TLDR
Metal-organic frameworks are porous materials that have potential for applications such as gas storage and separation, as well as catalysis, and methods are being developed for making nanocrystals and supercrystals of MOFs for their incorporation into devices.Abstract:
Crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are formed by reticular synthesis, which creates strong bonds between inorganic and organic units. Careful selection of MOF constituents can yield crystals of ultrahigh porosity and high thermal and chemical stability. These characteristics allow the interior of MOFs to be chemically altered for use in gas separation, gas storage, and catalysis, among other applications. The precision commonly exercised in their chemical modification and the ability to expand their metrics without changing the underlying topology have not been achieved with other solids. MOFs whose chemical composition and shape of building units can be multiply varied within a particular structure already exist and may lead to materials that offer a synergistic combination of properties.read more

Stepwise Synthesis of Metal–Organic Frameworks
TL;DR: The hypothesis is that total synthesis is also possible for customized porous materials, through the development of similar multistep techniques, which will enable the rational design of MOFs, which is a major goal of many researchers in the field.

Metal-Organic Frameworks for the Capture of Trace Aromatic Volatile Organic Compounds
TL;DR: In this paper, two promising metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been proposed to capture volatile organic compounds even at low pressure and high temperature, e.g. benzene uptakes of 1.65 and 0.71 mmol g −1 at 0.12 kPa and 80 kC respectively.

Enzyme encapsulation in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks: a comparison between controlled co-precipitation and biomimetic mineralisation
TL;DR: The relative efficacy of each approach is assessed by comparing the thermal stability of encapsulated urease, showing that over a range of temperatures biomimetic mineralisation offers superior protection than the co-precipitation method.

TL;DR: Metal-organic framework (MOF-5), a prototype of a new class of porous materials and one that is constructed from octahedral Zn-O-C clusters and benzene links, was used to demonstrate that its three-dimensional porous system can be functionalized with the organic groups and can be expanded with the long molecular struts biphenyl, tetrahydropyrene, pyrene, and terphenyl.
