Biomolecules in metal-organic frameworks: From optical studies and devices of metal-loaded adeninate MOFs to adsorptive separation of amino acids. KU Leuven
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of hybrid solid materials, built up by coordinative bonds between a wide variety of inorganic metal ion or cluster nodes and organic linking molecules. Their highly ordered three-dimensional architectures are often crystalline and porous, with pore sizes ranging from a few Ångström to ten nanometers. Owing to their large chemical versatility and highly porous architectures, MOFs have been thoroughly ...
