Development of functionalized metal organic frameworks for gas storage and fluorescence sensing applications

Abstract

So far a large number of MOFs have shown application potentials in gas H2 CO2 CH4 CO etc storage and fluorescence sensing of a wide variety of analytes cations anions biomolecules small molecules volatile organic compounds nitro explosive materials etc Functionalization of MOFs has been performed by using pre functionalized ligands during the synthesis or by using the post synthetic modification approach The functional groups introduced in either strategy have been demonstrate
