  • Notes: Filipe Almeida Paz holds a first degree in chemistry from the University of Aveiro (Portugal), and a PhD from the University of Cambridge (UK). He returned to Aveiro in 2004 to occupy the position of an Auxiliary Researcher at the Associated Laboratory CICECO. His research interests are focused on chemical crystallography and on the design and preparation of novel functional metal-organic frameworks, which may find application as photoluminescent, catalytic and conductive materials. His current research group is composed of three PhD students and five post-doctoral fellows, and it has been financed over the years by numerous MOF R&D projects. Filipe has received various awards during his academic career with the most recent ones being the Vicente de Seabra Medal from the Portuguese Chemical Society, and the consideration as an Emerging Young Investigator in Materials Science by RSC in 2014.
    Sérgio Vilela (born 1983) concluded his BSc honors in Chemistry at the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD, Vila Real) in 2007, in 2009 a MSc in Laboratory Analysis also at UTAD in collaboration with the University of Aveiro (UA, Aveiro), and completed his PhD in Chemistry at UA in 2013 under the supervision of Filipe Almeida Paz and João Tomé. His current scientific interests involve the synthesis and characterization of multifunctional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with potential for gas adsorption and separation, proton conductivity and as optical sensors and heterogeneous catalysts.
    Patrícia Silva completed a first degree in Chemistry in 2006 and a MSc in Analytical Chemistry and Quality Control in 2007 at the University of Aveiro (Portugal). She obtained a PhD in Chemistry in 2013 under the supervision of Filipe Almeida Paz at the Centre for Research in Ceramics and Composite Materials (CICECO, University of Aveiro). Her research interests include the synthesis and development of multifunctional hybrid materials (in particular, photoluminescent and catalytic MOFs). She has also been devoted to the fields of nanochemistry and nanotechnology, in collaboration with industry. She is currently a visiting researcher at University College London, UK.
    João P. C. Tomé is a Senior Researcher at UAveiro & Associated Assistant Professor at UGent. He graduated in Chemistry from the University of Aveiro, from where he also received his PhD in 2001 working on porphyrin chemistry. During his career he has been awarded National and International projects and several PhD and post-doctoral individual grants have been awarded to him and group members. His current research interests include the synthesis of porphyrins and phthalocyanines with appropriate molecular properties mainly for: (i) photomedicine; (ii) photoinduced energy- and electron-transfer materials; (iii) optical (chemo)sensors and (iv) (photo)catalysis.

  • Description: After three decades of intense and fundamental research on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), is there anything left to say or to explain? The synthesis and properties of MOFs have already been comprehensively described elsewhere. It is time, however, to prove the nature of their true usability: technological applications based on these extended materials require development and implementation as a natural consequence of the up-to-known intensive research focused on their design and preparation. The current large number of reviews on MOFs emphasizes practical strategies to develop novel networks with varied crystal size, shape and topology, being mainly devoted to academic concerns. The present survey intends to push the boundaries and summarise the state-of-the-art on the preparation of promising (multi)functional MOFs in worldwide laboratories and their use as materials for industrial implementation. This review starts, on the one hand, to describe several tools and striking examples of remarkable and recent (multi)functional MOFs exhibiting outstanding properties ( e.g. , in gas adsorption and separation, selective sorption of harmful compounds, heterogeneous catalysis, luminescent and corrosion protectants). On the other hand, and in a second part, it intends to use these examples of MOFs to incite scientists to move towards the transference of knowledge from the laboratories to the industry. Within this context, we exhaustively review the many efforts of several worldwide commercial companies to bring functional MOFs towards the daily use, analysing the various patents and applications reported to date. Overall, this review goes from the very basic concepts of functional MOF engineering and preparation ending up in their industrial production on a large scale and direct applications in society. Functional MOF engineering: properties, transposition of the synthesis from the laboratory to the industry and usage in society.
