Chemistry and Applications of Metal-organic Framework (MOFs)

The chemistry of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs), a new class of emerging crystalline porous solids with three-dimensional (3D) networks composed of metals and multidentate organic molecules, chemistry is now a mature research field at the interface between inorganic chemistry, environmental chemistry, physical chemistry, and materials science. Chemistry and Applications of Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) describes not only the compounds with greater perspective but also the main synthesis methodologies, the particularities and all the main applications. It gives important information on the structure/reactivity-activity relationships, with sections reporting the most important results and establishing the correlation of MOFs to potential application.
