Impact of Higher-Order Structuralization on the Adsorptive Properties of Metal-Organic Frameworks.

The structural processing of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) over multiple length scales is critical for their successful use as adsorbents in a variety of emerging applications. Although significant advances in molecular-scale design have provided strategies to boost the adsorptive capacities of MOFs, relatively little attention has been directed toward understanding the influence of higher-order structuralization on the material performance. Herein, we present the main strategies that are currently available for the structural processing of MOFs and discuss the influence these processes can impart on the adsorptive properties of the materials.
