| Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials that consist of metal ions connected by organic linkers. MOFs have been utilized within a vast range of applications such as for gas storage, gas separations, chemical sensing, catalysis, and drug delivery due to their tunable nature. As such, the functionalization of MOFs allows one to fine-tune a given structure for a specific application. In this work, various functionalization approaches will be described that modify the properties of a given MOF, and or optimize its size/shape/topology for chemical sensing, and liquid based separations. |
