Chemistry and Applications of Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) describes not only these compounds with greater perspective, but also their main synthesis methodologies, particularities, and main applications. The book 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.
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—is now a mature research field at the interface between inorganic chemistry, environmental chemistry, physical chemistry, and materials science.
- Provides an all-encompassing resource on MOFs, including drug delivery, energy, and sensors
- Presents literature data from the first MOF synthesis
- Includes tables that show the applications of the MOFs and the synthetic methods
