Metal Organic Frameworks

Aastha Goyal

In this review article, Metal organic frameworks were prepared by various routes and the prepared MOFs was characterized by various techniques like Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques. MOFs were prepared by combination of various inorganic metals and organic linkers. MOFs have potential for the treatment of various gaseous pollutants. Further, MOFs were used for making composites with the help of doping something like ionic liquid, graphene oxide, CNTs etc. and these MOFs composite helpful in wide range of applications like gas storage, biomedical applications and catalysis and detection of heavy metal ions. MOFs have broad of advantageous properties (e.g., high surface area, high degree of porosity, specific adsorption affinities).
