Current Advances in the Synthesis of CD-MOFs and Their Water Stability †.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of material made up of metal ions or clusters and organic linkers. Cyclodextrin-based MOFs (CD-MOFs) are gaining popularity among MOFs due to their unique features, such as high porosity, permanent porosity, and biocompatibility. This paper focuses on recent advances in synthesizing CD-MOFs and their water stability. We highlight the difficulties involved in CD-MOF synthesis and the strategies explored to increase water stability. The advances in CD-MOF synthesis and characterization open new avenues for tailoring crystal growth processes and properties, with potential applications spanning areas such as catalysis, drug delivery, and environmental remediation. The combination of innovative synthesis techniques, systematic parameter exploration, and functionalization strategies heralds a promising era for crystal growth research and applications. Finally, we discuss the current research gaps and the future outlook of CD-MOF research. Overcoming obstacles in the synthesis and water stability of CD-MOFs is crucial for their practical applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
