Hybrid materials of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and polymers have gained interest as processible composites that might be suitable for a wide range of applications. A number of approaches have been pursued to create MOF-polymer composites, including mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) prepared with MOFs, polymer-decorated MOF particles, and MOFs constructed from polymer buidling blocks referred to as polyMOFs. PolyMOFs defy conventional polymer and MOF synthetic chemistry by converting a linear, amorphous, non-porous, organic polymer into a three-dimensional, crystalline, porous, hybrid solid. The design, synthesis, and unusual properties of polyMOF materials will be presented and discussed.
