“…There have been reviews in the area of PSM dealing with PSM as a tool to tailor the structure of MOFs or different approaches to perform PSMs. [ 32–35 ] The current study consolidates all the possible techniques of PSM of the MOFs with a specific emphasis on its utility in creating MOFs with better properties. We have considered not only the mainstream metal and linker modification/exchange but also the transformations of the foreign species like solvents, cations, and anions in the pores.…”

Post‐synthetic modification (PSM) of metal–organic framework (MOF) compounds is a useful technique for preparing new MOFs that can exhibit or enhance many of the properties of the parent MOFs. PSM can be carried out by a number of approaches such as modifying the linker (ligand) and/or metal node, and adsorption/exchange of guest species. The surface environment of the MOF can be modified to increase structural stability as well as introducing desired properties. There is considerable scope in widening the applications of the MOF with compatible metal or ligand employing the PSM. This review focuses on the recent developments of modified materials through PSM, which augers well for the chemical modification and functionalization of MOFs. In this review, different types of PSM methods are presented in an orderly manner, and the diverse applications of resultant frameworks are described and discussed.

“…Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous compounds formed by the self-assembling of metal ions and organic linkers [1][2][3]. Due to the possibility to tailor their composition by a proper choice of metal ions [4] and organic linkers, it can be possible to develop MOFs with applications in many areas, such as catalysis, sensing, gas-separation/adsorption/detection, information storage and telecommunications [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

Designing Magnetic NanoMOFs for Biomedicine: Current Trends and Applications

et al. 2020

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown a great potential in biomedicine due to their promising applications in different fields, including drug delivery, thermometry, theranostics etc. In this context, the development of magnetic sub-micrometric or nanometric MOFs through miniaturization approaches of magnetic MOFs up to the nanoscale still represents a crucial step to fabricate biomedical probes, especially in the field of theranostic nanomedicine. Miniaturization processes have to be properly designed to tailor the size and shape of particles and to retain magnetic properties and high porosity in the same material, fundamental prerequisites to develop smart nanocarriers integrating simultaneously therapeutic and contrast agents for targeted chemotherapy or other specific clinical use. An overview of current trends on the design of magnetic nanoMOFs in the field of biomedicine, with particular emphasis on theranostics and bioimaging, is herein envisioned.
