Organic Framework

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are one of those compounds which have drawn attention in various applications due to their several interesting properties like tunable shape, size, pore size, easy functionalization, high surface area, pore volume, etc. Metal organic frameworks due to their uniform structures, tunable porosity, wide variety and stability on various topology, geometry, dimension and chemical functions of the molecular network give a remarkable structural diversity in comparison to other porous materials. This enables scientists to handle numerous framework structures, porosity and functionality effectively. The unique structural architecture and tunable properties of MOF’s makes them an interesting hybrid material consisting of organic and inorganic materials. MOF can be randomly constructed like Lego bricks and superior in terms of versatility in comparisson to other porous materials. A number of MOFs containing a wide variety of metal e.g. zinc, copper, iron, aluminium, magnesium, chromium, zirconium, gadolinium, manganese are gaining rapid growth in commercial markets for gas storage, adsorption, separation and catalytic applications. This concise review emphasizes various synthetic methods e.g. solvothermal process, hydrothermal synthesis, electrochemical synthesis, microwave synthesis, sonochemical synthesis, mechanochemical synthesis, of metal organic framework developed in the last few decades. It also addresses various applications of metal organic framework e.g. hydrogen storage, gas adsorption, drug delivery systems and bioimaging agents, biocatalysts, biosensors, electrochemical sensors, etc. It also comments on various challenges and futuristic applications of metal organic frameworks in various field e.g. liquid wate management, gaseous waste management, sunlight assisted catalysis, water purification, building materials, electronic devices, battery technologies, targeted drug delivery, solar cells, etc. of science and technology in coming decades.

Organic Framework

Materials that combine magnetic order with other desirable physical attributes offer to revolutionize our energy landscape. Indeed, such materials could find transformative applications in spintronics, quantum sensing, low-density magnets, and gas separations. As a result, efforts to design multifunctional magnetic materials have recently moved beyond traditional solid-state materials to metal–organic solids. Among these, metal–organic frameworks in particular bear structures that offer intrinsic porosity, vast chemical and structural programmability, and tunability of electronic properties. Nevertheless, magnetic order within metal–organic frameworks has generally been limited to low temperatures, owing largely to challenges in creating strong magnetic exchange in extended metal–organic solids. Here, we employ the phenomenon of itinerant ferromagnetism to realize magnetic ordering at TC = 225 K in a mixed-valence chromium(II/III) triazolate compound, representing the highest ferromagnetic ordering temperature yet observed in a metal–organic framework. The itinerant ferromagnetism is shown to proceed via a double-exchange mechanism, the first such observation in any metal–organic material. Critically, this mechanism results in variable-temperature conductivity with barrierless charge transport below TC and a large negative magnetoresistance of 23% at 5 K. These observations suggest applications for double-exchange-based coordination solids in the emergent fields of magnetoelectrics and spintronics. Taken together, the insights gleaned from these results are expected to provide a blueprint for the design and synthesis of porous materials with synergistic high-temperature magnetic and charge transport properties.

Biofuel synthesis is of great significance for producing alternative fuels. Among the developed catalytic materials, the metal-organic framework-based hybrids used as acidic, basic, or supported catalysts play major roles in the biodiesel production. This paper presents a timely and comprehensive review of recent developments on the design and preparation of metal-organic frameworks-based catalysts used for biodiesel synthesis from various oil feedstocks, including MILs-based catalysts, ZIFs-based catalysts, UiO-based catalysts, Cu-BTC-based catalysts, and MOFs-derived porous catalysts. Due to their unique and flexible structures, excellent thermal and hydrothermal stability, and tunable host-guest interactions, as compared with other heterogeneous catalysts, metal-organic framework-based catalysts have good opportunities for application in the production of biodiesel at industrial scale.
