Metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) have emerged as an important family of porous materials whose compositional and structural tunability makes it possible to design advanced chemical and structural features for applications that are difficult to do with other types of porous materials.While the use of new organic building blocks has led to much progress, this presentation will discuss other aspects of synthetic methods that have been found to contribute to the new materials design. In particular, we explore the use of inorganic chemistry in developing new MOFs with the goal of generating porous materials for applications in areas such as catalysis or separation. Specific methods include the generation of charged frameworks and active metal sites.
