Concomitant role of metal clusters and ligands in the synthesis and control of porosity in Metal-Organic Frameworks: A literature review

Microwave-assisted synthesis of novel Ti/BTB-MOFs as porous anticancer and antibacterial agents

“…Nanotechnology and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have found a worthy place in medical science ( Bieniek et al, 2021 ; de Alencar Filho et al, 2021 ). In MOFs, which are composed of ligands and metals, the most important roles of ligands are flexibility and the possibility of controlling the size and environment of the holes ( Cai et al, 2021 ; Shen et al, 2021 ; Kumar et al, 2023 ). The properties of the ligand can be preserved in the final product and give the final product the properties of the ligand ( Joyce et al, 2021 ; Sharifzadeh et al, 2021 ).…”

An Oxalato-Bridged Cu(II)-Based 1D Polymer Chain: Synthesis, Structure, and Adsorption of Organic Dyes

“…Nowadays, researchers are attracted to coordination chemistry-based discrete complexes due to various types of possible interactions [ 15 ], and coordination polymers and metal organic frameworks that have tunable porosity, ultrahigh surface area, ionic framework, availability of active sites, and stability provide a supervisory idea for the removal of dyes [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Further, according to the features and size of the adsorbate, coordination compounds have proper adsorption sites embedded onto ligands, and, additionally, various pore sizes can be indented and altered by changing the connected organic linker, therefore showing tremendous promise in applications for adsorption [ 19 , 20 ]. In the preparation of coordination polymers with diversity in functions, the choice of ligands with N- and O-donor sites plays a remarkable role [ 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”
