= Metal–organic framework
A <metal–organic framework> is an extended coordination material built from metal-containing nodes joined by organic linkers. Many frameworks possess accessible pores, although porosity and stability depend on the particular structure.
Changing the linker or node can alter pore size, adsorption, and chemical functionality. This supports applications in molecular separation and gas uptake while showing why surface area alone is not a sufficient description of performance.
