Abstract
The area of metal organic frameworks (MOF) has witnessed rapid growth over the past two decades. The successful synthesis of MOFs depends on the subtle balance between the coordination ability of the metal ion and the organic ligands. The discovery of many new MOF structures over the years suggests that this balance between the organic and the inorganic components have been achieved.
The driving force for the study of MOFs, of course, is their potential use in the areas of Lewis acid catalysis, sorption, separation and storage of gases. In this article, we have attempted to highlight the important developments that have taken place during the last decade. In doing so, our focus has been to familiarize the readers with the available diversity in the structures and hence the structural aspects only have been described and discussed.
