Design & Synthesis of Smart Programmable Sponges
DESCRIPTION
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of solid-state materials built up from metal-based nodes and organic
linkers. They exhibit permanent porosity and unprecedented surface areas which can be readily tuned through coor-
dination chemistry at the inorganic node and/or organic chemistry at the linkers. The high porosities, tunability, and
stability are highly attractive for many applications including, but not limited to, storage, separations, catalysis, purifi-
cation and drug delivery.
