Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are organic-inorganic hybrid crystalline porous materials. MOFs have an extraordinarily large internal surface area. Metal organic framework are very popular structures in the area of storage of gases including hydrogen and carbon dioxide, water absorption, catalysis and drug delivery. The properties of MOFs such as their high surface areas, their stability to acids and bases make them attractive for solid phase microextraction. The preparation of the nanocomposite adsorbents containing MOFs is also an attractive part of solid phase microextraction studies.
In this presentation, the main strategies on the usage of MOFs and nanocomposites for the solid phase microextraction of organic and inorganic species at trace levels have been discussed with some examples from our research group.
