Synthesis and shaping of metal–organic frameworks: a review

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess excellent strengths, such as high porosity, large specific surface area, and adjustable structure, showing good potential for applications in gas adsorption and separation, catalysis, conductivity, sensing,...

Ultrasound nanomedicine and materdicine

“…Compared with other solid porous materials, MOFs have the outstanding advantages that the pore size and function of the obtained materials can be designed and controlled by selecting different metal ions, organic ligands, functional groups and activation methods. 40 Due to the fact that nearly all metals and various organic compounds can be used for the preparation of MOFs, a variety of MOF materials with unique structures and properties have emerged, such as UiO-66, 41 HKUST-1, 42 ZIF-8 43 and ZIF-67. 44 Unique properties of MOFs and their derivatives, including their highly organized structure, high surface area, and huge pore volume, allow functional molecules to bind to their surfaces or pore channels.…”

Nanomaterials for Molecular Detection and Analysis of Extracellular Vesicles

“…Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a category of 2-D and 3-D synthesized organic and crystalline nanomaterials formed from the self-assembly of organic linkers and metal ions [ 151 , 152 , 153 ]. MOFs are highly tunable, porous, rigid, and stable materials.…”

“…MOFs are highly tunable, porous, rigid, and stable materials. In some cases, MOFs can expand and contract based on their environment and the material loaded within the pores [ 151 , 152 , 153 ]. MOFs are used in various applications, such as solar panels, carbon capture, drug delivery, and cancer detection [ 154 ].…”

Construction of High Quantum Yield Lanthanide Luminescent MOF Platform by In Situ Doping and Its Temperature Sensing Performance

“…Lanthanide metal ions and transition metal ions are often used as central metal ions. − Transition metal ions generally have low coordination numbers of 2–6; however, the coordination numbers of lanthanide metal ions are high, generally 8–10, resulting in great uncertainty and complexity in the process of forming Ln-MOFs, and thus Ln-MOFs are difficult to synthesize compared to transition MOFs. , Therefore, it becomes necessary to obtain Ln-MOFs through indirect means. Ln-MOFs are currently mainly constructed through direct synthesis, postsynthesis modification, and in situ doping methods. − The direct synthesis method is that Ln 3+ ions and organic linkers are directly self-assembled to form Ln-MOFs through volatilization, diffusion, and solvothermal methods. The postsynthesis modification method is to introduce Ln 3+ ions into the MOF channel or framework surface without destroying the original MOF framework in the process.…”
