Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of composite materials in which organic molecules bind to inorganic molecules (usually high-core metal clusters or intermediate metal ions) by bonding coordinates and forming a cage-like framework or structure and have unique features. Therefore, several types of crystalline or flat structural arrangements are feasible and are studied by the X-ray diffraction method (XRD). Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis is used to determine the atomic makeup of MOFs since they contain both organic and inorganic types of molecules. Numerous techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis, Dynamic light scattering (DLS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), etc., are used to examine the functionality following MOF creation. Some of these techniques, which are mostly critical, are described in this chapter.
