  Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are constructed from a combination of
inorganic and organic units to produce materials which display high porosity,
among other unique and exciting properties. MOFs have shown promise in many
wide-ranging applications, such as catalysis and gas separations. In this
review, we highlight MOF research conducted by Germany-based research groups.
Specifically, we feature approaches for the synthesis of new MOFs,
high-throughput MOF production, advanced characterization methods and examples
of advanced functions and properties.
