“…The hybrid organic–inorganic materials known as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), above all their porous subset, are continuously gaining ground in scientific research, especially due to their interesting and promising functionalities, e.g., magnetic, optical, electrical, redox, and luminescence properties, as well as, when permanent porosity is present, gas adsorption or separation, catalytic activity, and drug delivery . In the realm of porous MOFs, ultrahigh porosity, provided by architectures with exceptionally large pores and apertures, smart catalysis within the pores, gas adsorption for alternative fuels, gas separation for clean air, and proton conductivity for fuel cell applications constitute some of the current hot topics, which renders it obvious the huge importance that MOFs potentially possess in numerous industrial applications.…”
