METAL ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS (MOFs) AND METHODS OF USE

Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relates to articles, compositions, and systems for targeted cargo delivery and release. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to metal organic frameworks (MOF). The MOFs comprise a plurality of metal clusters and a plurality of ligands that are coordinated with the plurality of metal clusters. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to the MOFs possessing azobenzene moiety sensitive to hypoxic conditions. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to one-dimensional coordination polymers being utilized for drug delivery for cancer treatment. While in some embodiments, the disclosure relates to the persistent luminescent phosphors and their photoluminescence behaviour in the presence of oxygen. Lastly, in some embodiments, the disclosure relates to how MOFs have been employed in OLED technology because of their tunable nature, large surface area and their versatile chemistry. Thus, MOFs play an important role in photovoltaic technology and expanding the market for sustainable energy solutions.
