The topic of this thesis is the thermodynamical, mechanical and adsorptive behavior of Soft Porous Crystals (SPCs). Porous metal-organic frameworks (MOF) are a novel class of crystalline materials with promising industrial applications such as gas adsorption and separation processes. The Soft Porous Crystals feature dynamic frameworks displaying reversible structural deformations of large amplitude in response to external physical constraints such as temperature, mechanical pressure or gas adsorption. I have developed a new methodology based on classical and quantum calculations in order to study these flexible metal-organic frameworks. I first studied the mechanical properties of different SPCs in order to link the local elastic behaviour ...
