Cyclodextrin-metal–organic framework (CD-MOF): From synthesis to applications

Porous coordination compounds, commonly known as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), exhibit manyunique characteristics (e.g., high surface area, high porosity, and tunability). The corresponding naturallyoccurring counterparts, CD-MOFs have opened a new avenue of research in light of its non-toxic, edible,and renewable nature. These characteristics have led to their applications into numerous directionsincluding drug delivery, CO2 capture, separation/purification, adsorption, sensors, food packaging,electrical conductors, memristors, photocatalysis, and polymerization. In this review, we provide a briefdiscussion about the available technologies for the synthesis of CD-MOFs and their applications in manyprospective areas.
