Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new category of crystalline hybrid materials, also known as brilliant porous coordination materials that are constructed using an organic linker and inorganic secondary building units (metal ions/metal nodes). MOFs are also shown broad applications such as gas sorption, catalysis, sensing, magnetism, photo-catalysis, and so on. MOFs could be often synthesized by in situ, and other methods. The geometry of MOFs is generally dependent on the connectivity of organic linkers with metal ions’ secondary building blocks (SBUs). In this chapter, we highlight the advancement of organic linkers to form MOF, to their sorption study and topology. The anionic and neutral organic linkers are also categorized on their donating sites. The higher functionality of the linker is formed a well-porous network with a combination of SBUs. The same organic linker could be formed different structures with different SBUs with unique topologies.
