Demand for functional materials targeted for specific applications is ever-increasing. Metal-organic materials, specifically metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have emerged as a unique class of materials amenable to design and manipulation for desired function and application. Several design strategies have been utilized and developed to target viable MOF platforms, from the single-metal-ion molecular building block (MBB) approach to the hierarchical supermolecular building block and supermolecular building layer approaches (SBB and SBL, respectively). This inherent built-in information allows access to highly stabile and made-to-order porous materials toward applications pertaining to energy and environmental sustainability. Specifically, materials for CO2 separation and capture will be highlighted, as well as insights into MOF membrane construction and respective gas separation properties.
