Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) refer to porous coordination materials that are formed from the assembly of metal ions and organic ligands. They have unique features, such as a large specific surface area, multiple active sites, easy functionalisation, adjustable biocompatibility. MOFs recently been widely used in field biomedical engineering owing their structures properties. This has enabled ...

Aqueous energy devices are under the spotlight of current research due to their safety, low cost and ease handling. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derivatives have spurred extensive exploration as they provide a library new electrode materials. The rich structural flexibilities (such metal nodes, ligands, pore structure) endow MOFs MOFs-derivatives with vast opportunities for various devices. ...

This review summarizes the unique advantages and opportunities offered by mechanochemical process to generate MOF composites.

By intimate control of reaction conditions, phase-pure crystalline porous metal-organic framework materials [Zn(4)O(L)(3)] with interpenetrated and non-interpenetrated structures can be synthesised. Under certain conditions, these reactions occur with concomitant deprotection of masked alcohols located on the organic links which yield accessible 'metal-binding' functional groups within the fram...
