Metal–inorganic framework

Metal–inorganic frameworks (MIFs) are a class of compounds consisting of metal ions or clusters coordinated to inorganic ligands to form one-, two-, or three-dimensional structures. They are a subclass of coordination polymers, with the special feature that they are often porous. They are inorganic counterpart of Metal–organic frameworks.[1]

History

Millon's base which have been known since early 20th century, can be considered as MIFs. [1]

Linkers

MIF with Borazocine linker was developed for hydrogen storage. [2] Cu2I2Se6 has Se6 linkers.[3] There are many MIFs with pnictogen linkers.[1]
