Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous inorganic-organic hybrid materials with highly ordered pore structures and tailored functionalization, making them suitable for various applications. 3p-block metal (Al, Ga, and In)-based MOFs exhibit higher chemical stability compared to transition metal-based MOFs. This review mainly discusses the construction units, coordination types, and numbers of organic ligands in Al-MOFs and In-MOFs, providing guidance for the design and synthesis of novel 3p-block metal-based MOFs with potential applications.
Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) are a class of porous inorganic-organic hybrid materials, which are constructed from diverse inorganic building units and multi-functional organic ligands. Highly ordered pore structures and tailored functionalization have made MOF materials potential for applications in many fields. Among various MOF materials, 3p-block metal(Al, Ga, and In)-based MOFs exhibit higher chemical stability than divalent transition metal-based MOFs due to their higher valence. In this review, Al-MOFs and In-MOFs were mainly discussed from the perspective of categories of inorganic building blocks, coordination types, and numbers of organic ligands. This review will give intuitive guidance to the design and synthesis of novel 3p-block metal-based MOFs with potential applications.
