Reticular Chemistry for Highly Porous Metal–Organic Frameworks: The Chemistry and Applications

ConspectusCurrent global crises related to clean energy and the environment entail the development of materials that are capable of addressing these challenges. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of functional materials assembled from metal-containing nodes and organic ligands via coordination bonds, have been successfully developed for various applications, including catalysis, toxic chemical removal, and gas storage and separation, as a result of their highly tailorable nature and precisely engineered pore structures. In particular, the exceptionally high surface areas and porosities of MOFs are two of their most attractive characteristics and place them among the best porous materials for the storage…
