Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) emerge as a new high potential material class. High specific surface areas, catalytic activities for selective conversion and scalable synthesis routes promise a huge variety of potential applications in gas storage, air and hydrogen purification, CO2 reduction, and various chemical processes. The workshop brings together experts from academia and industry with a focus on synthesis routes of MOFs and appropriate characterisation methods. Beside a survey of the state-of the art the workshop focuses the attention on new innovative processes.
