Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are hybrid crystalline particles composed of metal cations and organic linkers [...]

Metalloporphyrin Metal–Organic Frameworks: Eminent Synthetic Strategies and Recent Practical Exploitations

“…The recently emerged porous materials, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)—typically formed from metal ions/clusters bridged by multidentate ligands in an extended framework—have provided solutions to tackle challenges in areas such as catalysis [ 1 , 2 , 3 ], gas storge/separation [ 4 , 5 ], biomimetic applications [ 6 , 7 , 8 ], drug delivery [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], electrochemical applications [ 12 , 13 ] and biomedical chemistry [ 14 , 15 ]. Moreover, the structures can be tuned by replacing or incorporating specific linkers or suitable unsaturated metal ions, in addition to adjusting the pore size and/or geometry which substantially influence their catalytic behaviors toward many substances participating in the reaction [ 16 , 17 ].…”

MOF-templated synthesis of photoluminescent MoS2 QDs

“…In the past decade, the template method has been widely used for constructing nanomaterials, because the templates can be used as nanoreactors with limited space to form, in a bottom-up manner, nanostructures with the required morphology. [12][13][14] Porous materials, silica nanoparticles and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have been shown to display great advantages for a variety of applications [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] due to their large internal surface areas, uniform but tunable cavities and tailorable chemistry. 22 In this regard, they are undoubtedly alternative porous templates for the synthesis of QDs/nanodots, nanoparticles, and their composites.…”
