Abstract

The unique structural advantage of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) determines the great prospect and developability in gas adsorption and separation. Both ligand design and microporous engineering based on crystal structure are significant lever for coping with new application exploration and requirements. Focusing on the designable pore and modifiable frameworks of MOFs, this review discussed the recent advances in the field of gas adsorption and separation, and analyzed the host–guest interaction, structure–performance relations, and the adsorption/separation mechanism from ligand design, skeleton optimization, metal node regulation, and active sites construction. Based on the function-oriented perspective, we summarized the main research recently, and made an outlook based on the focus of microporous MOFs that require further attention in the structure design and industrial application.
