Potential applications of metal-organic frameworks

Metal-organic frameworks have received much attention in recent years especially as newly developed porous materials. As such, they possess a wide array of potential applications including materials for gas storage, gas/vapor separation, catalysis, luminescence, and drug delivery. In the review, these potential applications of metal-organic frameworks are examined and an outlook will be proposed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
