Porous Organic Frameworks

About

Porous organic frameworks belong to a class of porous polymers. They are used in a wide range of applications, including hydrogen storage, drug delivery, catalyst research, semiconductors, carbon capture, and many more. Subclasses of porous organic frameworks include metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs). MOFs consist of ligands and metal ions that are linked through coordinate bonds, while COFs are formed by covalently bonded ligands and linkers. Key Features High porosity and surface area. Porous organic frameworks are able to absorb and separate gases and liquids. The pore size can be controlled through the use of different types of ligands. Functional ligands and linkers. Functionality can be introduced to porous organic frameworks through ligands, linkers, and metal centers. Excellent structure diversity. Reticular synthesis provides excellent structural diversity. The abundant choice of ligands enables feasible topological control over porous organic frameworks.
