Metal Organic Frameworks: A Versatile Class of Hybrid Compounds for Luminescent Detection and Adsorptive Removal of Enviromental Hazards

ABSTRACT

With the emerging and alarming environmental deterioration and weakening of human health have become a global menace which have posed severe potential impact on the worldwide growing concern for the ecological conditions. Metal Organic Frameworks, a class of porous, robust and rigid compounds has been effectively fascinated and categorized for their versatile role as luminescent detectors and adsorbents for harmful anthropogenic pollutants from the environment . In this review, we aim to update the database of several MOFs which emphasize the role of MOFs, and their mechanism based on the luminescent detection and adsorptive removal of  different anthropogenic pollutants. Moreover, we have tried a plausible way to relate these two applications to adapt the design, synthesis and experimental strategies of MOFs for simultaneous detection and adsorptive removal of anthropogenic contaminants.
