Methods for the Preparation of Metal-Organic Frameworks

Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks are the functional materials that are assembled through metal clusters or ions and organic linkers via strong bonds. They are an imminent and advanced class of coordination polymers for distinguished applications in various fields. This present chapter introduces a summary and acquainted approach toward the construction of MOFs. Numerous synthetic methods, such as conventional (hydrothermal (solvothermal) and iono-thermal methods), unconventional, and alternative synthesis (microwave-assisted, electrochemical, sonochemical, slow evaporation, diffusion, layer by layer (LBL) growth synthesis, microemulsion, dry-gel conversion, and microfluidic method) have also been discussed. © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Jay Singh, Nidhi Goel, Ranjana Verma and Ravindra Pratap Singh
