Metal Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Application
Victoria Samanidou, Eleni A. Deliyanni
Abstract
The concept of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) was first introduced in 1990; nowadays they are among the most promising novel materials. MOFs belong to a new class of crystalline materials that consist of coordination bonds between metal clusters (e.g., metal-carboxylate clusters and metal-azolate clusters), metal atoms, or rod-shaped clusters and multidentate organic linkers that contain oxygen or nitrogen donors (like carboxylates, azoles, nitriles, etc.); thus, a three-dimensional structure is formed [...].
