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
Graduate students and researchers working with Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry

Claudio Pettinari
Claudio Pettinari graduated in Chemistry from the University of Camerino, Italy in1989. His field of expertise covers inorganic, organometallic and coordination chemistry, in particular: synthesis of biologically active metal complexes, new catalysts, advanced materials, metal-organic frameworks.
He is a Faculty member and full Professor at University of Camerino and CNR associate (ICCOM-Florence), and was co-founder of the International School of Organometallic Chemistry. He was awarded the Bonati prize and the Nasini Medal from the Italian Chemical Society, Doctor HC from the University of Galati, and is a member of the Academy of Science of Lisbon. President of the consortium REDI (Reducing Risks of Natural Disaster), President of CRUM (Conference Rectors of Marche), Member of board of ALMALAUREA, INSTM (Istituto Nazionale Scienze e Tecnologie dei Materiali). In 2017 Claudio Pettinari was appointed as Rector at the University of Camerino, Italy; from January 2021, he was appointed member of the Board of the Conference of Italian University Rectors (CRUI) and from September 2021 CRUI delegate for Research and Third Mission. In December 2022 he was elected Vice-President of the Italian Chemistry Society (Società Chimica Italiana).
