Biomimetic Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and their Applications

Biomimetic Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and their Applications

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging group of porous crystalline materials with ions or clusters of metals, that are coordinated with organic linkers, such as diacids and their derivatives. Recently, MOFs have been identified to possess ability for emulating natural systems by incorporating biological molecules or mimicking biological functions. Thus, this chapter provides an overview of biomimetic MOFs, their design, synthesis, structural and functional properties. In addition, characterization techniques to identify the properties of MOFs and their biomedical applications were also discussed with a case study about kinetic studies of aluminum fumarate MoFs.
