| Summary: | Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), also known as porous coordination
polymer(PCPs), are organic-inorganic compounds which are self-assembled from
metal ions/clusters with organic ligands attaining permanent pores, ultrahigh
surface area and infinite structure tailorability. These unique properties have
rendered MOFs as great candidates in gas adsorption and separation, catalysis,
sensing, drug delivery, etc. Structural control over both the molecular level and
particle level is believed to be an efficient way for both creating new properties
and enhancing the current performance of MOFs. To further developing the
properties of MOFs, MOFs particles were modified through various techniques to
achieve the goal above. Techniques, including self-assembly, were applied to
make structure based new or enhanced properties of MOFs. |
