or vapor-assisted methods under elevated temperature and pressure, often within inert atmospheres. The material is portrayed as chemically robust, showing high thermal stability and resistance to moisture, though these traits are hypothetical and not demonstrated in real experiments.

Properties and potential applications include a wide bandgap and nonlinear optical response, making it a candidate for photonic devices, sensors, and energy-storage components. Its porosity is described as offering large surface area for catalysis or gas separation, while the framework provides structural rigidity.

Limitations discussed in these sources emphasize production cost, scalability, and compatibility with existing device architectures. Puskuriliuos is primarily used as a thought experiment or plot device rather than a realized material.

The name puskuriliuos is a coined term in fiction and theory; it has no established etymology in real science.
