Metal‐Organic Frameworks: Nanoscale Frameworks

摘要: The empty volume within porous materials provides virtually unlimited space for imagination, allowing the use of their internal surface with different functionalities a myriad applications. This is particularly case metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are highly crystalline inorganic–organic networks constructed by assembling metal ions or metal-containing clusters multifunctional organic ligands. MOFs attracting considerable attention due to various structural architectures, exhibit extremely high areas and feature tunable pore size. functionalization key aspect intriguing properties in gas storage separation, catalysis, drug delivery, sensing, magnetism. To date, most reported specific applications bulk materials; however, miniaturizing them nanoscale (nanoMOFs) integrating resulting nanoMOFs onto surfaces will be essential future development MOF-based devices. Analogously well-known inorganic nanoparticles, can novel often enhanced compared corresponding form, opening up new perspectives many technological biomedical In this chapter, we summarize recent advances nanoMOF synthesis (0D, 1D, 2D nanoMOFs, SURMOFs, hybrid nanocomposites, MOF superstructures) describe how small size optimize potential medical imaging, magnetism, sensors, offering panoramic view embryonic class nanomaterials. Keywords: metal-organic frameworks; nanoMOFs; synthesis; nanochemistry; SURMOFs; hybrid nanocomposites; MOF superstructures; gas separation; drug delivery; contrast agents; magnetism; sensing
