Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a highly studied class of complex structured porous materials, containing different types of central metal ions attached to organic linkers, are used in various applications such as catalysis, separation, absorption, photochemistry, proton conductivity, biotechnology, magnetism and sensoristic science etc. The architectural structures of MOFs provide special properties as improved thermal and mechanical stabilities, high surface areas and large pore sizes to these materials. The need for new functionalities is to take into account that the fabrication methods must be robust, scalable, friendly to environment and cost-effective.
