Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks: Syntheses, Properties, and Potential Applications

abstract

• 2015 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a novel category of porous materials. Currently, rational design of MOFs provides a convenient method to design MOFs with desired properties. After a short introduction of traditional metal MOFs, this chapter discusses the development, properties, and applications of Lanthanide MOFs (Ln-MOFs). Ln-MOFs have garnered much interest due to a wide array of features from the marriage of lanthanide ions with traditional MOFs. An introduction to the Ln-MOF field is presented with several well-known structures to demonstrate various synthetic strategies. Furthermore, interesting structural and chemical properties incluDing porosity, chirality, magnetism, and luminescence are highlighted from recent studies, as well as, a brief overview of potential applications incluDing gas storage, catalysis, and chemical sensing.
