MOF is a new class of material with lots of opportunity for future work. It is a coordination compound. Obviously MOF is a attractive subject for a group of researcher.

ZEOLITES POFs

4.  Zeolites are microporous crystalline solids with well-defined
structures. Generally they contain silicon, aluminium and oxygen in
their framework and cations, water and/or other molecules wthin
their pores.
 Zeolites form with many different crystalline structures, which
have large open pores (sometimes referred to as cavities) in a very
regular arrangement and roughly the same size as small molecules.
 The most interesting thing about zeolites is
their open, cage-like, "framework" structure
and the way it can trap other molecules insde
it.

5.  POFs are composed of different organic moieties linked
by covalent bonds, resulting in ordered and rigid
structure.
 Exceptional Thermal stabilities and Low Frameworks
Densities.
 Exhibit permanent porosity and specific surface areas
 Application- Gas storage, Separation, Catalysis
POFs : POROUS ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS

6. Metal-Organic Framework, abbreviated to MOF, is a
Coordination Polymer (or alternatively Coordination Network)
with an open framework containing potential voids.
MOFs are self-assembled metal clusters with organic ligands, are
well known for their structure, permanent porosity, and tunable
properties and have shown great prospect for various
applications.

Basic structure

8.  MOFs are structures made up of inorganic nodes, which can either be single ions or
clusters of ions, and organic linkers. They contain potential voids which can be used
for various application.
 Very low density.
 Crystalline.
 Large voids.
 Significant van der Waals interaction.
 Compelx unit cell.
Structural features

9. • Many potential applications of MOFs depends on
the size and nature of the available free volume
or pores within the frameworks structure
• Tuning of the pores is typically achieved by
variation of the metal ions or organic ligands
• Lengthening the organic chains can lead to
increased pore size but is often limited by a
decrease in stability of the framework.
Important of pore size

10. • With no gas present, the thermal conductivity decreases with increasing pore
size. In the presence of adsorbed gas, MOFs with smaller pores experience
reduced thermal conductivity due to phonon scattering introduced by gas–
crystal interactions.
•For larger pores (>1.7 nm), the adsorbed gas does
not significantly affect thermal conductivity.
•This difference is due to the decreased probability
of gas–crystal collisions in larger pore structures.

12. Common ligands used for MOFs

13.  The 2D structures with grid shape are generally synthesized with a
molar ratio between the ligand and the metal center of 1:2.
 Example: The MOF is constituted by cobalt metal centers and ligands N-
(3-pyridyl) nicotinamide .The metal ions are coordinated with four
molecules of ligand, which result in a two-dimensional flat-shaped
structure.

14.  The backbone of the compound is constructed from metal ions which
act as connectors and organic bridging ligands as linkers.
 Readily accessible porosity.
 The coexistence of inorganic (hydrophilic) and organic (hydrophobic)
moieties in structure may influence on adsorption properties.
 Although most MOFs are electrical insulators, several materials in this
class have recently demonstrated excellent electrical conductivity and
high charge mobility.
Properties of MOFs

15.  The thermal stability of MOFs is determined by the coordination number
and local coordination environment instead of framework topology.
 In general MOFs are poor thermal conductors with a thermal
conductivity that is similar to concrete.

16.  Surface Area: MOFs with higher surface area are more desirable.
 Pore Size: MOFs must have the proper pore size to allow uptake
and release of analytes.
 Stability: MOFs must exhibit reasonable stability upon exposure
to oxygen, moisture, the analytes of interest or changes
in temperature.
 Solubility: MOFs should be insoluble in aqueous media.
 Analyte Interaction: MOFs may exhibit special structural characteristics that may
facilitate selective uptake and release of analytes.

Synthesis

18.  The organic linkers used in MOFs are capable of connecting two metal oxide
clusters (ditopic linkers).
 Linkers with higher dimensionality can also be used.
 The bonds formed between the metal ions and the donor atoms of the linker are
strong and as a result, the extended network structure in the MOF is quite
robust.
 The coordination complex formed by the metal ions and the donor atoms of the
linker, termed the secondary building unit (SBU), dictates the final topology of
the MOF framework
 Careful selection of MOF constituents can yield crystals of ultrahigh porosity
and high thermal and chemical stability. These characteristics allow the interior
of MOFs to be chemically altered for use in gas separation, gas storage, and
catalysis, among other applications.
Chemistry of MOFs

19.  Active sites on MOFs are located at the metal nodes on the crystalline
structure; when the reaction occurs, the framework protects their
active sites and increases the efficiency.
 Transition metal ions are often used as the inorganic components of
MOFs. Different metal ions are well known to prefer different
coordination numbers and geometries, such as linear, T- or Y-shaped,
tetrahedral, square-planar, square-pyramidal, trigonal-bipyramidal,
octahedral, trigonal-prismatic, and pentagonal-bipyramidal
 Organic ligands with rigid backbones are often preferred, because the
rigidity makes it easier to predict the network geometry , and in
addition the rigidity also helps to sustain the open-pore structure after
the removal of the included solvent
Chemistry of MOFs

21.  By using appropriate system it is possible to synthesis
extended polymeric or discrete‐closed oligomeric structures.
MOFs containing large spaces may result in the formation of
interpenetrating structures. Formation of interpenetrating
networks can be inhibited by choosing suitable organic
ligands.
