Synthesis and Characterization of MOF ‐Derived Structures: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives

This comprehensive review is an excellent resource for understanding various synthesis and characterization techniques of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) derivatives. Section 1 summarizes various synthesis techniques for a wide range of MOF derivates. Section 2 reviews detail characterization techniques and their fundamental principles to probe the structural, mechanical, physicochemical, electrochemical, and electronic properties of MOF and MOF derivatives. AbstractDue to their facile tunability, metal –organic frameworks (MOFs) are employed as precursors and templates to construct advanced functional materials with unique and desired chemical, physical, mechanical, and morphological properties. By tuning MOF precursor composition and manipulating conversion processes, various MOF-derived materi als commonly known as MOF derivatives can be constructed. The possibility of controlled and predictable properties makes MOF derivatives a preferred choice for numerous advanced technological applications. The innovative synthetic designs besides the plethora of interdisciplinary characterization ap proaches applicable to MOF derivatives provide the opportunity to perform a myriad of experiments to explore the performance and offer key insight to develop the next generation of advanced materials. Though there are many published works of literature describing various synthesis and characterizati on techniques of MOF derivatives, it is still not clear how the synthesis mechanism work...
