Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs): As multi-purpose catalysts

“MOFs” is the abbreviation of Metal Organic Frameworks, which is usually used as a general name for a group of compounds; whenever it is followed by ordinal numbers, means an individual metal organic frameworks [1]. MOFs have emerged as an extensive class of crystalline materials with high porosity in nature. MOFs are a branch of materials having many advantages such as thermal stability, discrete ordered structure, ultra-low densities and ease of synthesis. These striking features led to incessant research for the development of many new porous materials. On an elemental level, MOFs epitomize the elegance of chemical structures and the relevance of the combination of inorganic and organic components. Many scientists across the world have put forward definitions to describe the term MOF.
