1. What are Metal-Organic Frameworks?
1.1 Description and background
MOFs are also known as Porous Coordination Polymers (PCPs). These porous, crystallized hybrid solids are made up of an assembly of organic and inorganic entities, and offer a multitude of properties that are attracting considerable academic interest, and growing industrial interest. Indeed, their hybrid nature makes it possible to exploit the versatility of both organic and inorganic chemistry. The complexation forces linking the metal cation and the ligand (coordination bonds) are neither too weak (greater than physical forces such as hydrogen, van der Waals forces, etc.), nor too strong (covalent bonds), enabling adjustment of cation-ligand interactions to create an ordered (crystalline) network, while retaining a certain robustness (chemical, mechanical)....
