TL;DR: This critical review of metal-organic frameworks focuses on target materials suitable for the storage of hydrogen and methane, sequestration of carbon dioxide, gas separation, heterogeneous catalysis and as magnetic and photoluminescent materials capable of both metal- and ligand-centred emission, ion exchangers and molecular sieves.

TL;DR: This review exhaustively review the many efforts of several worldwide commercial companies to bring functional MOFs towards the daily use and summarise the state-of-the-art on the preparation of promising (multi)functional MOFs in worldwide laboratories and their use as materials for industrial implementation.

TL;DR: The three-dimensional microporous titanium aminoterephthalate MIL-125-NH2 was successfully isolated as monodispersed nanoparticles by using a simple, safe and low-cost synthetic approach so that for the first time it could be considered for encapsulation and the release of drugs.

TL;DR: In this article, a microporous two-dimensional Ni-based phosphonate metal-organic framework (MOF) has been successfully synthesized by a simple and green hydrothermal method and fully characterized using a combination of experimental and computational techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of compounds were characterized in the solid-state using powder X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM and EDS) and elemental analysis.
