Organic Linker Molecules (2726)

Organic linker molecules play a crucial role in the construction of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), serving to bridge metal ions or clusters and establish the framework's porous architecture. The selection of linker molecules directly influences the MOF's characteristics, including porosity, surface area, and chemical stability. These linkers facilitate the creation of MOFs with tailored pore sizes and geometries, which are essential for applications like gas separation and catalysis.
