Abstract

Quantum materials and metal‐organic framework (MOFs) materials describe two attractive research areas in physics and chemistry. Yet, with very few exceptions, these fields have been developed with little overlap. This review aims to summarize these efforts and outline the huge potential of considering MOFs as quantum materials, called quantum MOFs. Quantum MOFs exhibit macroscopic quantum states over wide energy and lengths scales. Examples are topological materials and superconductors, to name but a few. In contrast to conventional quantum materials, MOFs exhibit promising unconventional degrees of freedom such as buckling, interpenetration, porosity, and rotations, stimulating the design of novel quantum phases of matter.
