Abstract
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline solids composed by inorganic units (atoms, clusters, chains, …) linked by ionocovalent bonds to organic polydentate ligands (carboxylates, phosphonates, azolates, …) procuring a highly porous three-dimensional (3D) network. From the first reports in the early 90s, interest in MOFs, their chemistry and their applications have increased exponentially. Proving so, are the >13,300 publications registered only in 2020 (Web-of-Science: “Metal-Organic Frameworks”). MOFs outstand from other porous materials due to their hybrid versatile organic-inorganic composition (tunable ligands, presence of unsaturated metallic centers…), their structural richness (multiple topologies, isoreticular families…) and their exceptional porosity (with specific surface areas-SBET up to 8000 m2·g-1). As consequence, they have become an ideal candidate for relevant industrial and societal applications...
