Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): Highly Porous Materials with Tunable Properties

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are materials composed of ligands and metal ions that form a porous organic network with a periodic lattice structure. MOFs possess advantageous properties such as a large surface area, high porosity, tunable pore sizes, and diverse framework structures. These unique characteristics make them promising candidates for various applications, including gas storage, catalysis, and drug delivery.
