Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), formed by the self-assembly of metal centres or clusters and organic linkers, possess many key structural and chemical features that have enabled them to be used in sensing platforms for a variety of environmentally, chemically and biomedically relevant compounds. In particular, their high porosity, large surface area, tuneable chemical composition, high degree of crystallinity, and potential for post-synthetic modification for molecular recognition make MOFs promising candidates for biosensing applications. In this review, we separate our discussion of MOF biosensors into two categories: quantitative sensing, focusing specifically on luminescence-based sensors for the direct measurement of a specific analyte, and qualitative sensing, where we describe MOFs used for fluorescence microscopy and as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. We highlight several key publications in each of these areas, concluding that MOFs present an exciting, versatile new platform for biosensing applications and imaging, and we expect to see their usage grow as the field progresses.

Abstract Nanomaterials have aroused the interest of many researchers and become a research hotspot in recent years and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) included in that are a class of new organic-inorganic hybrid porous materials formed through the self-assembly of organic ligands and inorganic metal ions. MOFs have been attracting increasing attention due to their structural diversification, large specific surface area, high porosity, inerratic pore space framework. These characteristics play their advantages in different fields and make some excellent achievements. This article summarizes the research progress of metal-organic framework in the field of environment especially the remarkable achievements in adsorption and provides a clear help for understanding the research progress and prospects for future research.
