Metal-Organic Frameworks: Application to Analytical Chemistry

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an emerging class of porous materials. Owing to a number of remarkable properties, MOFs are now widely explored as advanced materials for diverse applications. Recently, great progress has been made for the applications of MOFs in analytical chemistry. This chapter focuses on the research of the analytical applications of MOFs and highlights the ability of MOFs in all the important aspects of modern analytical chemistry including sampling, solid-phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction, gas chromatographic separation, and liquid chromatographic separation. Keywords: metal-organic frameworks; analytical applications; sample preparation; solid-phase extraction; solid-phase microextraction; gas chromatography; high-performance liquid chromatography
