“…Likewise, nanoporous materials recently became of pertinent use in the medicinal and pharmacological fields for drug storage, delivery and controlled release in addition to applications in imaging and sensing for therapeutic and diagnostic [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Particularly, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have generated large interest owing to their versatile architectures [35] and their promising applications not only in ion exchange, adsorption and gas storage [36][37][38][39][40][41], separation processes [42], heterogeneous catalysis [43,44], polymerization reactions [45,46], luminescence [47], non-linear optics [48] and magnetism [49], but also as drug carriers, systems for drug delivery [22,23,50,51], contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [21] and systems with potential use in other biomedical applications [23].…”
