MOFs

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a type of porous, crystalline material that has a wide range of applications. MOFs are made up of metal ions or clusters that operate as joints in a network structure, and multidirectional organic ligands that act as linkers. These networks might be one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional extended periodic structures. Regular arrays are produced as the joints and linkers assemble, resulting in strong (typically porous) materials similar to zeolites. MOFs are the materials with the highest reported surface area.
