Low‐dimensional metal–organic frameworks (LD MOFs) have attracted increasing attention in recent years, which successfully combine the unique properties of MOFs, e.g., large surface area, tailorable structure, and uniform cavity, with the distinctive physical and chemical properties of LD nanomaterials, e.g., high aspect ratio, abundant accessible active sites, and flexibility. Significant progress has been made in the morphological and structural regulation of LD MOFs in recent years. It is still of great significance to further explore the synthetic principles and dimensional‐dependent properties of LD MOFs. In this review, recent progress in the synthesis of LD MOF‐based materials and their applications are summarized, with an emphasis on the distinctive advantages of LD MOFs over their bulk counterparties. First, the unique physical and chemical properties of LD MOF‐based materials are briefly introduced. Synthetic strategies of various LD MOFs, including 1D MOFs, 2D MOFs, and LD MOF‐based composites, as well as their derivatives, are then summarized. Furthermore, the potential applications of LD MOF‐based materials in catalysis, energy storage, gas adsorption and separation, and sensing are introduced. Finally, challenges and opportunities of this fascinating research field are proposed.

Control over assembly, orientation, and defect‐free growth of metal‐organic framework (MOF) films is crucial for their future applications. A layer‐by‐layer approach is considered a suitable method to synthesize highly oriented films of numerous MOF topologies, but the initial stages of the film growth remain poorly understood. Here we use a combination of infrared (IR) reflection absorption spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM)‐IR imaging to investigate the assembly and growth of a surface mounted MOF (SURMOF) film, specifically HKUST‐1. IR spectra of the films were measured with monolayer sensitivity and <10 nm spatial resolution. In contrast to the common knowledge of LbL SURMOF synthesis, we find evidence for the surface‐hindered growth and large presence of copper acetate precursor species in the produced MOF thin‐films. The growth proceeds via a solution‐mediated mechanism where the presence of weakly adsorbed copper acetate species leads to the formation of crystalline agglomerates with a size that largely exceeds theoretical growth limits. We report the spectroscopic characterization of physisorbed copper acetate surface species and find evidence for the large presence of unexchanged and mixed copper‐paddle‐wheels. Based on these insights, we were able to optimize and automatize synthesis methods and produce (100) oriented HKUST‐1 thin‐films with significantly shorter synthesis times, and additionally use copper nitrate as an effective synthesis precursor.

“…Self-assembly strategies, the development of thin film technology, and a dynamic structural response enable MOF superstructures to be applied for optical sensors based on photonic crystals, [138][139][140][141] electro-optical devices, [16] light switchers, [142] and adaptive reflectors. [135,137] Moreover, as single 100-300 nm nanoparticles, [143] the structures are promising for nanometerscale light manipulation, due to the generation of specific Mie-type optical resonances (so-called all-dielectric nanophotonics).…”

Owing to the synergistic combination of a hybrid organic–inorganic nature and a chemically active porous structure, metal–organic frameworks have emerged as a new class of crystalline materials. The current trend in the chemical industry is to utilize such crystals as flexible hosting elements for applications as diverse as gas and energy storage, filtration, catalysis, and sensing. From the physical point of view, metal–organic frameworks are considered molecular crystals with hierarchical structures providing the structure‐related physical properties crucial for future applications of energy transfer, data processing and storage, high‐energy physics, and light manipulation. Here, the perspectives of metal–organic frameworks as a new family of functional materials in modern physics are discussed: from porous metals and superconductors, topological insulators, and classical and quantum memory elements, to optical superstructures, materials for particle physics, and even molecular scale mechanical metamaterials. Based on complementary properties of crystallinity, softness, organic–inorganic nature, and complex hierarchy, a description of how such artificial materials have extended their impact on applied physics to become the mainstream in material science is offered.
