MFM-300: From air pollution remediation to toxic gas detection

The chemically stable family of MOF materials (MFM-300) is reviewed in this contribution. This material was recently reported few years ago (2011) and promising environmental remediation applications have been already proposed to date. The hydroxo functional groups (mu(2)-OH) that constitute MFM-300, are the key for its chemical stability and remarkable sorption properties (e.g., selectivity). Understanding the structural properties, functionality and host-guest interactions of MFM-300 opens new and exciting opportunities for applications in the frontiers of science. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
