ABSTRACT
Pillar-layered metal-organic frameworks (PL-MOFs) are advanced crystalline porous substances built using metal ions, oxygen- and nitrogen-donor linkers. The pillar-layered strategy emerged as a very effective way to incorporate the Schiff base functionalities into pore cages of MOFs by using N-donor Schiff base pillar ligands. The Schiff base functionalities provide active sites for enhanced performance in sensing, catalysis, adsorption, extraction, and gas separation areas. Although the PL-MOFs have gained remarkable advances in the last few decades, Schiff base PL-MOFs have been reviewed to a lesser extent up to this point. In this way, a review summing up their performance is profoundly expected. This review covered the recent developments connected with Schiff base PL-MOFs, including synthesis and applicability in various potential fields. It also included the challenges and forthcoming pathways for fulfilling the research and development needs of Schiff base PL-MOFs.
