Abstract

The remarkable photo physical and electrochemical properties of porphyrins and their derivatives have led to extensive exploration of these compounds for a variety of applications. Porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered important consideration in latest years due to their unique structural characteristics and versatile applications. These substances are constructed by coordinating metal ions with organic ligands, forming highly porous and ordered networks with huge surface areas. This study presents a top level view of the synthesis techniques and structural capabilities of porphyrin-primarily based MOFs, emphasizing the diverse range of metal ions and natural linkers employed to tailor their residences for particular applications. The exceptional porosity and surface area of those materials permit diverse functionalities, in gasoline storage and separation packages, porphyrin-primarily based MOFs showcase high adsorption capacities and selectivity for gases which include hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds, making them promising applicants for strength storage and environmental remediation. Additionally, their catalytic activity has been exploited in organic transformations, photo catalysis, and electro catalysis, offering sustainable solutions for chemical synthesis and energy conversion processes. Porphyrin-based MOFs represent a versatile class of materials with immense potential across diverse fields, paving the way for innovative solutions in energy, environmental, and biomedical applications.
