A Short Review on Photoluminescent Properties of Hybrid Metal Organic Framework

Abstract

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are three dimensionally arranged compounds of bridged organic ligands coordinately bonded with inorganic cluster. The large surface area with large pore volume of MOFs introduces wide application in catalysis field. With accurate combination of organic and inorganic bridging units we can alter the chemical, thermal stability as well as its porosity. Luminescence is the one of the most important properties exhibited by Metal organic frameworks (MOFs). This luminescent property of MOFs is highly sensitive for guest interaction due to which they are used in the detection of various toxic substances, organic pollutants. Based on their high sensitivity and selectivity they are applied in the field of sensors, different environmental applications, various clean energies, optoelectronic devices, medical and biological applications.
