A Short Review on Synthesis and Applications of Zinc Based Metal Organic Frameworks

Abstract

Metal organic framework are a class of compounds consisting of metal ions or clusters that are coordinated to organic ligands to form one-, two, or threedimensional structures. Zinc based metal-organic framework have great importance among a number of metal-organic framework, due to their utility for removal and detection of antibiotics in water, detection and differentiation of ferrous and chromium ions in aqueous solution, as an efficient catalyst, as photocatalyst, removal of emerging drug contaminant (amodiaquine) from aqueous solution, in drug delivery, cell imaging and sensing, as nontoxic and biodegradable platforms for biomedical applications, as an electrode material for hydrazine sensing and they also have many more applications.. All these characteristics have encouraged extensive study of the chemical, physical, biological and industrial properties of metal organic frameworks of zinc. So this review article provides a comprehensive overview of synthesis and most of the persists application of metal organic framework of zinc.
