Overview of metal-organic frame materials

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are organic-inorganic hybrid materials with intramolecular pores formed by self-assembly of organic ligands and metal ions or clusters through coordination bonds.

The synthesis and characterization of [Zn4O (BDC) 3] (DMF) 8 (C6H5Cl) (MOF-5, H2BDC = 1, 4- phthalic acid, DMF = N, N- dimethylformamide) is groundbreaking, and it is a typical MOFs material.

In MOFs, the arrangement of organic ligands and metal ions or clusters has obvious directionality, which can form different skeleton pore structures, thus showing different adsorption properties, optical properties and electromagnetic properties. MOFs has great development potential and attractive development prospects in modern materials science.
