Plasmonic metal?organic frameworks

Plasmonic metal-organic frameworks are composite nanoparticles comprising plasmonic metal (NPs) embedded within a framework (MOF) matrix. As result, not only the functionalities of individual components retained, but synergistic effects additionally provide improved chemical and physical properties. Recent progress in MOFs has demonstrated potential for nanofabrication various nanotechnology applications. Synthetic challenges toward have been recently addressed, resulting new opportunities practical applications, such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering, therapy, catalysis. The impact key parameters (thermodynamic vs. kinetic) on synthetic pathways is reviewed, while providing insight into related structure-derived
