Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) are crystalline porous organic-inorganic hybrid materials which, by filling their pores with guest molecules, can create functionalities through interactions between the organic-inorganic based frameworks of the MOF (host) and its guest molecules. This host-guest chemistry has the potential to bring ‘designable’ electrical properties, allowing for a material to be organized in ways never before possible—paving the way for the next-generation of thin-film smart devices.
