Due to the structural flexibility, large surface area, tailorable pore size and functional tenability, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can lead to materials with unique properties. This book covers the fundamental aspects of MOFs, their synthesis and modification, including their potential applications in different domains. The major focus is on applications including chemical, biosensors, catalysis, drug delivery, supercapacitors, energy storage, magnetics and their future perspectives.

Due to the structural flexibility, large surface area, tailorable pore size and functional tenability, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become a fascinating class of materials and are continuing to inspire both scientists and engineers. MOFs are the combination of organic and inorganic structure elements that can lead to materials with unique properties, and the choice of initial building units makes it possible to vary some parameters, such as the pore size, density as well as the specific surface area, which opens up new ways to produce materials with tailored physicochemical properties. This ability to fine-tune MOF properties is evident in various areas, both academic and industrial, with potential practical applications including gas storage and separation, heterogeneous catalysis, chemical sensing, biomedical applications, fabrication of membranes or thin films and many more. Hence, these materials play a key role in life every day and their effect on the future of humanity’s technology. Therefore, exciting developments, new advancements and foundations, direction for further exploring MOFs for their applications and critical analysis of the research are necessary to provide the field’s current status.

Metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs, emerged as a promising class of crystalline hybrid materials composed of metal clusters or centers and organic linker molecules such as benzene dicarboxylic acid (BDC) that assemble to form a three-dimensional structure. The material is known for its high porosity and enormous internal surface areas. Its components permit various combinations of organic and inorganic blocks, giving rise to millions of different structures. MOFs have received considerable attention due to their topological and fascinating structures with specific properties and applications that represent an eternal desire for many material scientists. The diverse crystalline structure is designed by stitching clusters of metal (additionally known as secondary building units (SBUs)) with organic linkers, mainly nitrogen and carboxylic acid-containing ligands.
