The design of such a filigrane network requires the very careful control of chemical parameters and the reward is an assortment of different property profiles owing to the richness of possible variations.
Abstract
Air, air, air… and some solid skeleton; this is the basis for an interesting class of materials-the aerogels (shown schematically on the right). Can one therefore speak of "simple" chemistry? The design of such a filigrane network requires the very careful control of chemical parameters. The reward is an assortment of different property profiles owing to the richness of possible variations.

Hierarchical Metal–Organic Frameworks with Macroporosity: Synthesis, Achievements, and Challenges

TL;DR: A range of synthetic methods for the fabrication and characterisation of hierarchical MOFs with macroporosity are reviewed, which can be either pre- or post-synthetic and include using hard or soft structural template agents, defect formation, routes involving supercritical CO2, and 3D printing.

Covalently linked organic frameworks and polyhedra

TL;DR: A covalently linked organic network as mentioned in this paper is defined as a set of boron-containing clusters linked together by a plurality of linking groups, such that each linking group is bonded to at least two distinct boronal clusters.

Silicone-Based Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Aerogels and Xerogels.

TL;DR: Successful strengthening methodologies, which employ organo-substituted alkoxysilanes as the single precursor for the sol-gel preparations, developed by the authors are highlighted, lead to monolithic aerogel-like xerogels through ambient pressure drying.
