Emerging roles for MOFs : Crystalline microporous materials constructed from molecular components have been known for over four decades, and are increasingly utilized in the context of materials design. Recent developments in the field of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) further highlight the roles of design and serendipity at the crossroads of emerging applications for this family of materials, from robust dynamics to food science.
