Background:
- Non-stoichiometric multicomponent hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (NS-HOFs) are emerging porous materials.
- Their properties, like fluorescence and gas adsorption, can be precisely tuned by altering component proportions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review recent advances in NS-HOFs.
- To focus on design strategies, characterization, and the influence of component distribution on functionality.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of recent studies on NS-HOFs.
- Analysis of rational design strategies and structural characterization techniques.
- Examination of component distribution heterogeneity and its impact.
Main Results:
- NS-HOFs exhibit tunable fluorescence emission and selective gas adsorption.
- Rational design enables precise control over material performance.
- Heterogeneity in component distribution significantly influences pore environment and adsorption selectivity.
Conclusions:
