Recent Advances as Materials of Functional Metal‐Organic Frameworks

Abstract

Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs), also known as hybrid inorganic‐organic materials, represent an emerging class of materials that have attracted the imagination of solid‐state chemists because MOFs combine unprecedented levels of porosity with a range of other functional properties that occur through the metal moiety and/or the organic ligand. The purpose of this critical review is to give a representative and comprehensive overview of the arising developments in the field of functional metal‐organic frameworks, including luminescence, magnetism, and porosity through presenting examples. This review will be of interest to researchers and synthetic chemists attempting to design multifunctional MOFs.
