Iron-based metal–organic frameworks
(Fe-MOFs) have captured
considerable attention owing to their intriguing structural architectures,
excellent stability, durability, and function. Fe-MOFs are anticipated
to become the most appropriate MOF materials promising practical applications.
In the present review, the architectures of stable Fe-MOFs are discussed
along with the latest research progress on their synthesis and multifunctional
applications. Synthetic methods of Fe-MOFs including hydrothermal, diffusion methods,
microwave, xerogel conversion, and modulation synthesis followed by
postsynthesis modifications and their potential applications in catalysis,
gas storage, and sensors are outlined. The present study aims to provide
prospects to explore advances in assembly and extending Fe-MOFs for
more and much better practical applications.
