Organic frameworks are interconnected networks of channels, created in
order to obtain stable rigid one-, two-, or three-dimensional pore structures, having
well-ordered structures and uniform pore sizes. Hence, herein is presented a conspectus
on the field of organic frameworks, namely covalent-organic frameworks (COF) and
metal-organic frameworks (MOF), including their preparation, as well as detailed
examples on several promising applications with 300 references provided. Some
synthetic details on the preparation of some state-of-the-art compounds are given as
well.
Keywords: COF, Covalent organic framework, Energy storage, Gas adsorption,
Metal organic framework, MOF, Separation technologies, Porous catalysts.
