Abstract

Metal-organic frameworks are the class which consists of metal ions (node) or clusters coordinated with the organic linker to form one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) structures. They are the subcategory of coordination polymers. The organic ligands are referred as “struts” or “linkers.” They are also known as porous coordination polymers because they are porous in nature. They are made up of organic linkers (mostly polydentate) and metal-containing node (also known as secondary building units).
