Metal–Organic Frameworks

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Gas Sensor Materials

Part of the book series: Integrated Analytical Systems ((ANASYS))

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be ascribed to the class of metallo-complexes (MC) discussed in previous chapter. MOFs, also referred to as porous coordination polymers (PCPs), are relatively new highly porous hybrid organic-inorganic crystalline supramolecular materials composed of ordered networks formed from organic electron-donor linkers and metal cations via coordination bonds. Present chapter gives description of these materials and analyzes their possible applications in gas sensors. Methods of MOFs synthesis as well as limitations of MOFs applications in gas sensors are also discussed. Chapter includes 6 figures, 3 Tables and 70 references.
