MFM-300: From air pollution remediation to toxic gas detection

Abstract The chemically stable family of MOF materials (MFM-300) is reviewed in this contribution. This material was recently reported few years ago (2011) and promising environmental remediation applications have been already proposed to date. The hydroxo functional groups ( µ 2 -OH) that constitute MFM-300, are the key for its chemical stability and remarkable sorption properties ( e.g. , selectivity). Understanding the structural properties, functionality and host–guest interactions of MFM-300 opens new and exciting opportunities for applications in the frontiers of science.
