Recent Progression in Metal-Organic Frameworks

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal porous candidates where judicial changes in their structure can bring in different chemical reactivity. In recent years, it has been amply demonstrated both experimentally as well as theoretically, the fine-tuning of geometrical stature can influence the physicochemical and chemical properties of MOFs. Such fine modulation at the molecular level would confer a new environment that could be utilized to solve numerous challenges in chemistry such as achieving desirable catalytic properties, facilitation of gas sequestration at ambient conditions, harnessing unprecedented optical/magnetic response, thermal properties, etc. To this end, the porous nature of MOF can host several molecules or can integrate with various molecules such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, carbon dots, dye, etc. to elucidate the fascinating chemistry occurring in the confined state. The reader of this book will gain an up-to-date account of what has been done in recent times by various researchers around the world. This book is a valuable reference for chemists, material scientists and engineers as well as researchers in both academia and industry. It is also a beneficial resource for postgraduate university students in chemical, polymer and materials disciplines, along with interdisciplinary streams to design his/her own research directions.
